Rosie Thomas Rocks!

Sat on a wooden floor at a joint called The Earl and was hypnotized by Rosie Thomas on stage with her pink dress, guitar and soul kissing voice. She sounds like an angel and her lyrics are honest and come from her heart.

check out her website www.rosiethomas.com and take a little listen.

if you get a chance to see her perform, it is well worth the time and money.

So many books, so little time or money to buy them

i remember when i worked in the corporate world. i made more money so i bought hardcover books and lattes to satisfy my thirst for knowledge and caffeine as well as to tolerate going to a job i hated everyday.

now i work in a bookstore, i'm surrounded by books and talk to people about books and shelve books eight hours a day but cannot afford to buy books or lattes on a whim anymore.

i love going to work everyday though, and i love being surrounded by books and discussing them. i guess that is more important than making money.

they say money can't buy happiness but it can buy books and coffee and options.......
