I need to shut down Texture for a while and get it together, totally re-vamp things. I’m going to re-open again on March 15th! in the meantime Texture Bookstore will only be open online. Stay tuned for the grand re-opening!

I love my sons’ method of shelving, sheesh!

My son T-bop helping me take some more bookshelves in to the bookstore.

Have you checked out the calendar recently? I’ve added some things, coming up is our Valentine’s day Special. 50% off all Romance novels! Kissy-kissy

Canceling the sale today, I figure if I can’t get out of my driveway probably no one else can get there anyway. It’s too early to go ask my neighbors to use their snow blower, but in a bit my husband and sons will get up and clear the driveway so we can get out. [...]

I switched to wordpress, check back soon! as soon as I get everything situated over here I will post regularly again.

Packing up more stuff for the bookstore ^_^

I’ve pushed back the opening for yet another month.
I had to get a job.
Two jobs, actually, one is at an in-bound call center; the other is a contract editing job I can work at home. you can read more about it here.
In a way I’m kinda bummed about the jobs because I wanted so [...]

Changing some things around, bear with me!

I just got back from Maine this past Sunday, where we spent 9 days. I loved it! Parts of Maine are so unspoiled, it really is National Geographic pretty. There were indie bookstores everywhere! As you know I’m opening Texture bookstore very soon so I just had to [...]

I twisted up my ankle pretty bad a few weeks ago. It was so slow to heal I went to two bone doctors, one said it was a hairline fracture and I needed a cast. The other said it was just a grade two sprain and all I need to do is wear a brace [...]

I am a TIRED Trula today y’all. Today was really productive but incredibly draining. This whole week is going to be busy, lots of work. Lots of doing stuff for the bookstore, lots of writing work. Being stuck on the computer working for hours like I was in this pic, which I detest.
I was feeling [...]

I just recently celebrated my 36th birthday (um it was yesterday) and I am especially happy about this birthday because 2008 is the Year of the Rat. What does this mean for me? Well the Chinese year signs are on a 12 year cycle. Every Rat year so far has been awesome for me, with [...]

I decided to turn off the comments feature on this blog, here’s hoping it will spur me to concentrate on writing great content instead of obsessively checking to see if anyone posted a comment yet.

The owner of the storefront I’m renting just gave me some story about deciding to sell the building all of a sudden, what in the underworld? He totally refunded my deposit including money for stuff I bought for repairs, but I am devastated. I was planning to open next month part-time and then have a [...]

I thought this was interesting:
American supporters of independent bookstores, such as the American Booksellers Association are often critical of corporate booksellers like Barnes & Noble and Borders Books and Music (the #1 and #2 book retailers in the U.S. as of 2005). They criticize these chain stores for dominating the bookselling industry with their large [...]

I wanted to post pics of the renovation process but I lost them during an upload from my phone. It’s just as well, it’s taking forever for me to get this done. Part of me wishes I had the money to hire people to do this for me but part of me is so happy [...]

I’d love to get suggestions and feedback about this blog including what you’d like to see. I’m going to start posting this query for feedback monthly, so if you don’t have any suggestions right now but think of some later you can always let me know next month. I’m so excited about this blog because [...]

Looks like I'm going to have all the money together by August 24th!including insurance and other stuff I didn't include in my originalcalculations. Thanks for all the well-wishes! I am thrilled that thisis all coming together.

I wonder sometimes. It’s so trying and complicated getting everything together. Sometimes I wonder if it is even worth it. Then I remember how much I love books and how this will make me feel…this is one of my dreams, and I know I can make it come true.
I have always loved books, from as [...]

I have an appointement to see a storefront tomorrow, which is really odd as it’s a Sunday. The guy said he didn’t have any other time this upcoming week until Friday, so I said Ok. Anyway this is great because my husband can come with me and look the place over, I always feel better [...]
