Dreaming Again
I'm on vacation from Hell next week.....thank goodness.
Today was my day off so I cleaned my ass off all day.
Tomorrow I'll do the rest of the place and be done with deep cleaning.
I am a smart woman.....
I was gonna put it off until my vacation but then I got to thinking....
Hmmm....
Vacation.
Clean.
F-that.
I think my husband is rubbing off on me....
shut up and stop thinking dirty.....
I actually have some ideas running around in my head and apparently they're sticking.
I'm thinking of opening an ebay store.
I have a crapload of books just lying around being ignored that I've read a few times each.....
I listed some of them on regular ebay auctions and sold a couple.
I've been buying a lot of books on ebay because I like to read and books are damn expensive at Borders....and at freaking k-Mart......
Did I ever mention how much I hate K-Mart?
Well, anyways....
I will read anything....I might not like it much , sometimes, but I'll still read it.
I think it's a shame to waste good books sitting in an attic , and I think that it's a shame that books cost so much.
Reading has always been a comfort to me , an escape...a way out of my own head.
Chris suggested that since I love books so much and since there are so many people like me ,sell the things on ebay ......
I think I might.
I have ideas for my little online bookshop.
Incorporate bookmarks with my art and other's art , too.
Do mugs, t-shirts , cd's , videos........hell, everything.
I've always wanted a restaurant that incorporated art and music and damn good food....my three loves , outside of the flesh and blood ones.
I'm a simple soul , I've never wanted much when it comes to money, I just wanna pay my bills and buy food for the family......for this, though....I wish I had funds, the kind of funds that would make my vision, my dream , stick.
In the meantime, though, I think that the ebay thing is right up my alley.
We'll see.
I really do want that place , though.
I can see it in my head......
Artwork scattered in every available space...on every available wall...music playing and the CDs displayed along with the art....the artwork on the Cds themselves ....plants in corners , on tables , hanging from the beams on the ceiling....small , intimate tables and spaces, big areas for families......low slung, overstuffed chairs surrounding round tables.....books scattered on every surface, and books on shelves.An area where kids can be kids....no shutting them up.....
People gathering there to relax after work and have a good read and a good meal and to hear quality live music.
A place where friends meet to drink or eat or just hang out and meet new people.
A place for everyone.
I want that place.
I know the menu, I know the specials , I know the daily feature.
I know it all in my head.
I've written it down.
I just need the funds.
I just need the support.
I already know who , if I were to do this in the next few years, would be my staff.
I would support local talent and artists and artists from far away.
I would treat my staff with incredible respect if they deserved it.
I know what I am and I know what I would do.
I would do everything.
And that's how I would like it.
Ebay store...here I come....for now.
Peace and you've read my pretty dreams....
What are YOURS?
Share with me...it's Show and Tell Time.
