Hoo, boy! I have soooo much sorting and pricing to do, it's gone beyond ridiculous to ludicrous.
One of those be careful what you wish for moments, I guess. Not that long before we bought the bookstore, another one in town closed after the owner died. It had been there for years and years. We've said several times that we'd have loved to get the stock from it.
Well, we just did. I got a call from someone who had bought a building and found 70 or so boxes of books in the basement, along with 8 or 9 bookshelves-did I want them? So we went to check it out, expecting crappy books in crappy shape, ruined from being in a basement...Glory be, it turned out to be leftovers from the old store! Happy dance! Pretty much, we paid for the bookshelves and the guy threw in the boxes of books as part of the deal. He was just looking to cover the expense of having rented a truck and a storage locker while he cleared the building. Can you say score? :)
On a far less pleasant note, I've got the doors open because it's so nice out today, but I've had to evacuate the computer a couple of times so far due to yellow jacket invasion. *scream!* I put out some fresh candy in the bowl by the register and some of it is strongly fake fruity. So I looked up because I saw the motion of the wasp, just in time to see it land in the candy dish and start exploring. Isn't that a nightmare vision? "Oooh, candy! I'll just reach in and grab a piece...wait a minute, candy doesn't sting...aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!"
A girl could get sued!

LOL Not the yellers!
Congrats on the score. :) That's awesome. :)
Thanks! I feel like a kid at Christmas, even with all the extra work.
I bribed the Yellowjackets to stay out. *blush* I unwrapped a piece of sticky fruity candy and put it and a can of Dr Pepper outside the store door. So they've been getting a sugar rush without having to come in to look for it.
I hope this doesn't mean that I'm gonna get the daily shake-down from the YJ Mafia everyday. They managed to extort candy from me once. Now they'd going to think I'm a pushover.
LOL!! :D
