The English Major Shares

Strange as it may sound, it has taken until now for me to contemplate the idea that just because I don't have the bookstore anymore doesn't mean I can't continue my blog! When my husband was my boyfriend, he used to jokingly refer to me as 'The Major' (sometimes 'The Private', depending on the circumstances we found ourselves in.) So, I figure, this was a blog for The English Major Bookstore so me without the bookstore leaves just 'The English Major'. And English Majors tend to like to write and blogs are good outlets for that :)
Chris and I are a few days shy of our six-month wedding annviversary! We feel like experts on the whole being married thing- not! We have had our ups and downs, but it has been wonderful. Some blog, I'll tell you about the course of our relationship- this wedding was a long time coming and I'm very happy we had it! (So is Chris, by the way:)
It is, of course, Winter here in Memphis, which for us fulltime carriage drivers, it's just such a great time of year, with it's lack of rides and cold weather. Chris and I feel like we can see a light at the end of the tunnel as there are a lot of activities in February. Of anyone is reading this, remember, it is never too early to book you Valentine's Carriage Ride with me or my husband. You can go to Carriage Tours of Memphis for me, The Carriage Company for him. I'm prettier, just for the record. Speaking of coomedy, Mike McDonald was on Showtime this morning- he's the guy that played Stuart on Mad TV- and he was doing a stand-up comedy routine and it was hysterical!! Laughed my tush off! This has definitely been the easiest winter of my life as a carriage driver ( and the most special, too.)
Well, it's Tuesday, it's supposed to snow in a few hours, 1-3 inches, so in other words, we are snowed in, there is no escape and no way out. We've stocked up on the basic supplies and both my husband and I believe we are going to make it through this storm unscathed. We will pull through it and persevere, likely stronger people for having survived it. Good Luck, Memphis, we'll see you on the other side of this storm. God speed, everyone!

The English Major Lives!!

Does anyone ever even read this blog anymore? I have started other entries, but they all seemed kind of lame. It has been an extremely lazy day for me, although I did just put two books online for sale and then I did the craziest thing. I opened a booth at Bonanza.com and I did it in about ten minutes. I never get things done on the computer in ten minutes. So, my new career as an online bookseller has been relatively painless, also not something I associate with using a computer. Anyway, married life is very good, lots of little adjustments to get used to. However, the store not being open has been a huge one to get used to. I will be at the store the month of November on Tues- Thurs, from 1-5 and if you have a dollar, I'll bet you I can find you a book!

More Wedding Pics :)

Well, here's some more wedding pics. But, low-tech girl that I am, I have them all set up in mostly chronological order, only backwards. So, for best results, page pown and start form the last one up! Enjoy! Also, no offense to my friends, but these are some of their pictures. My photographers pics are coming soon, so, yay, you get to see even more! :)

Our Wedding

Some pictures from our wedding. I've officially been married for over 24 hours, so things must be going okay!

Will post more pics when I get them! Oh, and I have some potential buyers for the store!! Yay!

My Wedding, This Sunday at 8 p.m.

So, I am not sure how many people actually read this blog anymore, but for you lucky few who do, you are invited to my wedding this Sunday at 8 p.m. at Vance Park downtown. There will be food and refreshments afterward and I'd love to see English Major Patrons there!!

Feeling Lucky!!!

Hot, hot, hot. I have the day off and it is hotter than Hades outside. Kinda chilly inside, really. Been thinking about how lucky every second I spend in air conditioning is a very lucky second. Of all the times on the planet to be alive and to live in a part of the world where air conditioning is the norm is just plain lucky! And hopefully, next time you come into the bookstore looking for inspiration, validation or motivation, you will find that one certain book that will make you feel just plain lucky!

What if I told you...

What if I told you the store was for sale?
