Five Songs

So lately, everyone seems to be filling out the "Five Things" on Facebook. One that I was going to do was the "Five Favorite Songs", but honestly I love music too much to pick just five songs. So, I'm going to compile multiple "Five Favorite Songs" lists.

Tonight's edition:

Five Country Songs That Move Me (in no particular order)
1) Independence Day by Martina McBride
2) Bring on the Rain by Jo Dee Messina
3) Good Morning Beautiful by Steve Holy
4) Something More by Sugarland
5) Johnny and June by Heidi Newfield

and

Five Songs that Make Me Thankful for Road Trips With My Older Brother When I Was in Middle School (also in no particular order)
1) Say It Ain't So by Weezer
2) Hey Jealousy by Gin Blossoms
3) Superman's Dead by Our Lady Peace
4) Shimmer by Fuel
5) Good by Better Than Ezra


Stay tuned for more lists. Like I said in my earlier post- work is SLOW!

Tweet tweet

I finally caved and joined twitter yesterday. You can find me @karawilliamson. I have a feeling that this will quickly become an unhealthy addiction.
It has been so slow in the store lately and I've been glued to the internet. I also read four books in five days. Yeah...it's been reallllllly slow. Right now, I'm working on Kate's traveling scarf and jamming out to Eurythmics on the light rock station we have playing in the store.
The song "Here Comes the Rain" is quite appropriate, as it has been continuously raining for the last week. I'd like to blame the lack of sales on the rain, but the truth is the island seems abandoned since Easter. Things should pick up again this weekend because Memorial Day is Monday. Rumor has it that the resort is close to sold out in June and July. That'll be great for business.

It's a gorgeous Saturday...

And no one is shopping! Everyone is at the beach. :(

I've been here at Fresh Squeezed for 8 1/2 hours with another 2 left. I am bored. I haven't had a sale since 11 o'clock this morning. Hopefully I'll have a 6 o'clock hour like last night...I sold over $1000 in one hour. It was a great way to end the night and start the month.

On the bright side when I leave tonight at 7:15, I don't have to be back until 1pm on Monday. Yay for half of a weekend! I'm going to check out Summit Church again in the morning. Afterwards my condo is in desperate need of cleaning!
