Dear Readers,
I love gadgets. I mean LOVE gadgets! The bad thing about it is that once I have them in my greedy little paws, I don't use them. So, palm pilot, ipod, camera that I only use occasionally, I'm going to apologize now because I have found a gadget that I could not possibly live without. Mike had thought about buying me one for Christmas, but I told him no, I don't want it to end up being one of those gifts that I don't use. Apparently on that day I was out of my mind.
Yes people, I have a Kindle and I'm addicted! For those of you who don't know what a Kindle is, it's an ereader from Amazon that you can download books to and take it with you EVERYWHERE! It's in my purse at the moment and I love it. I can take however many books with me at all times and it's only an itty bitty thing. I thought I would miss the page turning, the feel of a book in my hands. Nope.
This brings us to the problem-self control. As in I have absolutely none when it comes to books. BK (Before Kindle), I would stare longingly at the bookstore but never go in. Why? Because I would find something that I would absolutely have to have and then before I knew it, BAM, I'm walking out with three or four books that I "needed". If Crystal and I went perusing, I would give her my debit card and tell her, "I don't care what I tell you, do not give me that card! I don't need any new books, I'm saving my money for whatever." With my handy dandy Kindle, it's a click of a button and voila! Instant joy! That is until I see the money coming out of our checking account. But, Amazon also has free books which feeds the book addiction while introducing me to new authors that I wouldn't normally pick up and reunites me with the Classics.
Pardon me while I go and make a new list for books that absolutely have to be bought and their release dates. Happy reading!
peace and love y'all!

Again, I'm drooling! Enough your new toy!!
I won't say another word! :-)
That was supposed to say "Enjoy your new toy." LOL You deserve such wonderfulness!!! You need a photo of you reading it - for posterity sake of course. Oh, and I need some measurements!! ;-)
Many of my clients have these and I think it is one of the greatest inventions to date. You of all people needed one of these so I'm glad you got it!
Maybe I should get one of these for Ben... :)
How did we ever live without them!
Mine goes everywhere I go except the bathtub I am not sure how waterproof it would be ;)
Ha! get off the Kindle and write a new blog post LOL!!!
hello there... nice blog...
Dropped into it, while surfing the the next blog button..listening to spotify playlist.
What books I'm reading? I read mostly norwegian books these days.. but just finished Ian Halperin's Michael Jackson behind the mask. and then a book about beeing a good daddy.. but that book isn't that cool. The writer, who is a man, seem to be a female fighter.. Everything is going in directly benefit for the mother!!! a norwegian writer. Can't even remember his name. Then I have the new release of Nick Cave on the table. cant't wait for that one... HE IS A GOOD WRITER. Then a 500 ibs block of an american writer of psychiatric profesion, called FEELING GOOD. Due to my own profesion and job. Well, so long..
best wishes from Norway
