My Kindle Thoughts

So, one of my favorite new toys, my Amazon Kindle. I forgot how much I liked to read.

With two small kids and all the kid gear to take with me, I have no room for a book. With my Kindle I get to take a ton of books (plus all of Amazon's library) with me.

I used to read avidly when I was younger, pre-husband, pre-baby. Seems like a long time ago, and my oldest is 4 and a half, do I guess it has been a long time.
I have re-read some old books, read a few new ones too, like the recent book The Lost Symbol and Angels & Demons before that. And I have to mention Heat Wave based off the show Castle, a great read.
Newspapers and magazines via Kindle didn't really appeal to me, however I didn't read them before, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise. Blogs are a different story, although I could get them for free online for as little as $1 or $2 they can be delivered to my Kindle to read at my leisure. I haven't decided if I like them enough to pay yet.
I love the ability to change books easily if I don't feel like a mystery or adventure today I can read a romance novel or what ever might strike my fancy.

Do I miss the actual book? Honestly I did once, for five minutes. Then I wondered what was wrong with me. We never have any where to put books in my house, they are always stashed away somewhere to gather dust and not be seen until we move or clean. Of course, not with the children's books, but I don't read those, well, generally not by myself.

Now this is all what I think of the Kindle. I was terrified after buying it that it would be a waste, and I am very glad for me it wasn't. Results may vary, but I recommend the Kindle as a great e-reader.
And if you wonder about the Nook, I can't say too much except that I haven't used one. Oh, and let's not forget the books are generally cheaper on Amazon versus Barnes and Nobel.

Time to stop typing and start reading.

Random Thoughts

So I'm wondering, what to write about tonight. The annoying ladies at work I share the bathroom with who can't flush their seat covers? I don't think that will lead anywhere positive.

Let's try something. I have an intense urge to write. Sadly the urge doesn't provide direction. I had the same problem when I was pregnant, both times, with food. I wanted something to eat, but nothing ever seemed to be that something. It was just as annoying then. Maybe more so as I was bigger and couldn't always see my feet. You wouldn't think you would ever miss your feet, and then suddenly they become one of many things you can't get to for what seems like a very long time.

Look at me. Rambling aimlessly on about feet. I am not a foot person I swear. My youngest, Billie (often B for short) loves shoes. We have to keep her away from the shoe closet when we open it. She loves to pull them all out.

Today was an important day for B. She learned to take her diaper off in the middle of the living room while we entertained Kaylee playing Uno Rush on the Xbox 360. I squealed and Dave put her diaper back on. Apparently just in time as I changed her not 5 minutes later and it was nasty.

I should try and sleep. Not really sleepy, but I have to get up early for work. Sweet dreams.

Cloudy Sunday

Sitting around the house listening to the girls not nap.

I have not re-loaded the 5os on my BlackBerry to see if I can get app world and facebook to work. I should. I am just being lazy. I have been thinking

I opened an avon online store, have to see how that goes - http://www.youravon.com/moxendale and I have the amazon one - http://astore.amazon.com/melissashom07-20

I have been thinking about trying to edit my story and maybe publish it via amazon kindle. You only get 35% of the sale. Not sure if it is worth it. Anyone tried?

So I am hoping that backing up my BlackBerry and re-loading my OS will get the new FaceBook and BlackBerry App World applications to work on my OS 5. For some reason they don't want to work for me. I HATE re-loading the OS, but I have to give it a go.
Hopefully there will be an official OS 5 out soon. :)

We watched Knowing tonight. I found it to be kind of a let down.

I loved the first episode of Fringe. Bones was a little odd. Heroes was better, but was still not everything it once was. Castle was good too.

Tomorrow we will probably watch Warehouse 13 finale. It is a good show.

In local news, Cyprus Gardens apparently closed today. I have never been, but it seems sad.

Betrayal

No better way to ruin a friday than to be betrayed.
