Kindle2 Update

I got my Kindle2 just a couple of weeks ago. I absolutely
love it! I can't believe I didn't know about this sooner, cause
it would have saved me a lot of money for books I bought over
the year. Even though you have to purchase the books anyway,
through Amazon. I just finished reading The Host by
Stephanie Meyer. I got so caught up in it, I have been staying
up way past 2 in the morning reading for the last few days.
I'm getting kind of tired here...lol! Maybe the novelty of it
will wear off in a bit, but I really enjoy reading, so maybe not.
I do have to force myself to do something else other than read.
I made another playlist for reading by. He's a Korean composer
and pianist. Great music to relax by.

Blogging is like...


exercise or dieting. You know how
you go at it religiously and slowly you
drop a day or maybe two and then it
seems like you quit all together? That's
kind of the direction I see myself going in
lately, at least with my blogging. Or maybe
my life just got really boring and I don't
have much to talk about. Yeah, that's
it...I've become boring. I've been
waiting for the daffodils to push up and
bloom. And I have seen signs that this
could be happening.


Actually, I've purchased a couple of really
great beading books and have enjoyed
pouring over the pages. Lot's of inspiration
going on there. The two books I got are:

A Charming Exchange
by Kelly Snelling and Ruth Rae

Semiprecious Salvage
by Stephanie Lee

Love them both, but my real favorite is
The Semiprecious Salvage. I find myself
thumbing through it quite a bit and actually
reading (I know that sounds bad). Usually
I look at the pictures or jump right to the
directions. But Stephanie has little stories
written through out the book, like pages of
a journal. She has some very interesting
ideas for making found art items.

And last, but not least Nancy at the Rabbit Muse
is having a great sale in her Etsy shop. 25%
off everything till April 5th. That's no joke
either. I'm gonna roam around her shop and
see if there's something I might need. So hop
on over and see what she has, you won't be
sorry!
