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.

Its mine!

Okay, so I gave it lots of thought and today I bought it!

Soon I will have it in my sweaty little hands.

I can hardly wait. Thanks everyone for all the input.

The first thing I'm putting on it is the Twilight Saga.

So Beverly, you will be getting those books after all.

Kindle

I'm not much of a gadget girl...I don't need

an iPod, iPhone, Blackberry or any other

technological wonder. A simple cell phone

(with camera) is about all I can handle.

But I found this the other day while looking at

Amazon and since then I have been lusting

after it. Trying to figure out ways to get

this electronic marvel for myself.

I love to read, I buy books by the bag full,

usually I pass them on to my sister or friends.

But buying books can really add up. I save

my favorites for myself, but I am running

out of room to store them. Here is the answer

to my problem: The Kindle!

It will store up to 1500 complete

books for me to reread over and over again...

Just think of the possibilities...more room in your

carry on or suitcase when traveling...those books

get heavy. No piles of books sitting around the house,

on the nightstand or in the "library".

I need that room for my special bead books.

One of these days it will be mine. I just have to figure

out when and how.......

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!
