Things I Am Enjoying


I bought myself a birthday gift.  The 3G Kindle.  The Sony e-reader did not work out.  It went dead and I could not get it recharged.  Not fun.  This time I decided to make a serious commitment to the e-reader.  My books take up too much room in my life.  It needs to stop.  Some books are great.  I just do not need piles of books everywhere. 
I thought the 3G would be great.  I can check my e-mails from anywhere.  Just not working out.  I am not good at figuring out how to get into my e-mail account.  I can never remember my password.  It takes forever to type it in.  Ugh!  Maybe eventually I will figure it out.
I made the decision that I was going to get a color Nook.  I watched the demonstration.  It was beautiful and I loved it.  The thing that changed my mind was I know several people that own Kindle and you can trade books.  I still need to figure that out.  The Kindle is so easy to read.  It is so crisp.  It does not even look real. 
I am going to make an effort to use the Kindle.  There are many free books.  I have paid to download two books so far.  I am reading one right now.  Time will tell if I can really enjoy reading on the Kindle.
I, FINALLY, received my cappuccino machine last week.  I am enjoying it.  The downside is the espresso is tiny!!  I can barely taste the coffee.  I am trying to tweak it and get used to making it.  Now I just need a peaceful morning to sit outside with a tiny cup of espresso and read.  
I am looking forward to a 3 day work week.  Followed by a mini vacation with the grandchildren and a friend.

I love my Kindle too although I have been back to "real" books lately. I didn't realize Kindle owners could trade! I haven't downloaded much other than the free books. And in case you haven't noticed, free books = classics that the copyright has run out on or Christian lit. I'm not afraid to commit to either. Happy reading!
