Seriously!!! Lead me not into temptation!

Deliver me from evil. Very, very evil Girl Scout Cookies!!! Can’t. Stop. Eating. Them.

As an aside. I like them frozen. Right from the freezer with a nice cold glass of milk. I only like the Trefoils (the cookie formally known as Scotteas. Or was it Scotties? I digress…)

SuperGuy brought home 4 boxes of them for me because he knows they are my favorite cookies. I don’t know whether to kiss himĀ  :love2: or kill him… :mad2:

Save me… :help:

Melt Away

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.

Just playing with my camera, watching spring approach.

Had so much fun trying to time it so I captured the drops! Enjoy your weekend, my blogging friends.

Kindle Love

by Kacey on 3/5/2010

Okay, I confess. I love my Kindle ebook reader. Seriously. Love. It. :love:

kindle-4365

SuperGuy should be jealous! :toofunny: Here it is one morning as SuperGuy and I were reading over a couple cups of coffee on a cloudy day at sea.

I love how I can make the font big, so I don’t need to use my reading glasses. Love, LOVE that. I can wear my good sunglasses and still see to read. (You don’t even want to know that I used to put on reading glasses, then good sunglasses over them to read in the sun. Yes, I know they make reading sunglasses, but they aren’t very good.)

After I bought the Kindle…specifically to bring on the cruise, mind you, I immediately downloaded the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. I’ve read the first two books in the series when they first came out, but since it’s been years, I decided to reread those then finish the series. Her books are like 500-700 pages. It’s SO easy to hold the Kindle instead of fight big old fat books. Oh, and did I mention the large font size? :lol:

Yes, we read out on our balcony on the cruise too. You can turn the pages of the Kindle with your left or right thumb pressing a button. Very nice.

The screen savers are fun too! They have photos of different authors. It’s very easy to read and I don’t get eye strain from reading it. You can see it perfectly in the sunshine or other light. If you want to read in the dark though, you need to get one of those clamp on lights. Which I did. A pretty pink one. (hm, should have taken a photo of that too. Ah, well, another day.) I wish you could share your books (I swap books with a friend or my mom all the time, so this is going to dampen that somewhat.)

I thought I’d miss the feel and smell of a “real” book, but I got over that pronto when I realized how lightweight the Kindle is. Oh, and did I mention you can increase the font? :woot:

Do any of you have the Kindle, the Sony ereader, or the Nook? Do you love it? Hate it?
