Well last week I got my Kindle and since then I have been in what I like to call "KindyLand". Since my eye problems popped up reading had become a bit of a challenge even after the right eye was "fixed". (the left eye hasn't been worked on yet) On the Kindle I can make the font supersize!! And of course I ordered a cover to put it in so it will be protected and today I got a light called the Kandle to attach to it so I can read in bed without having to have turn on the bedside lamp. However, I had to call the Kandle folks to get help with the batteries. I couldn't figure out which way the little bastards went in. So now I am completely armed to go back to reading mindless entertainment, biographies and other junk that catches my attention.
I like the fact that the books download so quickly, but since I haven't really read anything in such a long time I am so behind. But I am trying to pace myself and not download every book that I just can't wait to read all at once.
This new gadget could become very addictive, however, I am going to do my best not to become so attached to it that I forget how to keep up with housework and cook dinner. (ok I confess I don't do that much housework since I have a housekeeper). I shall endeavor keep up with the laundry (the housekeeper doesn't do laundry, but she does windows!). And after having purchased the book (hard cover) 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking" Volume 1, I shall make some really impressive dinners and a cake.
But ya know what, the husband type is out of town right now, so I am going back to my Kindle! I don't have to cook supper tonight!!!

As this is my first post
I must confess it is a bit odd to know how to start a blog. If one doesn't have any true aim and/or followers it is a bit like talking to yourself. So I shall amuse myself and at some point hope this too will amuse others as well.
This past weekend my husband Mike and I made a major purchase. We decided that after 18 years we were ready for a new fridge. As with all major purchases I like to ponder them a bit. Now this is not your normal pondering process. I will think about a purchase for months, do massive amounts of research comparing prices and wonder if we really need it. In this case we really needed it. Our old side by side had served it purpose. On the old fridge the ice maker had not worked in years. Or to be more precise after the ice maker died on us the fifth time we agreed we would observe the DNR we had promised to ahere to after it died the third time. The cold cut drawer broke just a few years ago and most importantly finding a spot to put leftovers had become a nightly chanllenge we were exhausted by.
So off to Lowe's we went and I knew what kind of new fridge I wanted. Actually I had known what kind of fridge I had wanted for years. My new fridge has side by side doors with the freezer on the bottom. When I open the doors now it is like looking at a great vista with so much room that putting up leftovers is now a joy. To say I am in love with my new fridge is a bit of an understatement. And the one thing I love about my fridge is that I will not have to upload any info to it as I am tech chanllenged. This is one of those things you just have to plug in and it works like a charm without any deep navigation or mouse required.
