Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.
What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.
What about you?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.

An asset, to an author, is his or her website. To go along with that, however, is getting trafic to that website so it can be seen.The AUTHOR'S WEBSITE LINK EXCHANGE can help.
The concept is simple. I put a link to your website in exchange for you putting a link, on your website, to mine
Why a website link exchange? Not everyone who is directed to my website, will want my book. If they browse my website, and click the LINK EXCHANGE, they may see something there they like. If I can't get their money, to buy my book, I hope they'll spend their money on one of my friends. That goes both ways.
I've had several authors tell me, that since they've had the link exchange, traffic to their websites has increased. I can attest to that as mine has almost tripled.
Here's an open invitation to any author who has a website, join the thirteen other authors who are participating in this link exchange. It's free advertising, so who wouldn't want that?
Not only that, but I've just crreated a second website, for all my published books, so you're website gets double the exposure. check it out at http://www.freewebs.com/erniesbooks
