Time Out for Kindle Reading
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?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
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?
Did You Shop on Black Friday?
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?
Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?
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.Morgan

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

How's everything going in London. I heard something on the television the other night and wanted to get your take on it. A British subject said that London and the City of London are two different things. When I was visiting your beautiful country, I was told (and shown) what was proported to be the old city gates. Is that what the person meant by his statement? We were told that London is approximately 600 square miles. That's a lot of territory for one city.

Is it getting cold in England, yet? Still balmy and breezy down here. At least we've cooled off to mid-eighties temps. And the humidity is down to 60%. How's that creativity of yours going?

I know quite a few part-time Florida-ites like you. I have a friend who lives in Norway. He jets between Spain, Oslo, and southwest Florida. I'm trying to teach him the American language. Me!! With my deep southern accent!! As you probably know, the American language is totally different from the English language. And even more so, in the south. I'm originally from north Georgia, Only been in Florida for ten years, so I have a southern drawl that will knock your socks off.
When we were in UK, I wanted people to talk to me just so I could hear that wonderful British accent. It's so sexy and romantic. But once I opened my mouth, the British would want to hear ME talk. It was little disconcerting, because I thought I sounded just like any other American. Apparently not. But I enjoyed the heck out of it!
Looking forward to more of your British mystery series. Sorry I took so long to get back with you. I don't access my internet every day. Maybe only once a week. I try to spend as much of my time as I can on my writing. But my "real Job" (accounting) keeps me busy.
I can hear Big Ben as I'm typing this.

What are some of your books' titles?
Love London. My husband and I were there in 2001. We enjoyed it very much. Big city! Too much to see and do in time alotted. I enjoy your British television mysteries. Currently we're watching the Inspector Lynley series. I understand the series has ended their run? Did the actors just get tired of it?
So wonderful to have a "pen pal" in England. Thanks for inviting me. Hope to talk to you soon.
