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.

Yes, we can talk later. Suffice to say, I am going to try and kick off a couple of ways: 1) poetry book, 2) short stories book, and 3) my novel of realism/tragedy with hope, though, of course.
After I get done with all that....(he, he, he) I will work out from my outlines (and I have a LOT of them!) to finish some historical novels, which I love most.
Wow. Arizona. We've talked about moving there but my hub has a long way to retirement...I'll be dead by then, considering how the arthritis is getting....!
Well, we'll chat lates!

You are soooo right! My spirit is willing....but the flesh is weak! (I've got a bout of Arthritis keeping me home today).
I love your tone. And I especially love the scene where you stand. Excellent, excellent beauty, the earth, isn't it?
My poor husband this morning, did not think me too bubbly, as I could not use my hands to get the collar on my Yorkie to walk him outside. .. I think the hubby was trying to get out as fast as he could so he doesn't have to dress, feed, walk the dogs, and clean the house for me....
No matter. The hands are starting to work again (and I have my safety, fingerless gloves on now!) I am writing today, regardless, and working on my novel.
Where is the scene in which you stand? So beautiful!
God Bless!

I'm so pleased that you have come to share my page, l look forward to chatting with you.
I'm moving like the wind trying to recover my lost page, and gathering my friends at light speed, but I will return in hopes of us having a cup of cyber tea, and chatting a while,
Ciao!
