Kindle Me This

I was lucky enough to have yesterday afternoon off from work, so I could do some laundry and tidy up my life a bit before Mama gets here tomorrow. I was also hoping my kindle would arrive while I was home. While I was lounging on the bed, painting my toe nails (it was ESSENTIAL that I paint my toe nails. It had been too long) I heard a knock at the door. I rushed to answer it, but the UPS truck was already pulling away. "Wait! WAIT! I'm here I want my package!" I yelled to the big brown truck.

The UPS guy poked his head out, smiled, and said, "It's on the porch!"

I looked down, grabbed the little package, and giggled with delight. I ran inside, and slammed the door. I didn't even have time to be embarrassed that I yelled at the UPS man.

I ripped it open, read a little tiny bit of the user guide, and immediately uploaded Mockingjay. I had the library book, but I was barely half way through it. I chose to finish reading it on the kindle, and it has been quite an adjustment. I had heard that it would be weird going from paper books to a plastic electronic device, and it really is strange. As I was reading in bed last night, I didn't fight to keep the book open, I didn't smell the ink on the pages, I didn't accidentally get a paper cut, and I had to remind myself a couple of times that I was in fact reading a book. Even though it was a different reading experience, I am ready to get used to it. I am already grateful for the added space on my nightstand and in my backpack. 

Since I haven't had time to knit a case for it, I am using one of my favorite stocking caps as its temporary sleeve. It has worked out pretty well so far.
