Santa brought me a Kindle for Christmas and I've been reading on it since then. I didn't realize how spoiled it made me until I started to read Cutting for Stone, which is thick in paperback. It's nice to go back to a real book, but at the same time, it's bulkier and heavier than the Kindle. And I didn't realize how much I had come to rely on the instant dictionary! I found myself wanting to know what a word meant and looking for the arrow to navigate to the word for the dictionary. But, I had to pull the word up on my iPhone dictionary app and wait for it to load. It took so much time compared to the Kindle dictionary that I eventually gave up and used context clues to find the definition. To say the least, I'll be sticking with the Kindle for a long time!
That spontaneous roadtrip I mentioned? It happened! Three of my puppy-crazed friends and I headed to Texas and spent the weekend playing with Cowboy (the puppy's name). I'm sure that puppy was always being held or being pet! We also lucked out and had beautiful weather so we played on the lake too!
