Cuz it wasn’t me. I said to Pato last night, I don’t have to set the alarm for 2 weeks! I was all stoked. Then this morning someone’s internal alarm clock went off at 5:30 AM. Christiano was crawling all over Pato and I, then onto Alyce who decided to get up. *sigh* So much for sleeping in on the first day of Christmas break.
Got up and came out here with them. Made some coffee. Sat down and went to upload my pictures I took to kick off the new Loreal Bzz Campaign from BzzAgent and my CF card is corrupt. Another big *sigh* I guess it’s good I figured it out 2 days before Christmas vs taking all of my pictures Christmas morning and having it be corrupt, losing all my Christmas pictures. I still have time to go get a new CF card. Kinda hard to think much more positively when I went to bed at 1 AM and got up at 5:30 AM.
It’s my own fault for staying up late when I hadn’t gotten much sleep the night before. (Remember Christmas present wrapping with Christiano?) I got my replacement Kindle (the digital ink went all funky on mine AGAIN Thank God they ship the replacement under warranty out overnight.) last night and was in the middle of Laurell K Hamilton’s book Blood Noir, book 16 in the Anita Blake series. I didn’t finish it, but I had to make myself turn it off and go to bed. I have one more book left to read in that series, Skin Trade, and then I have to wait for book 18, Flirt, to be released in Feb. How did I miss that she came out with book 8 in the Merry Gentry series? Just saw Divine Misdemeanors on Amazon. It’s on my Kindle wish list now. I love Laurell K Hamilton, I don’t have to wait years for her new books to come out. In fact, I get surprised when I miss that one has come out and I haven’t seen it yet. Maybe I should sign up for her mailing list?
Who are your favorite authors? Besides Laurell K Hamilton, I *heart* Sherilyn Kenyon (I’m behind on her books now too), Diana Gabaldon, Karen Marie Moning, Stephenie Meyer, Charlaine Harris, Janet Evanovich, Jennifer Erin Valent, etc etc etc, can’t tell I like urban fantasy books can you? I love a good mystery and romance (especially historical romances) but I really love fantasy. (Not all of the authors listed are fantasy, but most of them are.)
I’ve got The Help by Katherine Stockett on my Kindle ready to read too. I’ve heard really good things about that book. I can’t wait to get started on it, but I have to finish my Anita Blake books that I’m reading first.
I have come to the realization that I have a major rajor slight addiction to my Kindle. I need a 12 step program. When my Kindle broke Sunday night, I felt a little short of breath, my hands felt empty, I panicked thinking what am I supposed to do while nursing? I know, I could gaze into his eyes, but if he’s going to sleep, I can’t gaze into his eyes. At 10 months, I still think he’s the most precious thing ever (besides the 3 others), but I’ve done looked at him a lot already while he’s sleeping, I still get the urge to gaze upon his sleeping angel-ness, but at this point, you dual task while nursing most of the time. What was I supposed to do? Read a paper book? EGADS! No, that wouldn’t have been bad if I hadn’t already read on my books here, twice. Since I bought my Kindle, I’ve had no need to buy a paperback.
I was taking a shower yesterday afternoon when Jordan came in and said I signed for the box the UPS man dropped off.
I said, is it my Kindle? He said, yeah. I did the naked dance of joy under the shower head.
I think I am going to go back to bed if children will join me.
I’m going to leave you with someone who is way more funny than I am right now.
