It's 69 going up to 80 on a cloudy, soon to be rainy, day in Jacksonville.  My daughter is home with something that sounds just like what you have, KatieKat.  I hope you feel better soon! 

I am off to lead a Bible study with some of my older (80+) church members.  They are great!  We have the most fascinating conversations.

Hope everyone stays warm and dry and safe from tornadoes!!

Good Morning everyone!  64 and sunny in Jacksonville...glad it's warming up a bit.

Betsy, thanks for sharing your website.  Wow!!  Your quilts are extraordinary!!  I wish I lived near you so I could l take a class.

Had my coffee...now I'm trying to get to work.  (Which, as I am currently online here, is not happening quite yet!)

Thanks for the encouragement!  It is nice to have a place to check in and share.

I have to say "thanks" to Leslie. If not for your post on the Amazon Kindle Discussion Board, I would have never found KindleBoards. This is the only forum I have ever joined. I lurked for a couple weeks. I was surprised and very happy to see everyone was nice. Funny too, but the nice part was what got me. Thanks for being here and doing what you do!

Me too!  I had been on the Amazon Boards while trying to decide about buying a Kindle, and fortunately I stumbled into FearNot's post as he was awaiting his Kindle and I was totally hooked.  Leslie offered so many encouraging words that I was completely convinced to go ahead buy one.  (Leslie, they really should offer you commisssion!)   Then I saw Leslie's post about the Kindleboards and I have been here ever since.  This really is such a nice place to be.  I was on the Amazon board yesterday briefly because I had tagged the See a Kindle in Your City when I was looking for one, and someone wanted to see one in the same place (I have offered, of course, to show him mine!)...but the Kindleboards are just so much friendlier and positive!  

Thanks for all the smiles you guys give me every day!  

Beautiful sunny morning and 43 degrees here in North Florida.

Good Morning!!!!!!

Sitting here in Alexandria, VA drinking coffee, trying to catch up on Kindleboards since I couldn't be on much yesterday.  Then, working on pulling fabrics for a commissioned quilt, and on to therapy for a knee.  Also, waiting to hear the dish from a friend who was one of the supporting performers for yesterday's Kennedy Center Honors for Barbra Streisand.

Betsy,
Do you have any pictures of your quilts you could post?  I'd love to see what you do!

If you mean emailing to your K, Amazon says the system has been down for maintenance the last two days.

I wonder how long it will be down...

I email my sermon notes to my Kindle each week and use it to preach from, and the email wasn't going through when I tried to send it tonight.  I have gotten so spoiled using my Kindle on Sunday mornings...I'll hate it if I have to go back to paper notes tomorrow! 

Took Brigit with me to the gym this morning and she did quite fine on the treadmill.  I haven't been to the gym in way too long...but it was a great way to get some guilt-free, uninterrupted reading in.  Hopefully it will motivate me to get there every day!

Happy Saturday!  52 and cloudy here in North Florida.  A day off!     So I can clean, watch the SEC Championship (Go Gators!) and spend some time with Brigit (my K).  Hope everyone has a glorious day!

I found one problem so far with my Kindle time, my cats will not leave me alone  . I sat on the kitchen table having some tea and reading some more German newspaper, I got up to refill my cup, by the time I came back one of cats had already planted his butt on my kindle. Not all the way, just pushed up against it as it was laying on the table. He gave me that look as in, what?

Then I laid down on the sofa to relax a bit and to read a few pages of Pride and Prejudice with my soft blanket, next thing I know I had one cat attached on top of my right arm leaning against my face while covering my right eye with his ear and the other took over my left are which was holding the Kindle. As cat owners know, you never disturb the masters and you hold still while they do their all important resting and purring, I was stuck.

I think I need to do my reading while my owners are already deep sleeping elsewhere. 

My cat does the same thing!  Nothing is allowed to receive more attention than her...and my Kindle has been giving her some heavy competition.   

Thanks for sharing your story, it really touched my heart!  It's so cool that your Kindle was able to bring you a little slice of home. 

Kindle & Blackberry - I feel completely naked if I don't have both with me!

I use my laptop and DVR pretty much every day...

Good Morning its 44 here in New York today. I am drinking a cup of gingerbread coffee.I have a Senseo one cup coffee maker.It takes small coffee pods. I have a pod maker so I can make my own. I also have a coffee grinder so I can grind up the beans.This time of year I order Gingerbread coffee, Eggnog and Pumpkin Spice coffee.

I have a Senseo too and love it!!  I didn't know they made those flavors, though...yum.  I'll have to look for them.   I usually order the Columbian coffee pods.
