THIS AND THAT

I am feeling a bit depressed tonight. Of course maybe it’s because it’s 1 and I should be sleeping. This morning I slept in until 11. I haven’t done that for years! That’s probably why I’m not tired now.
I was also fighting with the TV. They added high definition channels and I just get so confused with the remotes.
I was looking through the pictures from my son’s wedding. I guess I miss my children and grandchildren. I am choosing some to put in a scrapbook. I can probably start tomorrow.
Nothing much today. I went to the pool for awhile. I took back my needlepoint. I hope she isn’t too upset. She kept saying how much work it was and it is. I was sitting at the pool doing nothing so I took it and will do it myself. I don’t make such a fuss about doing it. Maybe I’ll take her out for lunch. She wants to help me choose the colours. I can really do it myself but I guess I’ll ask her to come when I am ready to buy the floss. Then it’s up to her. Most of the women here are so ANAL about doing anything especially their needlepoint. The back of their canvas looks as good as the front. I can’t see what’s the difference about the back. No one is going to look at it.
I bought the Kindle Fire after reading all the reviews about the Kindle and the Nook tablet. Finally yesterday I decided on the Fire. At first I thought I would buy both and try them out. Then I just bought the Kindle. This morning I was trying to get my books but couldn’t. I called Amazon. They told me I had two accounts. I asked them to combine them but they said they couldn’t. I was so frustrated so tomorrow I will return the Kindle and stick with my old one. That’s it. I am really not going to shop for awhile.
We played bridge tonight. One of the couples wanted to watch DANCING WITH THE STARS since it’s the last show so we finished early. I really don’t know what the attraction is. I don’t know any program I would quit a game early for.
Nothing planned for tomorrow. We are going to friends for supper. Last winter the woman said she makes the best rack of lamb. I am nervous as usually when someone brags about something I end up NOT liking it. OY!
Last night we went to see WATER FOR ELEPHANTS. It was playing at our clubhouse for free. I had read the book a few years ago. It was pretty good.
So I guess I’ll close and maybe read some of your entries. Take care.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ONE AND ALL!!!!!!!!

hope you are able to get to sleep soon—i’m having a sleepless night myself! I would never say anything about making the best of something because it sets it up for being awful, but to each their own. Don’t think i’ll ever get a Nook or Kindle, i like the feel and smell of a book too much.

I always think that, too…. who’s going to look at the back?? But women like those, if someone GAVE them a needlework picture, even if it was in a frame, they would probably take it out just so they could look at the back! (They’re the same women who turn over a greeting card they receive to see if it’s a Hallmark, or how much it cost…heh….) Women just go crazy over Dancing with the Stars. I don’t get it. But then, our favorite show is “The Big Bang Theory” and we never want to miss it either. hugs, Nicky

Happy thanksgiving! You get to celebrate twice! 🙂 Remotes confuse and frustrate me too. That’s great you ordered the rice bowls. You’ll enjoy it!

I’ve never shopped on Black Friday but I work for a mall so I can’t exactly ignore it.

Have been pondering the Nook VS the Kindle myself – haven’t made a decision yet.

Glad to know about the movie Water for Elephants – I just read the book last year and am curious if the movie follows it. Have a good weekend!

i need to read water for elephants. i don’t have the patience to do needlework. i love my original nook. all i want it for is to read books on. don’t need the games, internet and magazines on the other more advanced ones. take care,

Yes, eating something someone brags about is dangerous, isn’t it? I hope the rack of lamb was as tasty as she thought it would be!

Happy Thanksgiving:)

From what I understand you can use the Kindle to download from many sources and with the Nook you can only use Barnes and Nobel. Two ladies I work with have the Kindle.
