Have you heard of Kindle?

I almost forgot to tell you! This was my birthday present from my kids and hubby, its a Kindle and you can download any book on this. I love to read and drag them all to Barnes and Noble, (they dislike going to the bookstore....alot) all the time, so,.... they decided it would be great if I could just load books on this and never have to go to the bookstore again. I am trying to figure it out and you know how techie I am, but I am so excited! I have loaded about 3 books already....,gee I guess I will read today by the pool!! Thanks hubby and kids you are the BEST!!!!

Sweet Ride!!!











Okay, so last year I begged my family for this bike for Mothers Day, I swore that I was going to ride it everyday to and from the shop (which I might add is about a mile or so from my house). Well.....they brought it to the shop and it sat in my classroom for about a month or so and I finally rode it home....I laughed at myself all the way home. I felt kind of silly and probably looked even sillier. So starting June 1 I have vowed to my family once again I will pedal my chubby butt to and from the shop! So, if you see me honk and wave....., I probably won't be able to wave back in case I wreck but I will ring my bell at you! (you have to admit that is one cute bike!) Notice I am giving myself a few days till I take my pedal vow serious.




Pedal faster!!!
