Nooks Rule!

Yea, I have my camera!  It's wonderful.  I think I could photograph a pimple on a bugs butt if I wanted to. However there probably isn't a market for such a subject.  It gets sooooo up close, it's amazing.  In the next few weeks the cats will be blinded by the flashes and running into the furniture and each other.

So what is everyone wanting for Christmas?  I want a couple of books for my Nook e-reader.  I love my Nook.  It's so light it doesn't hurt my hands like a book (even paperback) does.  I can even get on the net with it and it's only the first generation one.  I want one of the Nook Tablets next.  That's my dream e-reader now.  The books don't cost as much for the e-reader either.  Most of my books are between $5.00 and $12.99.  The $12.99 is for the mainstream novels that have just been released.  My favorite book of the year I think was "The Help".  It made me laugh, cry and cheer.  It was a wonderful book. I bought the movie  this week and watched it too.  The book was just a little bit better because some of the stuff was left out of the movie and only implied.  Another pretty good book was "Heaven Is Real".  It's a real account of a child that goes to Heaven.  It was impressive the way it was written.

I'm going to take care of decorating the house this weekend or die trying!  It's just that I keep thinking you only have about three weeks and you will be putting it away again.  Ugh!  I don't find that thought to empowering in any way.

The cats are being pretty good about not investigating the snowmen that I have already put out.  Most of them would be shattered if they hit the floor.  I picked up about twenty new snowmen on a Freecycle list.  For those of you that don't know what that is...it's a e-mail list of things, that people want to get rid of but are still in good shape and usable.  It's a Yahoo group and is limited to an area where you live.

Time to slip into my night-night clothes, grab my nook and hit the sheets.

Good Night From Muttzncatz's Place

Snow?

I love the snow.  For days now the local weather people have been talking about a storm that's on the way.  Now tonight they are saying it's not going to be a storm just a short event. grrrrrr!  I absolutely love to watch it snow.  So much for that I guess.  The cats are in awe when those fluffy flakes start to fall.   It's almost as big a sport as watching squirrel tales and birdie toes on the deck.  Maybe I should get my fur children some fish.  I'll bet most of them would be thrilled to fish tails to watch too.  I would have to put some sort of mesh over the top of the tank to keep them from fishing.

I'm learning to use my E-Reader more each day. The Nook is fantastic.  It has a dictionary, shows you color book covers and you can purchase a book from anywhere there is a strong cell phone signal or if you have a wifi connection.  The only drawback is that you can't always buy books before they are released like you can with a hardbound book.  I would love to purchase the new Diane Mott Davidson ,"Crunch Time" novel that is coming out April 4th....... but there is no sign of it yet in Nook format.  I had to go to Barnes and Noble to download an update for it because I can't get my password right on my wifi connection.
Apparently you can only download if you are on a wifi connection not a cell phone one.

Santa's put away, time to look forward to Valentines day.  What am I saying?  I get nothing for Valentines day.  It would be wonderful to be in love again......maybe I'm too old and wrinkled.  When I look in the mirror I see my grand mother....Oh-my-God!  I look like an old Native American.  I'm not sure if I was my husband that I would get me a bouquet of flowers either.  I'll quit with the boo hooing now.

Oh hey.......I should try a snow dance!
