The heat wave is still with us - 23 days and counting.....

The forecast for the week have us 106 to 103.
I didn't get to go fabric shopping on Thursday.  My one girlfriend was very sick and my other girlfriend and I decided that we couldn't go without her!  GET WELL SOON.  Fabric is calling us...
I have been absent in posting over the weekend.  It's been so hot that I don't feel like doing anything.  Sweetie took me out on Sunday.  He wanted to take me to a casino that I like but he doesn't.  Wasn't that nice of him to think of me!  Anyway, we were there for about 1/2 hour and he hit a jackpot on a slot machine.  He insisted that I take half of his winnings to use as I want. I only took enough to buy something that isn't what I need but what I want.  I bought a Kindle today.  I've been wanting one for quite awhile and have done tons of research on which one that my pocketbook could afford.  I got the Kindle 3G wireless on sale at Best Buy with a $30 gift card included.  The 3G means that it will pick up a wifi signal and I won't have to be in a wireless spot - like Starbucks or McDonalds.  I haven't even had a chance to use it because it seems like Sweetie has taken it over.  I did go on Amazon and got a monthly subscription to the local paper for him.  The Kindle will also read to you.  It has text to speech enabled.  That part is pretty good especially if I get a book with big words in it.  It also has a dictionary that I can look up the words.
I'm currently making a case for it.  Whenever I get it done, I will post a picture.
Catch y'all later

I am anxious to see it. I'm still of the mind that I don't want one but everyone seems to like them so much. I'll decide after I get to play with one.
