Two months gone

Wow. I hadn't realized how long it's been since I've updated things. Had a birthday. Got a great birthday present. Apparently, the way to get a great present is to give a birthday list to your spouse, and then go out of town. They get lonely, and buy you the high dollar items on the list. :D

Which is how I got a Kindle. I love love love it. I've downloaded several books, and have already finished 3. I'm such a reader. It's one of my addictions. This way, I can keep the addiction under wraps, to some extent. My spouse won't see a buildup of books around the house. It will be great when I go on travel. Less books to carry. If I was gone a week, I'd routinely bring 5-6 books. I'd usually finish 1 or 2 of them on the plane ride (each way). It will be a nice thing to have.

My only complaint about it is that, when people want to look at it, they invariably turn a 'page' when I pass it over. No worries, though. I always set a bookmark before I give it to them.

I've gained some weight over the past several years. I had lost 70 pounds and kept it off for a year. Later on, my son was diagnosed autistic and we were stressed out in a big way. I started putting weight back on, and just gave up trying to keep it off. So, I gained that 70 back, plus 10 more. I'm taking it back off again. I'm 24 pounds down, as of this morning. So yay for me.
