Patience is not my strong suit, to say the least but I must practice it right now. For Christmas this year, my husband has gotten me an Amazon Kindle. It is what I wanted and I did hint rather strongly (pretty much sent him 2 articles a week about the wonders of the Kindle). Kindle is a hot commodity right now. They are sold out following their endorsement of Oprah earlier this year. In addition, Amazon is evidently preparing to release Kindle 2 and speculation is rampant that they are not shipping any Kindles until the 2 is released in February. But, Amazon isn’t saying anything and it’s really all just speculation. But, speculating helps pass the time.
So, what am I doing while I’m waiting? There are things to do while waiting for your new Kindle.
- cancel all the “pre-order” book orders I’ve placed on Amazon for my favorite books
- add those “pre-order” books to my wishlist in the Kindle versions (when I can)
- read blogs about Kindle such as thekindle.wordpress.com
- window-shop for pink goodies to go with my Kindle
- window-shop for pink decals for my Kindle
- update my wishlist on Amazon for books that I want to have on my Kindle
- think about accessories that I need for my Kindle like a book light, car charger, screen protector, and the like.
These things pass the time but, oh my, it’s a still hard to wait. Sigh. Poor me.

Sweet Liza!!!! I can’t *wait* to hear how you like it!
Oh, such a tantalizing post! I can’t wait to hear how you like the Kindle. Hope the time passes quickly!

Squealing for you Liza! Yea! Can’t wait to hear about your experience with the Kindle. Anticipation song cued….
I don’t know if this will help, but I’m betting you’ll get your Christmas present before I get mine! My painting isn’t scheduled to be delivered until October 09. It’s been promised to a few exhibits and must be “shown” before it can be shipped to me. So, I wait with you. 😀 It’s worth it, right? 😀
YES! Me too. I didn’t hint–my husband said that’s what he wanted to get me. . .if it was OK by me.
Me? I said–sure, if you really want to.
Anyway, just getting used to it. I welcome any hints.
