11 days and a wake up

Eden and I are getting ready to roll out to Texas for the month of March! How exciting! I really hope she does well on the flights. I am very interested in seeing how my husband will do without me. I have never been the one doing the leaving. I predict my house will be in shambles, with McDonalds cups everywhere, mounds of Jackson Sand, and skanky Acu's. He has already informed me that he will turn my couch into his command station, and only venture to the second floor for the occasional shower. Lord help me (him). Saint Anthony here we come!

I adore the Kindle. I wound up buying a leather cover for it, as I am clumsy and would be really mad at myself if I dropped my new toy and broke it. It is a festive green, and has a built in reading light. The cool thing is the Kindle actually plugs into the binding and that is what the light is powered off of. I just got finished reading the Stieg Larsson series and really enjoyed it. I have come to the conclusion that I could never live in Sweden due to the ultra liberal government and the weird eating habits. (Cheese and marmalade sandwiches and fish casserole from a 7/11 does not sound like my idea of a good time.) Lisabeth Salander, the main character, is a badass.
My favorite book in the series was the last one. "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest"

Eden is into everything! I was cleaning her bathroom yesterday and i could hear her playing with the door stop. I walked around the corner and she was laying on her belly sucking on it! She is such a little freak. And she's fast! She loves cords and wires, and she loves to stand with her hands planted firmly on the ground in front of her, like a bridge. I love that crazy girl of mine. Speaking of which, she is requiring my attention right now....writing this has deprived her of her Mommy time I suppose! :D Have a fabulous day!

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C. Clarke

I'm getting my Kindle tomorrow! I'm so excited! I admit all of these new fangled contraptions scare the hell out of me, but a kindle is too cool to pass up! With the hours Randy will be working, a Kindle is right up my alley! (Besides my absolute love of reading of course!) A million free book titles, 90 second download time, one month charge life....hello lover!

Speaking of technology, have you seen that creeptastic new coffee pot? It's a robot! Oh no mm mm!
I could just imagine waking up in the middle of the night and having this bad boy holding a knife to my throat asking for my credit card!





My how times have changed. I'm scared to see what they are going to come up with next!
