Remember my wish list?

My mama got me a Kindle for Christmas. As soon as she told me I was getting a "surprise gift" because I didn't ask for much, I suspected that she was getting me one. I'm actually still a little surprised though, because I barely said anything about it. She is a smart cookie though. I told her Ben wanted a shotgun scabbard, and she knew exactly where to find one and got him one he loves. He actually walks around the apartment with it on. It's kind of adorable. Anyway, about the Kindle...I haven't even had to buy a single book for it yet, because so many are in the public domain that I want to read, which means I can get them for F-R-E-E. Love it. I also got an ESV Bible for free! So excited about that. And it's really not expensive to buy books for it, as far as I've seen. HOWEVER, I am very surprised to find that I can't even BUY Daphne Du Maurier books for it. They just aren't available in Kindle format for some reason. So I guess I will still have to buy a paper copy of Rebecca. But I might get it from this awesome website! It's like a Half Priced Books online! And free shipping! Marvelous.

wish list.

so my mom always asks me what I want for christmas, and I pretty much never have an answer. and this year...well, i still really didn't have an answer. but there are some things I want. they are just too expensive or to complicated to have someone else buy for me. i really don't get caught up in all the commercialism that goes along with christmas these days. this is just for fun. anyway on my wish list:

Books - I still need quite a few of my doula books. I suppose I could of sent a list of them to my mom, but it just seemed like hassle.

New glasses - I really want new ones. Mine are starting to slide down my nose when I look down, and I can't stand that. I pretty much just want to get some from zenni optical. If you wear glasses and haven't been to that site, check it out. You can get glasses for super cheap. And it's a legitimate site. I've ordered from them before.

A Kindle - now, I originally thought these were lame. But when I realized you can download books in the public domain for free, I immediately saw the Kindle's potential for awesomeness and usefulness in my life.

So that's my little wish list. The first two I will get eventually, when we have a little money to spare. The third one is just one of those, "it would be kind of neat to have this."
