To ignite a fire within me

Almost a year ago, Miata Guy gifted me an e-reader, the Kindle. Yes, the Kindle is great for all the reasons seen on TV commercials, such as being able to store thousands of books, magazines, and newspapers, the lightness of the device, and the glare free screen. However for me, I love my Kindle for the following top three reasons.

3. I can lay in bed reading at night without bothering Miata Guy. The light attached to the hard cover protected sleeve is less bright than a nightstand light but bright enough to illuminate the entire screen. The fact the e-reader slides into the protection cover and uses the battery to power the light is pure engineering brilliance. I can also read comfortably by the campfire. No longer do I have to try to figure out how to hold my book and a flashlight/lantern at the same time. Which leads us directly into the next reason where

2. I no longer have to feel guilty returning library books to the library that smell like campfire.

1. The most important reason I enjoy reading my Kindle vs a book is that I can sit comfortably in my reading chair wearing my fleece pj pants and over sized t-shirt with The Mask lounging happily on my chest. With a book turning the pages while reaching over a 16lb purring beast on your chest proves to be more difficult than one may think. With the Kindle, with the press of my thumb the page is turned.

Peeeaaanutttt Peanut Butter!

Every Day Better and Better

Today marks Miata Guy and I's 4 year anniversary, dating anniversary that is. Because no, we are not married (yet  ; ) ).  Today, 4 years ago, Miata Guy and I both volunteered to collect tickets for our local town's winter symphony performance. After arriving Miata guy worked outside in the snow directing cars while I was warm and cozy inside. The last song performed that night, George Bizet's L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2 Farandole, is one of my absolute favorite pieces from the Romantic Period. (IF Miata Guy decides he loves me enough to ask to me marry him, and IF I decide I love him enough to say yes...... you might just see some nontraditional things at our big party, like a Farandole wedding march. : ) ) After the performance this piece set Miata Guy and I up for a great conversation over dinner and drinks at a local brewery (He ordered for me a chocolate type porter, which was my first non MBC beer (IF we have a big party next year you just might see a homemade beer replica)). The rest of the story is history. Everyday, we find new ways or am reminded why we love each other. I can't wait to see what this next year will bring us!

Hark is that a........

Miata Guy- Hey, Lama Lover do you hear that?

Me- Umm no. But am I going to smell it in a few seconds?

Miata Guy- Oh come on, I didn't fart...... yet that is. But seriously, listen.

Me- Sigh....What am I listening for?

Miata Guy takes me outside, down the driveway to the cul de sac. 

Miata Guy- You gotta hear it now.

Me- ummm the birds? Traffic on the highway? I don't know I give up.

Miata Guy- Those two trucks have been growling at each other all day! Grrrrr Grrr Grrrr

How secure?

I stumbled across this LINK the other day. The website lets you know how secure your password is by how long it would take a desktop pc to crack it.

My most used password could be cracked in only 169 days! Ah!

The password I've been switching to over the past few months would take a desktop PC 1 billion years to crack. That's much better.

The password DON put on our wireless Internet modem thingy...... 29 novemvigintillion years! I didn't even know such a number existed. Guess, noone will be stealing our internet anytime soon. Too bad, the passwords is a bear to type into my kindle.
