It is good to be queen!

Today's my birthday! It's been awesome!

It started with my husband making me super awesome crepes with homemade whipped cream. I picked the cinnamon, sugar, and butter kind. Yummmm! Then I played some Wii boxing and ran around the block a few times to get ready for lunch. Before lunch, though, I got to open my presents. I got some cool stuff (an exercise ball, an immersion blender that matches my other red Kitchenaid stuff, and a really cute pink t-shirt that says "Word Nerd" in Scrabble tiles.

And then...I got the coolest.gift.ever.

A Sony eBook reader!

Whoohoo!

It's like a Kindle except for better. My husband jokes that it's really a gift for him because he was tired of bringing an extra suitcase for my books (that's not an exaggeration, sadly) on vacation with us. It's really hard to explain how it looks but it's a little smaller than the size of a trade paperback and much thinner. The screen looks pretty much like reading a regular paper page. Easy on the eyes. So cool. And the e-books are cheaper than regular hardbacks or even paperbacks. And I already have fifty books for FREE because Sony has this public domain thing going on, but the upshot is that I have tons of classics like the complete works of Shakespeare, Wuthering Heights, Huckleberry Finn, etc. all loaded on and ready to go. And a big old fat juicy gift certificate in case I want new titles. And the battery will hold a charge for a month! Whoo!

If you're wondering what YOU can get me for my birthday....hmmm.

Ooh, I know. A comment! And if you haven't clicked to follow my blog (and you're not Alison Wonderland or anyone else constitutionally opposed to doing so which is completely okay), maybe you could do that, too. That would be nice!

Merry Birthaversary!
