I have friends that are daily readers, for the most part these friends have a totally different circle of friends they associate with than what I have. When we are together we just don't have much enjoyable to talk about.
A day in a busy life!
After a long day at work I shut off the lights, turn on the alarm, lock the door and make my way to the car. Its dark and besides one other car mine is the only one in the lot. I get in and start it up, wait for it to warm a little before I go. The parking lot at work is empty but once I get out on the road I see everyone else is definitely not at home, I'm barely out of the lot when I'm waiting for the second flow of cars to get through the light this time so I can actually start making my way home.
Traffic is bad tonight, probably because winter is here and the roads were sanded by the city because of the threat of incoming snow. You get that sand and very small rock smacked up against your windshield if you don't keep a good distance from the car in front of you.
My wife calls as I'm trying to slow down to get out of the spray of rocks hitting my car and not being rear ended at the same time. "Can you pick up some milk on the way home?" "Oh and the kids would like some of those toaster things you bought last time." Yes Dear!
Home is just a few streets away now, all I can think of is having dinner, taking care of that leaking sink my wife has been calling me about all day, and going to bed early. "Hi I'm home", Shelly says the toilet in the main bath is plugged up, can you take a look at it? My wife is at the dinning room table with Sam, looks like they are working on his math homework again.
Toilet works again and I'm cleaned up, my shoes are off and I'm thinking about my noisy stomach that's telling me its time for dinner. "Hey we are going to be awhile here with this math homework, can you make dinner?"
Yes Dear! An hour later we are all sitting down to dinner, kids are complaining about their homework, although I'm not really there, I just want to go to bed. "You need to take Shelly to the Mall to get a new coat, her coat was taken at school today and she needs a new one for tomorrow, its going to be very cold.
Time spent with the kids one on one, like when we are going to the store or something like that isn't really that bad. I enjoy the time talking with the kids like that but "You need to be more careful about losing things, we are not made of money you know!" Got to stay in parental mode until I can crawl into my warm bed for the night.
Its a little after 10pm now and the kids are both in bed, I'm ready for bed as well. "I lost my hair brush between the seats in the car today and I'm going to need it for the kids first thing in the morning, can you get it out tonight before you go to bed?"
Yes Dear! Its now 11pm and nothing is going to stop me now. "I'm going to bed". I'll be in when I finish fixing Shelly's pants.
I get ready for bed and slide in between the covers and reach up to set the alarm, there's the Amazon Kindle that I borrowed from my wife's brother the school teacher, I bought a book for it last night and forgot about it. Last night wasn't much different than tonight except the kids were in bed earlier and I hit the Kindle ebook reader a little earlier.
Night light is on, I"m comfy in bed reading my new ebook on the Kindle ebook reader I borrowed from my brother in law. Having a ebook reader makes me feel like I'm hi-tech or part of the "in" crowd. I do kinda feel that way but for years since I got out of school I've always wanted to be a more active reader. Reading is good for you! Its keeps your mind active which in turn keeps you more active.
I had to buy my own Kindle because My wife's brother wanted his back, but My Amazon Kindle 2 ebook reader is for sure the best thing I've bought in years. I love reading with it! Reading has become an almost daily thing for me, if I want a new book I don't even have to get out of bed. I browse through Amazon's book store with my Kindle, wirelessly, pick my new book and in less than 60 seconds its on my screen!
My wife likes to steal my Kindle and read her stuff, and once in a while I'll let the kids use it. I love my Kindle ebook reader and probably will end up buying them for the rest of the family. No cords to hook up to anything and never a bill for the wireless service that comes with the Kindle. Internet browsing, check email, whatever you want to do online with your Kindle is free. Free Internet with Kindle!!
This article got a little off track, the point I was trying to make is, even with a busy life style like I have the Portable ebook reader has changed my life for the better.
I love to read now, and getting a new book is cheap and only takes a minute. I can get a new book while laying in bed. I feel sharper and more intelligent, reading I believe has got my brain juices flowing again and I feel good about it.
