My KitchenAid Mixer arrived. I heard the mail truck pull up in the driveway when I was about to change DS. The kids helped me bring the mail in and I put that beautiful box that said "KitchenAid" on the floor in the foyer first. There may have been jumping and squealing out of one of us.
It's sitting on my counter; just to my right looking ooooooh so pretty!! My DD helped me pull it out of the packaging and she squealed "And it makes POPCORN too!"
I had to look at the other side of the box to see where she got that idea and I still don't know. Funny kid!
Oh don't worry; I have both a kindle and a kindle fire. I use the kindle fire constantly. DH had to get his own kindle! I think the kindle is better for reading on. But since they sync it's not a problem to switch between them. We don't typically buy a lot for ourselves. But they have been worth every penny. All came after our birthdays when we had been given money from family as gifts. It helped with the cost. But they get so much use it has been great for us. I really want to get MIL a kindle for Christmas; the reader kind. I was going to ask SIL if she wanted to go 50/50 with us; but they are sitting on 2 mortgages at the moment so I won't ask. We don't normally do gifts that big; but every once in a while we will for something special like that.
Oooops. He triedAnd it was a nice gift.
Dh has been asking me what I want. I didn't know. When we got back Sunday from Family Holdiay vacation #1 (my family at Thanksgiving- his at Christmas) I checked out the Amazon Cyber Monday deals. Dh likes my Kindle- and said he'd be willing to take that one if I upgraded. It was $50 off the newest Kindle Fire- so I got a Kindle Fire HDXI'm getting it early b/c we aren't going to be here at Christmas. And it's got Skype loaded on it. I have a dear friend I haven't seen in years- she works in China. I facebooked her last night, and she's got Skype on her computer- I think it will be neat to be able to "see' her again
I guess I'm just cheap. I feel guilty spending the money b/c we have so many other things that $200 could go to- and I have a Kindle that works just fine..............
