Ecstatic...

To say I'm ecstatic would probably be an understatement.  I have been working a friend's laptop and their kids' iPods, getting everything in sync.  The laptop was running out of room to be able to download all of their movies and music from iTunes, so I pulled a new hard drive I had laying around out and installed it in their laptop.  I had let her know what I had to do (I was not worried about payment). Her reply was, "Do I have to take out a loan? Lol" to which I said, "Nah, just a second mortgage. Just kidding." 

When I thought that I was almost finished I took a picture of the two iPods syncing up with the laptop and sent a picture message saying "Making progress finally..."  Her reply was "I hope so I can't wait to give your payment!"  When I see a message like that, I always tend to get worried...because with our group of people you just never know what your "payment" or "present" might be.  Every once in awhile gag gifts tend to surface.  This time, though, there wasn't a gag gift...it was an AMAZON KINDLE!... That is where the "ecstatic" part comes into play! 

We had been talking about the Kindles.  Me and Dad had bought Mom one for Christmas.  I had been reading books with the Kindle app on my iPad.  I had mentioned that I would like to buy one of the basic Kindles because they are more portable that the iPad (and also the battery life is better as well. 

It didn't take long after I came home to get my new Kindle out and have it set up!

(It even has a neat packaging...)

(Starting the Kindle up for the first time...)

(Had the Kindle gave to me Friday night and had a case bought for it by noon on Saturday...)

(This case was a pain in the a** to get on.  I have a feeling the Kindle won't just fall right out of the case...)

It's friends that treat you better than your family...and family that treat their friends better than their family.  My night was made tonight...I was referred to as "a good heart" as the text message said. It's things like that, that make me do the things I do!
