I haven’t swiped a book but I did tap the edge of the page to turn the page over and then sat there wondering why the next page hadn’t come up!

I hadn’t really thought about the possibilities of the e-book before – now I want MORE from my e-book!! I’ve sent the knitting exercises link to a friend who knits a lot and has pain problems sometimes, I think she’ll appreciate them.
But, poor you….thundersnow. That shouldn’t be allowed!
You’re right, Chaos, that is just annoying! ick

Maybe it’s just the hockey fics speaking, but how *awesome* would it be if hockey players were the first professional athletes to come out? Also, can we vote on which ones we want to be the ones to do it?
Another great linkity. Oh that condom sling shot!! I saw that on twitter yesterday and thought it was great! I’m featuring it on our Random Friday post later today LOL.

I too am tired of snow, thunder snow, and cold. I believe it is time for the sun & some warm weather around here… and a tulip or two for good measure.
A recent post from cursingmama..Snow, Thunder and Lightning. Awesome commute! She says sarcastically.
Lol, I love those signs

I love the idea of a little free library 🙂

Poor May!
Loved the behind the scenes with Simon the Cat! I’m gonna show that to Kidlet – she’s into drawing and loves Simon the Cat cartoons. I have a feeling there will be a lot of Simon the Cat kitty drawings on my fridge in the near future.

Thundersnow = thunder + snow I’m guessing?
YAH for hockeyfics!
No. You are definitely not the only one who thinks about what direction the sun will be coming from when selecting a plane seat.

It’s a proven fact: kittens make your head go splode.
