Kindle Fire HD

Ok, ask me.  Ask me how excited I am.  Thanks to all my family and friends, I am now the proud owner of a new Kindle Fire HD.  Yippiekiay!  Remember a few weeks ago when I asked (pleaded/begged) for your vote on my turkey picture that I had entered in a photo contest sponsored by ATC Communications?  Well, when I walked in the door from work on Thursday, my husband said, “it looks like we have a message on the answering machine”.  When I pushed the button it stated that the person was Katie from ATC and would like us to give her a call.  It was past their working hours so I decided I would just call them in the morning.  I thought the call was about a phone bill they had billed us for that I had paid recently (I had the return check) but was not showing up on my statement.  What a surprise it was to have them tell me that I was the winner of the photo contest and had won the new Kindle Fire HD.  Talk about excited! Didn’t take long and I was headed to Arco, Idaho to pick up my Kindle.  They told me that I had won by a landslide and the closest one to me was at least 100 votes under mine.  When I got back home, I spent a few hours getting it connected to Wi-Fi and just playing around with it.  Pretty cool little invention.  I think I am going to really enjoy it!  It does everything….it’s like having a little miniature computer in my hands.  Ahh-h-h-h!  Yes, before you ask, I was playing around with it at 1:30am this morning.
