. . . because in addition to a (known) generous birthday gift yesterday, I got home today to find an Amazon box with a surprise KINDLE in it!!
Seriously - they might drive me slightly crazy for the two weeks a year that I have to spend on the same continent as them (and really, what ILs don't cause a little insanity?) - but I've got to hand it to them in the thoughtful/generosity department. They continually blow me away!
Of course, I also now feel REALLY guilty because when I spoke to FIL on Sunday he asked me about Kindles (he got one for Christmas) and asked if I'd ever get one. I told him I thought they were neat, but I liked the feeling of holding a book in my hands. He agreed but said that the portability aspect was great for his train-rides into London (which is probably the old time the guy sits still for more than 10 minutes!). I didn't exactly poo-poo the Kindle, but I probably didn't show the enthusiasm they were hoping for either. But how was I to know they'd get one for me?!?!
Now that I have one, however, I am SUPER excited!!
