O.K. I'm not a happy camper.
I have a Kindle and while I love, love, love it I'm a little upset with Amazon.
Apparently there is a price war going on and as a result some of the publishers are not allowing Kindle editions of books.
Which means books I've been waiting for on Kindle are not going to be on Kindle.
And since I live in the Middle East I either have to pay double for the paperback or I can't get the book at all.
Which really sucks.
Especially since I like to read racey novels....
Ones you definitely can't get over here.
He, he, he!
I do love my erotica.
It's a font of knowledge and new things to try!
Hmmmmm.......where is my husband......

I'm a bad, bad, girl...
I'm not writing as much as I was before my vacation.
I think I'm still coasting on my vacation high...
That's how good my vacation was - I'm still feeling the benefit.
btw - Thailand has excellent coffee.
I had a ice Thai coffee everyday I was there - sometimes twice a day.
The vendors on the street use sweetened condensed milk in the coffee so it no longer tastes like coffee but some kind of sweet candy drink.
The hotel made it more like I like it - strong and not sweet.
Bliss....

Can you believe it?
I cannot accept that people actually believe these things...
1. Apparently the televangelist Pat Robertson believes that the earthquake in Haiti was caused because of a pact Haitians made with the devil in order to throw off French rule in the 18th century.
He actually said that - out loud - and they didn't commit him to a sanitarium somewhere. Clearly he's not dealing in reality.
2. A religious leader in Iran, Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi, says women and girls who "don't dress appropriately" spread "promiscuity in society."
Hmmm o.k.
And we all know what happens when a woman is promiscuous...
"When promiscuity spreads, earthquakes increase," he says in a video posted Monday on YouTube, apparently of him leading Friday prayers in Tehran, Iran, last week.
These two need to be committed together - either for severe mental illness or drug addiction.
Take your pick.
Here's the article:
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/04/20/iran.promiscuity.earthquakes/index.html?eref=rss_world&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_world+%28RSS%3A+World%29&utm_content=My+Yahoo
Why does the press publish these things? To show how stupid people are?

Help me to understand...
This article:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100421/ap_on_re_us/us_day_of_prayer_military
Why in is an evangelist speaking at the Pentagon?
Really?!
Really.
Separation of Church and State - does anyone remember this?
This article is concerned about the fact this guy (Billy Graham's son no less) insulted Muslims.
When they really should be freaking out about the fact this guy was even invited to speak at the Pentagon!
STOP MIXING RELIGION WITH POLITICS!
People act crazy when you start mixing religion with politics - every religion thinks there's is the "right" one. And when you start mixing that with politics you get religious politicians trying to shove their "morals" and "values" down everyone else's throat.
For example - Bush removing all funding to clinics who offer abortion, and removing funding to schools who teach any form of birth control other than abstinence. It's all fine and well if you don't believe in abortion or birth control - but don't shove your beliefs onto me.
I do believe in a woman's right to choose and I do believe in educating teenagers on birth control.
If you don't you should be able to opt your children out of that type of education but you shouldn't be able to opt my children out. The same goes with the right to choose - if you want to make that decision for yourself fine - but don't presume to make decisions regarding my life and my body for me.
Religion and politics is a slippery slope - someone on their high and mighty horse trying to force what they think is right on the masses is just a dictatorship waiting to happen.

Vacation - How sweet it is...
I have to say if you have a chance to go to Thailand GO!
We had the most incredible time.
The people were so nice,
The accommodation was beautiful,
And the food was fantastic!
This is where we stayed:
http://www.santiburi.com/bophut_resort/
We booked a villa with its own pool.
And man was that a good idea! We didn't get into the main pool once, and we didn't swim in the ocean either. But we did dip our feet into the water when we walked down the beach.
Having your own private pool is the height of decadence.
Seriously.
This was one of the best vacations we've ever had - it was so relaxing.
We just chilled out.
But we did do a few things - one day we did an Island Tour and had a look at the big Buddha.
And they weren't kidding when they said big - the thing was Giganormous!
We also went to an animal park and saw the snake show.
Well actually my husband watched it, I walked in saw the guy messing with the uncontained snakes, then I walked out.
I'm not down with teasing a snake that isn't in any kind of containment. The guy and the snakes were seriously in a circle which had about a 1 foot wall around it.
And that was it.
Really?!
I can tell you without a shadow of doubt, I don't have any sort of wish to be bitten by a king cobra.
Really.
Then we did some zip lining in the tree tops - that was so much fun we almost did it again.
And we road an elephant. My husband liked that more than me - it depressed me.
I'm not a fan of animal parks and such. I know they have their place and purpose - I just don't like them.
I feel sad for the animals.
We got back yesterday morning about 2am - talk about a shocker - I had to get up and go to work at 7am.
I miss my vacation.
Boo hooo!

I had such a wonderful time and now I'm back at work.
I need to adjust...then I'll write.
