When Ugg boots came out, I did everything in my power to avoid the “fad.” They may be comfy, but they are “ugg”ly! Well, I now have 3 pairs – brown, black and gray. And yes, they are still not “attractive” persay, but they are amazingly warm and comfortable. I conformed. Crap!

Then, came along the skinny jean. They looked awkward at first, and made your feet look huge! Why would I do such a thing to my feet? Well…all I practically wear now are skinny jeans and they make you look amazing – especially your butt and thighs. Gentlemen – I do not recommend for you, though.

So, then all the eReaders came out, including the Kindle, Nook, iPad, etc. Despite being an internet and social media junkie as well as an avid blogger — I love the idea of having a book in my hand, turning the pages, and actually having the collection of books I’ve read in my apt. And then I was reading The Trilogy of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and when I got to the third book, it was still in hardcover. It was huge! And heavy! I love taking books with me while I’m on the go to read on the subway (the T as we call it in Boston), but that book was like a brick and a half! Suffice to say it took me forever to finish reading b/c I refused to carry it around. And recently I was in nyc with good friends and was interested in The 4 Hour Body – have you seen the size of that monster? Holy crap! That did it! Well I now own a Kindle and an iPad. And I am loving the convenience, the lighter weight on my shoulder, the amount of books I can “carry” at once, and most of the all the price of each of the books. So much cheaper! I still believe I’ll buy some books in paperback for the ones I love and want to keep around, but for regular reading, I believe my Kindle and iPad will be the way to go. And the fact that I can read on either and it keeps track – amazing!

First the Ugg, then the Skinny Jean, now the eReader. I am sold! What next?
