When owning a Kindle comes in handy

Are you getting sick of hearing about my love for all things Kindle?  No?  Good.  Because I'm not in the least bit tired of extolling its virtues.  In fact, 2 weeks ago, I may have been overheard saying to the ultimate bff, "Next to you, my Kindle and new smart phone are my bffs."  She was relieved to hear that she at least ranked in the top three.

Yesterday, I happened to be having an instant messenger conversation with the Evil Genius. I told her that I was getting my hair colored that night and was taking my Kindle along to keep myself entertained while the color processed. 

We then started compiling a list of all the times a Kindle would come in handy.  So, without further adieu, I present "the list":

1. At a hair salon while waiting for your color to process.
2. While waiting for an oil change/car repairs.
3. While waiting at an airport for your flight.
4. Reading on a really long flight.
5. Waiting at a doctor's office.
6. Watiting in line at the DMV.
7. Waiting in ANY line.
8. A long road trip - some of the books are voice over enabled, so it can read to you.
9. If you've been kidnapped and taken to any kind of sporting event.  (It's either the Kindle or people watching.)
10. At church.  (You can get the Book of Mormon and the Bible for it.)
11. On a REALLY bad blind date.  (This would be a hint to the date that he was super boring.)
12. Anytime you want to be anti-social.
13. Bad family parties.
14. Eavesdropping.  (You can just pretend to be reading your Kindle.)
15. As a conversation starter.
16. During a fire alarm at work while you're hanging out in the parking lot waiting for the "all clear".
17. During a power outtage.

And, my personal favorite:

18.     If you happen to be dragged kicking and screaming to the hell that is known as camping.

I hope you've enjoyed the list.  Please, feel free to add to it.
