My Secret Crush

| Revealed: My Secret Crush |
I think that J. knows that something is up. We went out on a date a few weeks back and J. actually got mad that I insisted on us taking the minivan! I'm not really sure why, but it's a mistake I haven't repeated since (much to my dismay). Anyway, I find myself looking forward to our next family vacation when I get to spend some more quality time with my secret crush! =o)
I'm Just Not That Into You...
Now that I've revealed my secret crush, I have to reveal what I'm not crushing on these days:
 |
| Yes, I know I'm committing heresy...especially to anyone from Silicon Valley... |
I was also excited because I've heard from attorneys who swear that the iPad is changing the way that people practice law. That may be true, but I just don't get it.
I can't multi-task and I have no idea how to word process or edit my documents easily on this device. I admit that it has some way-cool apps. My kids love a game app called "Cut the Rope". It seems really cool, but I have to wonder if my kids are learning anything. Sadly, I probably use it most to play "Ms. Pacman".

| Who Knew I'd Enjoy Playing This Classic Video Game on Today's Coolest New Gadget? |
Yes, it's probably a waste to use my iPad to play 30 year old video games, but J. seems to love it and so do the kids. It's amazing to watch my three year old daughter (E.) figure out how to do stuff on there.
Apparently she loves to take pictures of herself. Here is one that J. and I both liked:
I think it's pretty artsy and a lot of fun. (How did she manage to do this at age 3??)

| "E. -- A Self Portrait" |
Oh E's self portrait is wonderful and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have an ipad for one of my jobs and so far I have used it twice... I am clueless.
This is very funny. Who knew minivans were so darn loveable?
ReplyDeleteElizabeth--thanks for your kind words about E.'s self-portrait. Neither my wife or I helped her with that...we just looked on the iPad and it was there. How many jobs do you have?? I used to joke that I had five "paying" ones...these days I'm glad to have retired from several of those!
ReplyDeleteEm--Just wait until you drive one! J. used to make fun of minivans and she pretty much hated our old one. In her defense, it had gotten pretty old! Anyway, she's a convert now and I think Hondas are the best of the bunch. Hopefully, Chuche will surprise you with one.
Greg, you already know I love he minivan. It is the most comfortable ride out there...leather, heated seats...what's not to love? I agree with you on the iPad...I can't blog or do anything on mine that requires moving stuff around...I have to have a mouse...but I love mine for reading blogs and Internet shopping!
ReplyDeleteAnd E Is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou know that your minivan was my inspiration at the family reunion in July and we ended up getting one in September. :) Also - you need to try some other games - Fruit Ninja is pretty fun for all ages and it has multiplayer so you can play against the kids. :) We also have some education stuff to help Aliya learn her letters and reading. We also love that we can now facetime our family members with iPhones and other iPads. In fact, my dad finally got hip enough with his phone and we love to call Grandpa and see his face.
ReplyDeleteI always get hooked with minivans! I like the space it provides though it has a compact dimension. It’s easy to handle and has better gas mileage than a big SUVs. These days, minivans are pretty good-looking than sedan.
