Just in time for my Birthday :)

The rumors that started yesterday about Apple holding an iPad 2 event on March 2nd are true.  This morning Apple sent out invites to ”come see what 2011 will be the year of”


So, What I'm Thinking Thursday is that this little release has come just in time for my birthday (hint...hint...my oh so beautiful, caring, and thoughtful mother and of course my awesome, strong, admirable daddy :) So yes, in my 25 years of being an only child, I've learned sucking up can work :) I shall let you all know if I have these oh so great parents I think I do :) OKay, so yes no matter what I'm going to invest in this baby whether I happen to get it as a gift from someone or if it is a gift to myself, I WANT ONE! 


I use to be the person who thought a mp3 player was the same thing as an iPod (gasp... I know right, scary?) then I got my MacBook Pro and well... I'm pretty sure Apple has brainwashed me. I won't ever own another brand of computer but a Mac. Yes, I really do believe they are that much better. THey make my job easier and so much more fun to do projects on! And honestly, what high school student doesn't have an iPod. iPhone, iPad, or wants one? ALL of them! Needless to say, I've turned into a huge apple advocate (I think they should pay me, seriously). Anyhow, back to my point - this would be the rambling I warned about - I specifically stayed away from the iPad because I knew that I would want one. I had not even picked one up to play with (all those times in the apple store, I just walked on by) and then my coworker/great friend had to go and buy one! Well it was over then. Once I played with it... the jealousy sank in and I had to fight the urge to go get one then. So I figured I'd be okay without one for a little while. Wrong!  The next week went to a technology convention. Well, just guess what vendor was there? Apple of course. I took a 2 hour class on the iPad and how to use them in the classrooms / teaching and it was over from there. So here I am two weeks later overjoyed because holding out for this iPad2 was getting tough!


Well that is all for Lisa Lately ;)
