So I found an "app for that" to use my iPad with our blog. I'd also found a nice application for sending many of this years Christmas cards out on Christmas Eve, gotta love the instant of email!
Overall a really good Christmas, this one of 2010.
I haven't had a lot of extra time to update the blog the last few weeks. It is nice to use the iPad at home and not have to get the laptop or work on the desktop at home so this app will help, even with the on sale price of $2.99.
Stacy's father had gotten all three of us iPads when they came out last April. I don't think I'd call it "magical" as Steve Jobs did at the introduction, but it IS a very, very good device! I agree with the idea that the iPad is a media consumption device more than a creation device, but whatever you'd find you can do with yours, if you have one or when you can get one, it works very well and we really love ours!
With just a couple of programs, one even free, you can get any movie or TV show from a DVD to an iPad/iPod usable video file. Stacy just finished watching the final of 224 episodes of the complete 8 years of a TV series we liked and had gotten all the season sets! Really nice!
We'd had the kids visit in October, I saw Sean on my trip to San Diego and Stacy spent almost a week with him in Hawaii in November. Doing all that at the time strained the piggy bank quite a bit so it was nice for this Holiday to be a little relaxed. Stacy was quite the 'Santa's Helper' and did surprise many of the people we work with with home made stuff.
Stacy was quite the hit with making several "ugly sweaters" after being told about them and making one just to see how it could be done. The finished project was so well liked that she went to the local thrift stores and bought several sweaters to make a few more that she gave as gifts and was told she should make more and start selling them! Maybe for next year.
We had never heard of any Ugly Sweater parties before this year. Apparently very popular!
Many people of the 'extended family' were traveling this Holiday. Relatives here and there all over the country!
Sandy and her husband flew to Texas at midnight Christmas Eve, at least there was no stories of collisions with a sleigh in the news the next day! They're in Texas to spend time with Erik's family.
Sean sent me a text that on Christmas Eve he'd gotten a sunburn at his new home in Hawaii.
And we didn't hear much from Laura so we hope things are well with them too.
My parents are out with brother Mike in Washington for a few weeks. Then he's going to be relocating to Texas for almost a year for his job. The companies expense for the condo and available flights to home and back once a month. On his way back to Texas, he's been already going there off and on for the last few months, it will just be on all the time soon!, he'll be driving back so he's taking them to Arizona along the way.
2011 holds more travel for Stacy starting with a month in Boise for a POST academy she has to take. That and her often monthly flights for County and State meetings are really piling up her air miles.
Till next time! And maybe sooner now too!
