A Great Gift

On Black Friday, I went to the Natick Mall just outside Boston with Evan's sister and his nephew and nieces. It's always fun to hang out with them and, as usual, Jesse had me in stitches and the girls and I bonded and laughed. We headed to the Apple store as Jesse was buying a MacBook Pro with some of his Bar Mitzvah money from a few years back. Apple had a rare sale and Evan bought me a combined birthday/Christmas present of an iPad 2. In one of my few spare moments this week, I'm playing with it now, downloading apps and even blogging. While I am not yet used to the keyboard it is a remarkable gadget--and one that will even allow me to take relatively low-res pictures and upload them straight to this blog rather than looking forever for my camera cord. And on that note, I'm going to download the instagram app right now.

omg. natick mall. you really do not want to know how much time i spent there during undergrad. nor at that stop & shop, nor at route 9 wine & spirits (though technically that was framingham). also, totes jealous of your combo present.

oooh, the natick mall. there was once a time when i turned my nose up at this place. i mean, if you grew up going to south coast plaza....

but i did end up spending a lot of time pushing a stroller between neiman marcus and nordstrom, and now i really miss the place!

what a lovely present from evan! i'm still not on the ipad bandwagon, but then again, i may need one to survive our roadtrip to nyc in less than two weeks!
