On Thursday I went to a trade show. When I walked in, they gave me a card and said that if I visited all the booths and had them sign it, I could enter for the draw.
I stayed for most of the show because there were actually a lot of booths I wanted to see. Close to the end, they announced that there was only 20 more minutes to get your card in for the draw so everyone, everyone was rushing around getting their cards signed.
Including me.
I know the guy who drew my name so he looked right at me when he called it out. My immediate reaction: took a step backwards, did a double-take and barked out "As. If."
He had to say over the microphone "No, Jen seriously it's you! Come up here!!" On my way out of the hotel people were congratulating me left right and centre. I felt truly awesome because I had actually made a huge effort at the trade show and met lots of great people.
On the drive home I was like that woman in the Ikea commercial.
This thing is amazing. The first thing I put on it was Tiny Wings. But then last night I woke up a few times thinking of ways I could use it:
On job sites - rather than struggling with a pad and paper and camera....
Paying bills - no more random bits of paper with numbers scribbled and added up then left all over the place to make Brad growl.
I know I'm just barely grazing the surface here. I'm prepared though. I bought this last night:
I still can't really believe I can utter the words "My iPad."

Congrats! That's so awesome! I hope you and your iPad have many happy times together!
YAY! I love the photo and I'm so excited for you. I wish I could have been there to see you win it!
You'll have to bring it when you visit me - which we should figure out when that will be! Sometime in December? Do you have a free weekend?
PS I love the case you bought!
SWEET!!
That's awesome - I'm sure you're going to love it. I do so much with mine I'd find it a difficult adjustment to go without...
PS. Angry Birds on the iPad - giant fun.
This must be a secret reward for completing your Shopping Diet successfully-- bring on the free stuff! :)
What a cool thing to win!
Thanks guys! I am already feeling how it's going to become a big part of how I function.
Congrats!!! Had no idea you just recently WON your new iPad!! It's by far the best device out there, i never leave home without mine! Enjoy...enjoy...enjoy!! ;)

nL.
Exciting!!! :) I love that you woke up throughout the night thinking about how you could use it haha. And that case is so cute!
OK. You've had some time now. Do you still love it like crazy? Like love it so much that I need to get one?? I was thinking about getting the iPod Touch and then I was like...why don't I just get the iPad???
I need an update.
Nilesh - I don't often leave the house without mine either. It's been two weeks and I'm pretty sure this will be a permanent fixture in how I organize myself. I get compliments ALL THE TIME on my case....
EMD - see above! Nilesh made my case!
Claire - yeah, if you want to surf the net and email, I would get an iPad. Music and a LITTLE bit of surfing, the itouch is good. Although I won't use my iPad for music much... can you imagine going for a jog and taking an iPad for music?! Don't get me started on the books.....
hahaha! that ikea lady bugs me, but it fully articulates that feeling of O-M-G
congrats again
