Welcome to iLand!

I'm soooo excited, my iPad was delivered on Friday!  I finally went for it and I'm SO happy I did.  I paid for most of it with my Chase Freedom card.  

Sidenote: If you are looking for a credit card, definitely consider Chase Freedom.  I've had mine for a little over a year and racked up $330 in cash back.  I got $200 back for spending $500 in the first 3 months [which sadly is down to $100 now with Chase's promotion], but come on, $100 for spending money you probably would anyway? Awesome!  Plus they have 5% cash back each quarter which is great.

Moving on, I love my iPad.  I only got an iPad 2 because it was much cheaper than "the new" iPad and I only got the WiFi one because I figured I would be using it at home or work a lot, and when I use it on trips, I will just download the books and games I want before I leave.

That reminds me, I cannot wait to use it when I head to Florida in five days!!

One of the major reasons I bought it was cooking and baking.  Tonight I loved having it in the kitchen while I made Paula Deen's corn fritters.  They were delicious!

They are delicious with a side of maple syrup of dipping.  I know it sounds weird, but it is such a good compliment.

Of course I also bought it for my cat.  How funny is Roxy?  I'm so happy I bought a few Friskies games for her.  Between her and Mike playing cribbage, I think they like it more than I do!

[Pardon the SVU in the background.]

I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving weekend!  I can't wait to share all of the Christmas prep that started this weekend with you!
