Where has the time gone?

Wow! I can't believe it's been more than three and a half months since I've posted anything on my blog. That's nearly unheard of (for me anyway). And there's been so much happening too. Well, not really, but I like to think so since I haven't written anything for months.

I've been busy learning how to use an iPad mini. I bought my husband one for his birthday and I think I've used it more than he has to date. It's so different than using a computer. Everything is apps, apps, apps. Mind you, they are cool. At least you don't have to go through all the hassle of downloading and installing programs to use. All you need to do is 'tap an app'.

And there is an app for almost everything you can think of. I can't believe how many apps there are to choose from in each category too. Unbelievable. And this iPad mini has a great front and back camera with fantastic video capabilities. The video is clear and crisp, almost as good as my $500 digital camera.

I'm so thrilled with this device, I think I might buy myself one too. I still have a (first generation) iPod Touch. They don't even make apps for this device any longer. There isn't any tech support for it either. And to think the actual screen on that iPod Touch has never been touched. It's always had a plastic cover on it from day one. Might as well remove it now, I guess. Right?

Funny how these devices are constantly evolving. More features, more apps... The list goes on. And unfortunately for us 'go-to-have-the-next-new-thing-a-ma-giggy,' it's a rather costly one. We just have to have the next new gadget out there. Weird.

Anyhow, I did find something cool on my Facebook feed a couple days ago. It was a joke that contained my name. I couldn't resist picking it up to post here since the joke contains my name, and is actually funny. Here it is:

SYLVIA: Hi, Wanda.

WANDA: Hi, Sylvia. How'd you die?

SYLVIA: I froze to death.

WANDA: How horrible!

SYLVIA: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm and sleepy and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?

WANDA: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.

SYLVIA: So, what happened?

WANDA: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere. Finally, I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.

SYLVIA: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer— we'd both still be alive.

I'll be sure to post again soon. No more of this three month stuff.
