I had the iPad already and was very happy with it, not intending to buy the iPad 2.
But my son wanted one so bad, that I gave it to him and bought the iPad 2. I don't see much difference at all, other than the camera I'll probably rarely use, and it is just a bit lighter-weight. Other than that, eh.
The last thing I purchased was French Toast at a local diner yesterday.
With the exception of traveling, the only time I spend my money (besides the neccessities) is for going out to eat. I'm not a material person. And that's a nice problem to have in this economy.
1 1/2 doz bic pens. I wander all over the place with a pen in hand and over the weeks they gradually disappear into my purse, upstairs, in the car...every six months or so I have to restock.
