I'm a 49 year old!

My sister was visiting this weekend and gave me this vintage-look book cover case for my iPad. I loves it! If you have an iPad you know how slippery they are. I've already dropped mine twice. There are more pics of it over at my Followgram page. Link down in bottom sidebar…

I'm Instagramming it up! That is to say when I'm not playing scrabble on the Words With Friends app on my iPad. I toggle back and forth. And I'm only playing with 2 people so if you want to challenge me to a game of scrabble my WWF name is my full name. I think I can take on about 5-10 more games. If I don't take up the challenge with you it's only because I'm up to my ears in letter tiles.  don't worry.  Unlike Alec Baldwin, if i'm on a plane playing WWF I will cease and desist when asked.  I will not cause a scene.  I will not!
When I come to my senses I have a backload of posts to share involving Dutch ovens, travel journals, cats, and iPad visual journal pages. They're all up in my head. Somewhere.
I was just telling a friend last week, "I don't understand all the INSTAGRAM hoopla. I don't alter my photos. I don't want to alter my photos. I don't want to see anyone else's altered photos. And I don't do social networking."

Big spoon
Filled with words
Put it in my mouth
And eat them.

HAH

  1. Happy Belated Birthday to you~hope you had a good day and celebrated for at least a weed!
    maybe you should check out croatia (no i haven’t been there, just look at pictures from
    there since my grandmother was croatian)

  2. I am laughing so hard! Happy happy Birthday to you, Mary Ann! Love coming here to see what you’ve been up to. I just love it.

  3. Congratulations on 4+9. The big 50 is far better than the younger 40 and so much to look forward to in just another year.
    All the best for all the coming 300+ days.

  4. Well, shame on me for missing your birthday!! Hope you had a great day. You are having WAY too much fun with that iPad–makes me want one in the worst way!! I too am Scrabble-challenged!! I really don’t get it–I always gotten really high mARKS IN SPELLING AND eNGLISH CLASSES (WHOOPS!! not in typing tho’!!) but have never won a scrabble game in my life that I can recall!! Anyways, I am loving your Instagram pics…keep ’em coming!!

  7. Mary Ann,
    I hope you had a lovely 49th birthday!!! And I hope that you will get to accomplish all the things that you put on your 49 List!!

  10. Happy birthday, you puppy, you! I hope it was deliciously happy. In fact, I wish you a birthday season (as we practice birthdays in my family….spreading out the festivities over day or weeks). Birthday Seasons are an invention of my sister-in-law Gwen. I’ve been practicing this for several years now and can HIGHLY recommend them. Celebrate the occasion of your birth for as long as possible! Eat cake! Enjoy a libation! But most importantly, celebrate with friends and enjoy birthday season adventures!

  11. Happy Birthday Mary Ann! Have you made a list for what you’re going to get up to this year? Look forward to it….
    By the way, Santa brought me an ipad! Brilliant! X

  15. tiffany i am SO relieved to hear i am not the only teacher who cant play words worth 2 toots! i am terrible. ha ha ha ha ha ha someone told me i just need practice. i hope she wasnt lying.

  20. Happy Birthday Mary Ann, your still young. My best decade was when I was in my 50’s so hang on you have awhile but getting older is getting better. Your soul doesn’t know years so you will be happy forever, making books and playing with your Ipad.

  22. happy birthday mary ann. when i looked at the picture i thought you were showing us the beginning of a new project, lol. hope you had a good one and glad you sister came to share it with you.

  27. Since you turn one after living a year this is actually the beginning of your 50th year on earth.
    CONGRATS to half a century of blessing this ground and being.
    Lady!!

  32. Happy Birthday, Miss 49! I so wanted one of those covers for my Ipad for Xmas, but Santa didn’t hear and only brought me that *very nice* Keurig Coffee Machine. Awww, but I still want one of those vintage book covers. I went to twelvesouth and rooted around. Now I REALLY want one. Thanx for the reminder.

  33. Happiest of birthdays to you! Sending lots of love your way.
    I don’t have an iPad, nor do I have a uPad or mePad, but I do have a Dutch oven. Whew!

  34. As Dr. Seuss says, “Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you! You are what you are! That’s a great thing to be! So Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday from me!” Wishing you a wonderful year, Mary Ann!

  35. happy birthday mary ann – you are really a good salesman for ipad – they should pay you… i’m thinking of getting one since you got yours!

  36. Happy Birthday, belatedly! Have a fabulous birthday week! And I love the “big spoon…..”. hahahaha

  37. Now we really wanted to see the inside of the vintage ipad book… Hurraah for your sister to give you a neat present. Hope you had a good birthday with lots of people around you that love you… Nothing else matters. (Well, except pressies of course…)
    I waved the same spoon around last year. Swearing that I was never going to read a book on an electric device… Haha…Steve Jobs does know what we need better then we do. O, 49 is the bestest birthday!

  38. Hey Sugarcakes, Happy Birthday a little late but what the heck; better than never. HA! I got ya beat by 4 years, mine was yesterday. So this is me throwing a ton of confetti in your general direction, just as much as they bury NYC in when the ball drops on New Years Eve and I will share my bday cake with ya. I just cut you a generous slice. Seriously yummy!!!!! Older and wiser it only gets better:)

  39. Happy happy birthday Mary Ann, you bring so much fun to our bloggy lives! Maybe that last bit should read Big spoon, Filled with cake, Put it in my mouth, And never cease and desist.. enjoy your day!! M

  42. Happy Slappy Birthday Sister! Soon, you will reach the big one, and hopefully I’ll be there to help you celebrate!

  44. Happy Birthday!
    Gotta say Costco’s chocolate cake is a steal at $16.99 and every bite puts you in a good mood.
    Where should I send it? To your school then you can share.8)

  45. Happy Birthday…love the WWF game but I have to practice. It’s a bit difficult to explain that I am an English teacher and SUCK at words with friends. I also play chess with friends – do you? Although sometimes my sons get on my pone and play for me 🙂 Beware, they are ruthless

  49. cynthia – she bought it at a store. dont know where. maybe barnes & noble…?
    the brand is twelvesouth. you know. for when you get your ipad. ha ha ha ha

  50. Happy happy birthday, Miss Mary Ann!! 49 is a good year (which I can say with complete authority, having just left that year behind a mere 6 weeks ago!)
    Vintage book cover case for the iPad? Whaaattt?? Did she make it or buy it???? Yet another reason to get an iPad, my list is getting quite long, not sure I’ll be able to resist much longer!

  52. Happy Happy MAM! Have a good one. I can’t discuss your ipad – I am totally out of the loop – although I do understand what Instagram means!! Honest! There is hope. xxDonna
