Facebook

It was truly only a matter of time until Facebook crept into my blog life, lol! I truly tried to hold off as long as I could, but it is so energizing to connect with people in the middle of the day during my breaks at work.

For the longest time I didn't "get it." (What's the point? Who cares? What is the purpose of Facebook anyway?)

Then my niece went to Australia and I really wanted to connect with her and see what her life is like there 'til she comes back in July, so I "re-joined" facebook, and I have to say I'm loving it. My favorite part is that you get quick little "snippets" or "sneak peeks" into the lives of people that you know (or knew) but don't connect with on a regular basis anymore.

What have i learned on facebook?
  • my brother still works his schedule so that he takes off every other friday, and last friday he went out to lunch with his wife--just made me smile :)
  • i'm not the only parent with a crazy, hectic life
  • one of the ladies at my church is currently student teaching in first grade--so we're kindred spirits and we didn't know it ;)
  • my brother made chocolate chip cookies tonight (for his daughter, of course ;))
  • my sister's c-section got postponed for a week (yeah, she was disappointed)
  • saw photos of my sister and her friends from high school--i really tripped on those :)
  • saw navy photos of my brother--that was fun: a sneak peek into his navy life
  • that i must try Mr. Clean with Febreze so my house will smell like lavendar and vanilla when i mop

so what do I think of facebook now? I am LOVING it!

okay ... now I'm ready to grade papers and finish report cards.

I definitely have a love/hate relationship with facebook. for the most part it has been a very positive, fun experience. I have loved reconnecting with old friends. The negative is when you read things that people write that are just disappointing - for various reasons. I have had to de-friend a few people, but for the most part I think it's been a blast.

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

By
Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
