I'm SO over Facebook!!

I have to confess that I tried it because, well, sometimes I can be a copycat. I had grand illusions of contacting and communicating with people that I hadn't heard from in years - bonding once more and possibly getting together for dinner and to hang out.

Not!! I'm not feeling this Facebook thing. People that I can't even remember from my high school days or people that know someone else from my high school days are adding me as a friend. What do you say to a person that you have no idea who they are, where they live or why they want to be your friend.

Plus, some of the "mean girls" in high school have now forgotten that they were "mean" back then and are suddenly wanting to be nice. I really don't care that they now have four grandkids, three dogs and a husband that is in real estate. I just want to know why you were such a snob and so evil way back when?

There's nothing reminiscent or warm fuzzy about seeing classmates again after 28 years. Yeah, I'm nosey so seeing what they look like now is kind of fun...BUT...I'm done with snowball fights, drink requests, a gift of a coach purse (internet, not real) and all of that. I don't care that one of the "mean girls" is tired and is drinking coffee.

I'm so over it. I'm off to delete my Facebook!

Delete mine while your there cause I can't even be bothered to go back. Why would I want to hear from someone who hasn't given me the time of day for 20 some years? I don't.

How funny- I am getting frighteneing close to mixing my real life and blog life with people that I haven't spoken to in 20yrs.- I'm scared, but I am such a voyeur that I can't stop! I guess I like the danger (of possibly getting hit by a snowball!)

Sorry you had a bad experience. HUGS

I'm starting to get uncomfortable with FB too. A mean girl just befriended me too, and now she's all cozy cozy. Annoys the crap out of me. Perhaps that makes me immature, but I don't care.

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true. Only I --- could misunderstand someone that is telling me that they are "packing". She said, "I'm still living here but I'm packing." My re...

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
