Facebook

Okay, so what's the big deal about facebook? Why is it any different or any better than this blogger thing? Pictures, comments, etc. are available on both, right? Am I missing something? I guess I am too computer-illiterate to know why it's all the rage. I guess because you don't have "friends" on here, like you do on there ... maybe that's a 'big deal?' And instead of just posting a photo on a page, you can make "photo albums" ... maybe that's the draw? I don't know. I just know that I don't have time to keep up with ONE bloggy thing, much less two or three. But feels like this blogspot thing is kinda like the old shopping center down the street, where the businesses just slowly move out and move to a new location .... just because ... leaving a desolate, lonely old empty shopping center where once there was a lot of action. So, in attempt to "keep up with the Jones's" (i.e. my family and friends), I made a facebook page. Go find me if you can. But there is no "interesting layout" or anything exciting, because I don't know how to do anything on there except put some photos. And that, I did! All of you are on there (if you're reading this, because only my family reads this!). Oh, and if you prefer NOT to be on there, just let me know and I'll yank the photos. If I get familiar with that thing and learn how to do the same thing I do on here, I'll quit this one, because like I said, I can't even keep up with one, much less two.
Bye now.
I'm tired and I wanna go home.

back for a quick catch-up

You know, you'd really think one could post a little more often than I do, but seriously, I just can't seem to get to this with any regularity!

Not that I have nothing to post about, I guess my problem is the opposite, I have SO much going on that I don't have time to post about it.

Went "back home" to visit the family this past week - spent 3 days there seeing everyone and having a nice time. And enjoyed some good ol' BBQ a couple of times so that was a 'big plus!' Got to see the new great-niece for the first time - she's 4 months old and a real cutie pie! See for yourself .....













So, then it was back to the daily grind yesterday. But glad to have a "daily grind" (i.e. job!) to get back to - with all of the cut-backs and lay-offs that are going on, even within my own company, I'm glad I haven't been hit with that yet. Hopefully, won't be, but one never knows.
Made some of my "famous/infamous" homemade chicken noodle soup last night after work and took to some friends who have been sick and battling the "bug." Also, dropped by friend's house (our receptionist here at the office) who is going to have her first baby this afternoon. Then went by Granddaddy's for a quick visit; he is doing well. Then home about 8:30. Didn't get to work out. So it's been almost 2 weeks - longest I have gone without working out since I joined fitness center. Sad. But I will be there tonight, without fail. I cannot NOT GO, or else I gain back about a pound a day. Think I'm kidding, exaggerating? Nope, almost literally a pound a day, if I don't work out and if I eat ANYTHING in the evening, it just packs right on me! But sometimes "life" gets in the way of my well-laid plans!
Well, that's all I have time for now. Will try to get back here another day to write more. But don't anyone hold their breath now or you'll be in big trouble!
