K to begin let me just say I love all of you...
Now let me explain myself. I am the kind of person who keeps in touch with people. I really do. And I do support facebook but I'm pretty sure it isn't really keeping me in touch with anyone. I used to make cards for people and call them too. Now I can see how they are doing just by checking their status. They don't even know I am checking in on them. So I really don't "know" how they are doing or even what they look like or how neato their kids are eventhough I can see their pictures and read their silly facebook thoughts. Another thing, throughout the day I think in facebook-like how I would post what I'm thinking about and what pix I would post-if I had a camera which we finally do again! That may not be so bad as it may be teaching me to organize my thoughts into sentences but still it gets annoying. I don't post that often. And I like to read most of my "friends" posts-all the "villes" I'd be happy not wasting time on-even split seconds. And for some reason I don't receive all of my "friends" posts-like a friend who had a baby in May I just came across her posts-thanks 4 months later-really helpful. I am sure I am asking too much of good ole FB but pretty soon I will be saying goodbye for reals-you are so dumb, you are really dumb for real...so dumb so dumb. Of course I'm saying that to FB not my "friends". Not even sure what friend means anymore! Just had our annual Thorn Women's Retreat-awesome! Plans were made through FB and we left at least one out-so sad. Yes, she probably couldn't have come but still we should've invited her. It feels like I need to be all in or all out. Though I know I'd be lonely all out of touch with everyone and hearing things only through the grapevine-which is really what they should have named FB. But there is something to regular mail and face to face communication. Yeah I know there isn't time for all that-but to snatch a phrase-isn't it about time? we are too busy running here and there, making stuff, spending $, making $, eating, driving to soccer, playing soccer etc Those are fun things and things we gotta do but it can get overwhelming. Especially when we see our "friends" posts of how many great things they are doing and how great they look and that they visited our area but didn't see us cause they were so busy and frankly why would they need to see us when they just looked at our albums on FB. It makes me angry all over again! Haven't sent a Christmas letter in years because I am tired of being the only one who wants to stay in touch. A N Y H O W! I am mostly a happy person! really! I'm super duperly blessed and love my husband like crazy. My kiddos are fantastical and beautiful and getting too big too fast. My extended family is silly and great company! My family of origin is supportive and loving and aaamaaazing! Life is still complicated though and I think FB is making it more so... I'm just saying.
