blog, actually
so, i'm actually going to blog instead of post pictures or video clips.
Technology is great for relationships? Okay, so we are in touch with millions more people than we were or would've been 10 years ago, but I feel like meaningful "relationships" have been reduced to "commentships". I don't want to feel connected to someone because of their witty ability to respond to a picture. I want to have a conversation about something meaningful or go and be with them. So, I'm glad to be in touch with people, but I guess I want more with some of you. Letters aren't cool anymore, but I'm so awkward on the phone. Some of you guys I should have over for dinner, but some of you are too far away. Is email just not cool enough anymore? can't I write you something more in depth without having to "post it" for the world to see? I know a lot of people are "so anti" email, the new "snail mail". I never thought I'd be the old bitty speak out against technology. Maybe it's because I just created a facebook and I did because I'm sick of the invites and being unable to see your guys' pages because I don't have my own. I feel resentful because I've already gotten 3 million emails from facebook and all I see are other people's commenting and a tiny profile picture of my "friend".
REDEEMING QUALITY OF FACEBOOK? I did have a live chat with Liz that I thoroughly enjoyed. I have no idea how she initiated it but I'm glad she did. It was like a real conversation... live and reacting to eachother.
So, here is my second time to blog with information and feelings (actually I've done it several times late at night and then I always delete by the next morning because I feel incredibly vulnerable to just spit it out there to the universe, and I don't figure my personal release of text is that meaningful to too many people). Plus pictures of my kids are so much cuter. right?

yummy-ness
My next door neighbor, and very good friend, Carla made me dinner tonight... totally unexpected, and absolutely delicious. So, I wondered what I could do for her, and I decide to honor her with a personal plug and a flattering post.
She makes the most beautiful cakes. She is so clever and artistic with them. I love coming by every weekend just to see the orders she's sending out. Everything from weddings to mother's day! Over the hill, and baby showers!
CHECK OUT HER STUFF!

Here's my little Munchkins with their Daddy!!!
The girlies performing up on stage...
They are holding up better than I thought. I thought they would get sick of sitting through the rest of the play after their part was done, but they are loving it! We are having so much fun and I'm so happy my girls get to be involved. Most years they get so used to playing on stage during rehearsals that they don't understand why they can't hop up during the performances, but this year they can and it is so fun for me to watch!!!!
