I finally gave into the whole 'social networking' thing. Facebook specifically. Hence my failure to keep up with this blog. While intially enamoured with facebook and all it's novelties the honeymoon has ended so to speak.

A few things I have learned about social networking:

1) Be careful who you friend

2) It's hard to unfriend people once you've become their friend

3) People are annoying.

Basically - If facebook set out to mirror real social interaction in cyber space - Mission Accomplished. And I mean that seriously - not in the ironic "you really haven't succeeded - but you will in 5 years" way.

Honestly there is only one of my very few friends (yet another similarity to real life) that annoys the hell out of me, and I don't even known why they're my friend...actually I do. Because they're the kind of person that logs into a social network with the intention of befriending every person they possibly can so they can innundate them all with stupid quips they stole from TVs and emails, every test ever made for facebook, and personal updates on every movement of their day. And I was done enough to accept their request. Grr.

All that aside - Facebook makes staying in touch with people easier than it would be otherwise, but lacks the ability to provide anything more substantial than random observations, the occasion status, and the like.

I got the entire MS Expression Suite (yay MS discount) and have started to play with it in hopes of finally doing something with this. Though I think I'm inclined to leave the blog as is for the time being. Most of my lack of motivation is due to being back in school again. Only 2 months to go and I'll be done for good though!

Not much going on here otherwise. We've been going for some fun rides whenever the weather premits which hasn't been too often. I've also been plants a lot of flowers and doing some yard work. We painted the office last week and it looks fabulous. I love the color so much I'm think of repainting our bedroom. I'll be doing the spare bedroom for certain seeing as we have a can left over. But that's next weekend. Now it's time for bed - it's my turn to mow the lawn.
