Ahhh, the addiction of Facebook
So, I have to say, I was up on the Crackbook Facebookwebsite for quite a while. Now, all of a sudden it seems like everywhere I go and anyone I know is getting on Facebook. It has exploded over the past week. Amazing! It is kind of cool to see everyone’s family and how everyone has changed (or stayed the same) since high school or college. It is a great way to reconnect with people who you have not seen in a long time, friends and family (especially those out of state) and other people from different areas of your life.
I also was able to connect with a few groups of people from the other addiction I have: Ravelry.
As far as other stuff going on. Kids had swimming and diving lessons again today. Sign up for next session is on Wednesday and I think they are going to be at this level for quite some time. I just don’t see them progressing me. And, that’s okay. I know they are doing great and having fun. Carter is doing okay in diving as well. He had a different coach today who finally got him to dive off of the board. He dove off of the board the very first day of class, maybe the second too, but after that, only the side of the pool and the block. Today, the guy got up on the board with Carter after Carter starting to go and stopping – repeatedly. Then, to my amazement, Carter dove off of the board! Not half bad either! I found out after class the instructor said if Carter dove off of the board, he would dive off of the lifeguard stand. So, they both kept their word. I, however, missed the instructor go off of the lifeguard stand. That would have been fun to see! Carter was really proud of himself after lessons today too.
I have my MRI on Friday. That has been starting to weigh on my mind too, as it does every year at this time. I am always scared that something will have changed and that the lesions have somehow gotten bigger this time. Then, when it is over, and the doctor shows me the scans and reassures me that it is fine, then I am fine. This time, however, I have the MRI on Friday, and I don’t have the doctor’s appointment until August 20! That is a long time to have to wait and be anxious about it. Hopefully I will be so busy in the next few weeks studying for my state certifications, shuffling kids to activities and my girls’ weekend that I won’t have time to even think about it. Until then, I will keep my fingers crossed that all is good!
I originally got on it because of family members who signed up for it, and then it branched out slowly… until last week. Will it ever cause me to reconnect with someone enough to go and meet them again in person… who knows? High school is kind of a time in my life I don’t really want to return to. I mean it was okay, I had great friends, but I can honestly say, I have better friends now and stronger friendships with the friends I have now. Some of them I have had since high school or even longer (like preschool/kindergarten) and others later in life. But, do I want to move backwards? I don’t know. I will just have to see what this new “community” brings about.
