Dang Facebook !

It's taken all my time.


When i'm not working (which is a big chunk of my day), I am at home. On facebook. When they say it's the fastest growing phenomenon on the internet, I can see why. I have hooked up with friends I haven't seen since elementary school. My Mom used to babysit the neighbor kids with us when we were small. We all had the mumps together, and the chickenpox together, and now we're all older and on facebook together! I have a lot of work friends. I have facebook friends. I have sports figures, and regular people. I love that you can update your status anytime and tell everyone what you're doing. They also have some cool applications, like pirates. You can play poker. You can do trivia. It's amazing!

Since my last blog update (which was a LONG time ago -- sorry everyone), we have done some celebrating. We had our 18th wedding anniversary on the 9th, and Anthony turned 9 on the 17th.

The kids are back at school, and school fees are out-friggin-rageous! Lisa started high school this year, and I think for her supplies/fees alone, it was almost $500. Anthony's was just over $250. How do parents that have 4 and 5 kids do it ?? Lisa's at band camp already, just until tuesday. I always thought band camp was in the spring, I guess you need to practice sooner when you're in high school. (I always want to tease her and say ... "... this one time at band camp ...")

There's some good concerts coming to town -- that I have tickets to. I'm going with my sister-in-law to see Def Leppard/Styx next Monday, and then 3 weeks after that we are going to see Ozzy/Rob Zombie. As a family. That should be fun!

That's the last 4 weeks or so in a nutshell. I've starting thinking forward .. I have some christmas presents purchased already, and we're already talking Christmas Party at work. Ho Ho Ho!
