I know I should just shut this down and go to bed, but I was just entering into a new realization - I think Blogs, are becoming a thing of the past - at least with my blogging friends. Rarely is there a new post. :( BOO. That makes me sad, I love blogs. I read all kinds of them, and when people stop posting it leaves me in a lurch to find out - what are they up to? Oh well.
I guess at the same time its a tragedy that people resort to blogs and facebook, instead of picking up the phone. I've been shocked lately to see how many people interact on facebook, rather than phoning. Offering breakfast invitations, or dinner plans with someone through facebook, hoping they read it before the deadline. That's too bad. Is our society leaving the personal touch of a phone call, after we've already left the personal touch of a handwritten letter. Where will it go next. Although I do think its sad, I'm the worst of them with phones. 9 times out of 10, my cell is turned off, or the batteries are dead. When it is on, I normally leave it behind, or have it somewhere it can't be reached within 4 rings. Our home phone is different - we do answer that when we're home, but honestly, we're out so much, we have more missed phone calls than we ever have received calls...and I don't much enjoy talking on the phone outside of my occupation anyways. I think being in customer service sort of wrecked that for me.
Anyways - if you're a blogger - I will be divorcing your blog soon if you don't write. :) I know, I'm not one to talk, but I love reading what you have to say, and I'm going to have to go and find some new bloggers to suit my reading pleasure at some point.
In other news, we took Jack for the day today and we sure had a blast. We went to the Zoo. As far as I know, it was his first trip to the Zoo, and it was great. I think he loved it. He was so happy and enjoyable all day! It was great to hang out with him, especially when we went to pick him up this morning, and he had a HUGE smile on his cute little face, and lifted his arms informing me he was wanting a big squeeze from his auntie. I love that little boy!

I always read your blog. So I hope you keep writing. :)
Preach it sista!!! This whole facebook thing is out of control!! I LOVE talking on the phone...getting "real" mail, etc. In fact, I send letters to Bethie at EBC and my nephew in university in Maine..they LOVE it...no one else writes them and other students don't get mail!!
So sad....
A lost art...Love ya!! Bonnie
One small correction....blogs were never cool. They were created by geeks for geeks. They also sadly encourage a very undesirable human behavior; while regurgitating their boring lives bloggers insidiously spew a diatribe of negativity on most aspects of life. In the words of my mother "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
I can't say anything really positive about Facebook, but at least you don't get people writing four page monologues about the trivialities and frustrations of everything under the sun!!
So good riddance to the blog. May it die a lonely death......
in response to anonymous: if blogs are so horrendous, then why do you read them (and write nasty things to hurt the feelings of people to write them)?
