Blame Facebook!

Ok I've been neglecting blogger and my yahoo! mail and there's only one to blame...the insane crazy networking world of Facebook! I've been meaning to post about it but I'm so easily distracted by it that I hardly ever get on here anymore! I've kept in touch with people from Ottawa, found my high school network and found old childhood friends whom I never thought I'd hear from again! It's incredible this site has 100,000 Canadians ALONE that are signing up everyday, according to CBC a couple of months back. It has a six degrees of separation concept, you can find people when you weren't even looking! Even my next door neighbour found me on here and although we can just step out onto our porches to say hi, we find ourselves obsessed with messaging one another about whichever... and sometimes late at night! I've even introduced the neighbour across the street, my friend who said she wouldn't get sucked in, my sister and even found a blogging buddy on there! It's a way to see what everyone's doing every day if you ever want to be that nosey...but everyone else is doing the same! Create your profile, tell people what you're doing at the moment (Heidi is ______) post photos, have food fights, 'poke' someone, look through your friends' list and discover they know someone you've known all your life!! Nutty world man and I'm totally addicted. So pardon me for the lack of posts....you know where I'll be.

Having said that, I need to update you with some things. My mom and Rick were here visiting last weekend and left on Father's Day. We had a great visit even though it was short, but that's the fun in being back home - we can see each other almost whenever. Mom spoiled us big time with gifts when they came to the door, plus took me and Sam shopping all day and we got clothes clothes and more clothes! Mom brought back 3 beautiful water color prints and frames from Florida she had specially matted so I can add it to my coastal themed guest room. Everything is looking better and better as the time goes on. Thanks so much for everything mom and Rick. I have been overwhelmed with so much generosity these days and I say that because I wish I had the money to return the favour. It's just that my mom and Rick and Wayne's mom have helped us out so much and always spoil us. One day I'll be able to do it.

Sam's been potty training so well these days, she usually tells me before she has to go so it won't be long before she's all set for pre school. We're not puting her in until next year anyway. It'll just be great to finally get her out of diapers too.
Wayne's been on business trips for the last couple of weeks. He goes back to Winnipeg next week then to Edmonton 2 weeks later. I've really got to find something useful to do with my days than putter around the house (and being on facebook...LOL!) I was thinking that now I have a car I could volunteer and even bring Sam with me. I was also thinking of puting her back into swim lessons...I really want her to get back into activities I had her in when she was under a year. I was always at playgroups and swimming. I'll figure it out.
