Communication

When I was in 6th grade I had a pen pal.

I now have:

my home phone
a cell phone
2 email addresses
this blog
MySpace page
Facebook page
Twitter (amycrochet)

And we're worried about the government invading our privacy?? Sheesh, we're doing it to ourselves! They don't need special spying software--just a laptop.

I let the whole world know about my life, my thoughts, my beliefs and then I go to the doctor's office and fill out a million stupid HIIPA (sp?) forms. For some reason it just seemed funny to me today. Ironic.

Well, I better go. I need to check my caller ID and email and update my status on Facebook. Call me!

New Years Confessions, Not Resolutions

Making a confession feels almost as good as making a resolution, but without all the work. (Try it this year for a nice change of pace.) Here are some of my New Years Confessions:

*Against every parenting principle I hold dear, I recently paid my 3 year old a quarter to put on her jacket.

*I keep my mismatched socks in a big bag. Last week I went through the bag to make matches and made a new record--FORTY-NINE Pairs of socks!

*Sometimes I buy candy and hide it so I don't have to share.

*I think Dumb and Dumber is one of the funniest movies ever and that disturbs me.

*I don't iron anything, ever. That's what a dryer is for. My husband recently asked if we could please buy an ironing board so he could iron his dress shirts.

*When I was having my son, Zachary, I hit a nurse. In my defense, she deserved it.

*I have blamed broken things on the children.

*When I was in grade school, I kicked a girl in the shins. Hard. When she went to tell the teacher, my friend Annie lied and said I didn't do it. And who would believe that sweet little Amy would do such a thing?

*I once shattered a toilet tank cover at Wingers. Long story, very embarrassing.

*Once when I was in college, I drove my car to school, then forgot I drove and walked home. The next day when I woke up and went to the parking lot, I thought someone had stolen my car. Plus, I got a ticket for overnight parking.

I found my digital camera, but now the battery is dead. So as soon as I get a battery I have some pictures of all the projects I've been working on.
