Facebook. . .I did it! Gulp~!
12/25/726

Oh, goodness, I think I overdosed on the computer last week.

In case you're wondering how-in-the-world I did that, let me just sum it all up in three words: I joined Facebook.

Yes, really. Even my kids can’t believe it.

Okay, I realize I may be the second-to-last person in the universe to subscribe to this new form of social networking, but I already spend three-fourths of my life at my keyboard and the thought of spending the remaining fourth staring at my computer screen just wasn’t appealing. But, I succumbed to peer pressure. (Who knew there would be peer pressure beyond the teen years?!)

I’ll be honest, the jury’s still out as to whether I’m going to love this new way of connecting, or wish I’d continued with my ostrich imitation—keeping my head in the sand and pretending I had no idea there was such a thing as Facebook.

So far, no one from my long-last past has found me. No old boyfriends. No second-cousins-twice-removed. But I have been surprised that some of my kids’ friends want to be friends with ME! Who knew?

If you need more Facebook friends. . .well, so do I. (That’s the whole idea, isn’t it?) If you’d like to connect through this not-so-new wrinkle in cyberspace, let me know. I’ll be hanging around at the intersection of “Home” and “Profile.” Hope to see you there!
