Take out!

I love Fridays for many many reasons. The house is clean so I don't have to worry about it over the weekend. My big girl goes to ballet. My husband is home for two days. We play games when the kids go to bed. AND I don't cook dinner. Friday is take out night. This evening we will be partaking of a fine selection from Outback Steak House! Yummy. We order it carside to go so we don't have to force the kids to stay in their seats and we can actually chew our food and talk. I like to serve the kids first and then stick them in front of a movie. Then my man and I sit down to an adult meal where food is chewed and drinks are sipped directly in front of us. You know, instead of off to the side in an attempt to keep it from being spilled by a quick little arm.
I also like to eat my food instead of sharing it with everyone at the table. My smallest peanut loves to mmmmmmmmmm about every piece of food on my plate and squeal until I give her something! lol It is cute, but I have needs. I need my baked potato all to myself from time to time. I need to chew my food, not just inhale it so that it doesn't get dumped all over the floor. Every once in a while I need to eat a meal without saying sit down, chew with your mouth closed, just try it you may like it, or my favorite-quit making that face about my cooking.
After all, there are starving children in the world that would love to eat your dinner!

I love facebook!

I was lost in everyday life & missed my blog, but facebook sucked me in. I couldn't help myself. It is so fun to find friends even if you don't 'talk' or even write to them. It is just nice to know they are there if I wanted to contact them.
Some of the pictures blew my mind. Some Friends lost TONS of weight, some look exactly the same with better hair (I graduated during BIG HAIR) and the rest look old, while I haven't aged a day. One girl has been at the same job for 16 years! Hello. That means since we were 16. (I am only 32). Seriously, I worked at a clothing store named Sunshine Blues when I was 16 and then as a checker at a grocery store later that year. If I was still at either one I would probably go out to the bar every Thursday for wing night, have a wall-o-bangs and still tight roll my white tapered pants. Yipes! lol
Some people are still livin' the single life, but most are married with kids and seem stable. My favorite people are the ones that join just to look like they have 'friends'. Having 289 'friends' on facebook doesn't make you popular. It makes you a stalker! You basically ask everyone that went to the same school as you to be your friend. Imagine that in the caf. "Hey, we go to the same school, want to be my friend because we go to the same school? We have so much in common. Did I mention I want you to be my friend?" You would run the other way.
Luckily, there is an ignore option. I find that much nicer than the NO button. I am currently ignoring a very popular girl I went to school with. She has almost 400 friends. She wouldn't be a good friend, she is spread too thin. I would need her to invest more time in our friendship.
