My year so far

New Years Eve was a bit uneventful. I fell asleep while my husband was watching the Three Stooges marathon. I was awakened at midnight by my neighbors lighting off fireworks in the street. It was an impressive display, possibly since this year the burn ban was not in affect and the better fireworks could be purchased this year. When it was over, I fell asleep again...weeee, I really know how to party.

My husband has four days off in a row, which is rare. We decided to go to Hollywood video yesterday and pick a few movies since my two a month plan from Netflix doesn't kick in again for another week. I cannot remember the last time I got a movie from the video store, maybe 4 years ago I am guessing, Holy friggin Cow it is expensive. It was $5 per movie; we spent $15 dollars for three videos! Maybe I have gotten so used to Netflix and renting older movies from the library free that I have been spoiled but geez that seemed high.

It is another nice day today in Austin, cool but the sun is out and it is not too windy. I think we are going to do some errands in town, maybe get my tire on my bike fixed so we can take a bike ride later.

(Cue list music....)

I really like FB because I have been able to reconnect with old friends that I am largely responsible for not keeping in contact. I am not a phone caller, but some things on fb are annoying:

1. when people that I supposedly know from high school or even as far back as elementary school send me a friend request but don't send a message with it to remind me who they are and just assume I remember them from third grade.
2. the games and how when other people play them they clutter the live feed
3. heart, hugs, etc. requests - I won't accept them, I don't want to allow access
4. allowing access - what are they doing behind the scenes with my information?
5. poking - it's not acceptable in my real life, don't do it in my cyber life
