Facebook Frazzled

I remember when Facebook was a college social networking website. It used to be only open to college students...then it expanded and expanded. Now, I know of 12 and 13 year olds that are on it!! I don't agree with that! The internet can be abused and misused, especially at such a young, difficult age!

Anyways, I had been on Facebook since 2005 when I was a freshman attending Tarleton State University. That's crazy to me! So of course...I had a good time in college and definitely lived the college life and got every bit of life's lessons while in college.

Well, now Facebook has launched a mandatory app called Timeline. Eeeeeek! Okay folks...there are things that date back to 2006 and 2007 that aren't my finest moments. I didn't want all that mess coming back to haunt me!

Yes, it's time to move on from Facebook and probably has been for a while. But, I love catching up with old friends and having a glimpse of old friend's lives.

So it came down to my profession. Do I want my employer taking a peek at my crazy college escapades...NO! So I did it. I deleted my page. I'm sure I'm not the only person out there beginning to worry.

Yahoo posted an article about the new Social Timeline and how many would probably be upset, considering it originated as a COLLEGE networking sight.

I've been meaning to devote more time to blogging...so I feel like this was the way OUT with Facebook and IN with Blogger. It kinda feels good...bittersweet anyways...

A little of this and that...

Every New Year, I tell myself that I am going to get on the ball and blog once a week but sadly I always feel like I don't have anything BLOG-WORTHY! I enjoy reading other people's blogs and hearing about their kid's and everything going on in their lives...my life never seems as fascinating! : )

Anyhow...I had been begging my husband for a new car for the past few months. I got my car a year and a half ago and it has been nothing but bad luck! It was a cute little black Nissan...and remember when the Rangers were in their first year of the playoffs...well I got stuck in that crazy traffic and was rear-ended...so we got that fixed. Then the whole side of it was side-swiped...so we got that fixed too. My goodness...just bad, bad luck!!

So I finally got rid of it! YAY! I got a 2011 GMC Terrain! I love it! A gal I know has a cute black one, and I just loved it so I came across a pretty good deal on a white one and got it last weekend. Loving it...

On another subject...
Work has been completely crazy...I'm definitely ready for a change. Whether it be new town or a new grade...I'm not sure. I have been praying a new door opens and that Cody and I see some new great changes this year! Keep us in your prayers.

 I've been so stressed with work that I have stayed at home all weekend and just done some relaxing and cleaning! I finally got my new napkin rings and dishes out and on the tables...love it! Although...I'm wondering if a brown napkin would have looked better. Pier 1 had them with tan too though... Thank you Pier 1!!!

And to wrap this random post up....I'm going to see Beauty and The Beast in 3D today! I can't wait!

Enjoy your day off! I know I will!

Christmas Pictures

Here are some of my favorites from our recent Christmas pictures!

May your days be merry and bright...

Sneak Peek

Cody and I haven't had pictures done in over 2 years! So I thought we would get some new pictures for Christmas cards this year. A friend of mine Cassey was sweet enough to squeeze us in so I can hurry to get Christmas cards out. I think they are going to be pretty cute. Poor Cassey got stuck shooting a few in the rain!

Here is the first one she took. She was testing the lighting and wasn't even aiming for a good shot and it turned out pretty cute! Franky did so good! I will post more as they come!

Trunks and Treasures

Every Christmas I load up on sweet little girl clothes for my neice Jacy, and well...
1. I never see her wear any of it, probably because I am a total girly-girl and love the big over the top bows and tutus, and well my sister in law is totally opposite.
2. They outgrow stuff so fast!
3. Clothes are totally boring to a 3 year old!

So, this year I came across the facebook page Trunks and Treasures. They have the cutest vintage suitcases that are hand painted, made to store dress up clothes or anything really. Again, I know I think of dress up clothes...BUT I did say it could store other things! Anyhow, I got her one made for Christmas this year and I love it!!! Check them out on facebook!

thirty-one

I hosted a thirty-one product party last night and we had a blast. Cody went to the deer lease for opening day of bow hunting and I had a bunch of ladies over for a party. If you haven't seen their products, you should check out their webpage. www.thirtyonegifts.com. Some of their stuff can be kind of pricey, but some of it is reasonable. But, you can earn a lot of free products and half price products if you host a party. I got a lot for myself and then picked up some things for my mom for Christmas.
