Winter Wonderland

It snowed last night. I'm not sure how much we got, but I think it was about two inches. After the snow came the rain, ice, and freezing temperatures. The trees are coated with ice and the roads with snow. A pine tree next to our yard had some large branches that couldn't bear the weight of the snow and ice and the branches are now in our yard. All the snow and ice makes for a very picturesque scene.

Facebook Fast

I am sick of getting on Facebook for no reason. I am becoming obsessive about it. I go to it about every five minutes hoping somebody sent me a message. And then I am disappointed when there is nothing new waiting for me. I also want to quit letting certain people control my life. They don't know they do, and I guess they really don't, but some days it certainly feels that way. I want to release this bond.

So, for one week, I will not get on Facebook. I won't get on Facebook again until 9 February 2007. I can't wait to see what I can accomplish when I let go.

Happy Birthday!

Ayden had his first birthday today. He was more excited about his new toys than he was his cake, which I enjoyed because I did not want to see my nephew get chocolate all over himself. I don't get when parents do that to their children. I don't find it funny, nor do I see where it is fun. My brother and sister-in-law allowed their baby girl to do this on her birthday last August. After a few minutes, my niece looked absolutely upset. She did not like having chocolate all over her. I can't imagine her parents had fun cleaning her and her new high chair (which I'm sure got ruined after she got chocolate all over it). Yet, my brother and sister-in-law still laughed. I guess it's one of those things I will never understand. Mark my words though, when I have children, they will not do this on their first birthday.
