Social Media

The wonders of modern technology. Though I have been updating with facebook, and typing away on here for a few months, I still am having trouble with the point of twitter. It's just gotten to a point where the regular "social" updates seem so self-absorbed. Does anyone out there really care that I just took out the garbage? Or that some guy is at target, or doing the dishes? Facebook makes sense to me, and as much as I hate it, to a lesser extent myspace serves the same purpose. Those people I am connected with are people who I know in my real life, away from the computer. It makes sense to me. Twitter, on the other hand, makes me feel like an egomaniac, putting my daily life out there for people to notice, or, you know, not. It's almost lonely. I understand that some people actually do know each other, and it serves a useful purpose for them to keep up with the comings and goings. But there's just so much, it seems indicative of a larger, 'look at me' kind of 'hurry up' ethic out there. Maybe I'm coming at it from the wrong direction. I can't lie, It does sort of make me feel good when I get new followers, but at the same time, it's strange that people are interested. I guess it's the same thing as blogging, but these posts are longer and it's a little more deliberate to read something like this. Ah, maybe I'm being silly. It shouldn't annoy me like it does. Maybe I just need a nap...

We're off the rails here...the last several weeks: hard drive crash, offline for 10 days waiting on new one, no word about house, party planning, Eagles abysmal games, and did a 2-week detox. So, now, everything is coming back to normalcy. Detox was useless, but did put both of us on some kind of workout regimen, (and gave us a new appreciation for pizza!) Craig fixed my laptop all on his own (he's magic!), and our pre-Thanksgiving sleepover party was great (lots of dogs, though!) And the Eagles had an amazing, amazing game on Thursday.

Craig is recently preoccupied with candle-making (we have lots of old, half used candles) and I am hoping he doesn't decide that we should try to sell them. I prefer to stick to the reading as hobby-of-choice (unless wine drinking counts). I have read so many great books lately!

We've also started looking for housing in San Diego, that isn't going as well as planned, but at least we have a temporary place to land once we're there. It will be easier, I think, as our move approaches, as most places will have a better idea of what their availability will be at the end of January. It's still just a little far out.

Best of all: All the contracts are in, and the appraisal, and all the bank-stuff. So we can go to settlement in the next week or so, as soon as the signatures are collected! It's so exciting. And as for all the work we're doing everyday, all of our websites are live, and we've started promoting them! You can check them out at the main page: http://www.crazywebcash.com

This is really scattershot today, isn't it? I will maybe try again a little later. Oh, and if you live in GA, go out and vote today for Jim Martin!
