I'm Addicted to Facebook . . .

And as much as I hate to admit it, I'm glad!

A few weeks ago, a good friend of mine told me about Facebook. We're having our 20th HS reunion in October and she was finding some people both from HS and her college days. So I thought, "What the hell. I'll give it a shot."

I have been having so much fun on it that it has taken over my blogging time (and one of the main reasons why I went a week and a half without posting until yesterday).

I've found a childhood friend who I haven't seen in at least 20 years!

I've also found a way to keep in contact with a number of my cousins. There is a special reason why I'm particularly thrilled about this . . . when I was growing up, my parents were the only family members who didn't live in Wisconsin. So all my extended family, including cousins, lived back there. Now, growing up during a time where the only way to keep in contact with someone was snail mail (because long-distance calls were TOO expensive), I didn't have much of an opportunity to get to know them.

In the past couple of weeks, I have visited with them more than I have in the past 5, maybe 10, years!

So I'm looking forward to more visits and deeper family ties . . .

And now, to bed . . . 'Cause tomorrow is another day!
