Alert and Oriented (x4)

Wishing you all a joyous Thanksgiving!

I have not jumped on the bandwagon and joined Twitter. Although I think their little blue bird is completely adorable, I just can't allow myself to do it. Frankly, I’m a little bit afraid. Facebook is kind of like crack to me, and I really don’t think I could fit another aspect of social networking into my day. Something would have to give, and with the very real fear that it might be eating chocolate or personal hygiene, I’ve decided NOT to tweet. That being said, I have something to say about all the status updates. Recently, a ‘friend’ (really more of an acquaintance, but a very nice lady nonetheless, and while I can befriend someone on fb, I can’t ‘be-acquaintance’ anyone) challenged me to post a status update each day during the month of November that begins, “Today I am thankful for…” I don’t know really how many days I’ve been at it, but probably four or five. I challenged other friends, and have enjoyed reading the heartfelt and the humorous. My sister-in-law posted t...

Yes, someday I will write an actual post, with actual content. But until then, play along with Lidna at 2nd Cup with this fun meme.... 1. What was the last song you listened to?

What is something in your life that you are thankful for now that you didn’t think you would be at the time of the event? (Something that seemed ill-timed, inconvenient or hurtful which turned out to be a good thing) When I first saw the house I now live in, I really didn't like it very much. It was about 25 miles from work and had been left vacant for several months. Now the area around it has grown, and I probably wouldn't have met most of my close friends if I lived in another area. Plus, I love my home! 4. Do you watch the Macy’s Tha...

Linda, over at 2nd Cup of Coffee , has the 10th edition of Random Dozen. Come play! 1. It's early morning, about 2:00AM, and you're driving home. You come to a red light and sit there. There is no one in sight for miles around. Do you wait it out or run the light? Probably run it…unless there were one of those pesky red light cameras. 2. If you had the chance to re-do the last 24 hours, would you change anything? I probably should’ve gone to bed earlier. Otherwise, it was a pretty productive day. 3. When you reply to someone's comment on your blog, do you reply in your comments or go to her blog and comment? (Or email her) It depends on how personal the comment was. I’ve been known to do all of the above. I always try to visit the other blog, anyway…and sometimes with Mary from Monkeys are Funny, we have a regular dialog in the comments. p.s. What about him? What if it's a man? 4. Your favorite Disney movie is: Live action? The Parent Trap (old one with Hayley M...
