What's New

It's TGIF day!

Elyzabeth mentioned that I had been reading about blogs.  Well, I have,  but it was a work of fiction.  It's amazing what you can learn from fiction providing the author has done the research.  I know all sorts of trivia that is absolutely of no use to anyone but it is still good to know.

At any rate, I learned that what we are is "escribitionist".  That's the term for those people who are so narcissistic that they insist on writing about themselves.  The most noted authorities on writing always advise to "write what you know" so that's exactly what we are doing.  Besides it is a very convenient way to let all our friends and family know what's going on at our house.  It's like all those people who used to write a "here's whats been happening" to enclose in their Christmas cards.  By the way, does anyone send those out anymore????

Still, my daughter is absolutely right about technology.  I, like almost everyone else, carry a cell phone everywhere I go.  I do draw the line at texting - not my thing.  There are three of us in the household and we all have computers.  Sharing doesn't seem to be an option because most of the time we are all on line at the same time.  I am somewhat computer "literate", can use the remote to navigate between the TV, cable box, DVD and stereo.   This is no mean feat for someone who remembers when the television had to be turned on and channels switched with the dial on the set.  We've come a long way, baby!  I now know what "leetspeak" and 'kewl" mean.  Is that worth getting old for or not?

KEEP READING!
