Slow and Steady Wins the Race
by
I haven’t been feeling the urge to write lately. I write more when I am down, and as things have been rather peachy over here, there’s not much inspiration for writing.
I’ve been appreciating my weekdays with Sun a whole lot more lately. I think it’s that she’s getting to an age, finally, where she’s really interactive. And funny. No, I won’t bore you with funny tales that won’t seem funny to anyone but me and CS. But she’s certainly grown on me more these past few weeks. Love her to pieces, I do.
I’ve got a new hobby lately. Facebook. I know. Sad. And worse? I am there for dumb Farmville! I dream of living on that dang farm. It’s crazy! I am city girl through and through. But what’s more addictive is watching the thread of a distant friend as she and another distant friend try to get each other’s head to explode.
She is a new mom. And a doula. She is an advocate to breast feeding, not getting vaccines, and not having others touch her baby (even at 8 months). She is also now making her own yogurt and other delectable treats. And she writes about these topics daily.
He is a guy. And a father. But mainly a guy. And so when she posts pictures on Ina May emerging from a homemade vagina, his head begins to spin. And when she posts about a baby that died in flight because the airline “forced” the mother to cover her baby and she fell asleep, but the story she links to doesn’t mention the mother being forced at all, his spinning head begins to release steam.
He attempts to point out to her that maybe she needs to be more objective in her analysis. But his approach does nothing but offend her. And the more he pushes, the more she stands her ground, even as her head begins to spin and steam.
So now, each day, I can’t wait to see what she’ll post to get his goat which will inevitable lead to his responding. And then hers, and his again, etc.
And I just sit back and enjoy. And then I go to my farm and milk cows.
My slow and steady life is going just fine.
This is why I totally ignore anything on facebook that is about mafia wars or farmville, etc… I’m terrified to get sucked in. I started blogging more often. It’s my way of rebelling. Everyone goes one way, I go the other. As for twitter, I time my use. I’m that protective of my time.

i’m that way with Cafe’ World. Managed to break free of it since I’ve had a couple of weeks at home, but I know I’ll be back to it in Helsinki next week.

ROTFL @ the granola drama. There was a girl who had daily status updates on her status post-breakup. Former coworker I didn’t really know but she friended me after I left the job dating another coworker for years. He apparently did something HORRIBLE & she had like 2 weeks of statuses like “You think you really know someone and then…” or “STUNNED.” It was AWESOME. I lived for those statuses!! I refuse to even give the games a try! NO MORE CRACK!!
A cold drink and some popcorn and it sounds like you’re set for an evening of entertainment. And your Farmville cows can help with the butter for the corn.

I thought I noticed a sudden influx of you posting on FB, esp during the Saints game.
I love FB for being able to stay in touch with so many people, despite people’s argument that “if you didn’t stay in touch with them before FB, then why now?” I think it helps me keep in touch with MORE people and no more wasting time catching others up b/c the updates are already out there!
And yes, there are those people that update EVERYTHING minute thing about their lives, without caring about the consequences. Fun for the rest of us to gasp and watch.

Sounds like the best kind of life to have right now heading into the hectic last few weeks of the year.

All my friends are boring. I could start family drama, but I tend to walk away from my computer often so…I did get sucked into Cafe World by a certain someone that will remain nameless. *ahem* I am too impatient for Farmville.

All that drama happens on Farmville? Who knew?
I tried Vampires and Pirates but I just don’t have the attention span for them which is also probably why I’ve reduced to blogging photo’s lately.
My brain cells = old and tired.

So that’s where you’ve been. I thought you had given up blogging altogether. I was able to utilize FB on my computer at work for a short period of time but alas, we are now blocked. I also don’t have the patience to play the different games. Glad you are enjoying it.
