Wasting away....

My daughter keeps asking me today if I am going to die. I finally asked her why she thinks I'm going to die. She said it's because I'm so old. I asked her how old she thought I was. She said "12" I didn't dare tell her how old I really am. Then she would really be scared I was going to die.

Speaking of old, I was tempted by Mom Interrupted to get a facebook account. So I did! I'm so excited! I now have 5 friends. They are my 3 sisters, 1 brother and 1 brother-in-law. Thank goodness for family and since they won't talk to me on my blog, maybe they will talk to me on facebook, except I have no clue how to work the silly thing. They'll have to do all the talking and for once, I'll be forced to listen.

Okay, here's the part about feeling old. I can't find anyone my age-ish that I know on facebook! What's up with that? Blogging seems to be alot of young moms, which I am, right? But I get so excited when I find a mom with lots of kids and over 30. Facebook seems to be young single adults or REALLY old mom's (I'm an old mom too, remember?) keeping an eye on their high school and college kids social life. At least I am still ahead of my kids on this one. (Barely!)

So, do you have a facebook account? Do you want to be friends?

FYI I am worse about writing people on facebook than I am on the blogs unfortunately but it is still fun to find people you know and see what they are up to. Way to be such a modern hip mom!!!

Everytime my little one see's an elder, she loudly announces it to everyone. She is really fascinated with old people and death as well. I have learned to be careful when announcing how old I feel or feel I am. She takes it to heart.

I have a facebook, I too got it to talk with my sisters. I Never check it!!! I am surprised I haven't been cancelled or something.

My little sis has a facebook account. I think Wendell does too, although he never uses it. I'm resisting. And trying to convert my little sis to being a blogger.

I would be your friend, but I haven't ventured into the Facebook world, at least yet. Too scary! :) I'll stick to blogging for now. I still have tons to learn in that world!

I prefer Cre8buzz to any other social networking site I've tried. I could send you an invite if you want? It's so easy to navigate and meet other moms.

My sister just opened a face book account and invited me. I don't know much about it, though.

I am so out of touch that I don't even know what facebook is! Is it like My Space? Blogging is as adventurous as I get right now. And you are NOT old!!!

Sorry. Maybe in about 5 years....

Funny about being 'old' at 30... ish. ;)

You're so young! I'm on facebook. I'm only on it to play scrabulous, but still, I'd love to be friends!
