Multi-taksing

I'm trying to post comments on a friend's Facebook wall and chat while writing in this blog. My brain, computer and Internet provider - supposedly high-speed - don't like this.

I must learn patience ... or get a new computer and/or ISP.

The First Cut is the Deepest

I'm proud of my son. He tried out for his high school basketball team today. Yes, he was one of the first cut, but at least he tried.

He'll try out for baseball later this year (unlikely he'll make that team) and track. His chances in track are good. He's fast, fast, fast!

Bowling

What was I thinking when I organized a team for the SHMA bowling tournament? I don't want to go bowling! I haven't bowled in so long...

Ah, Saturday!

I just ate lunch while wearing my pajamas. At this point, I'm not sure I'm going to get dressed today. Why bother? I'm not going anywere, Mike is working and Damon doesn't care as long as he has something to eat.

Tomorrow is a bowling tournament with co-workers. I'm sure we'll have a great time because we won't take it seriously. We can't! Some of us haven't bowled in many, many years and none of us ever played well. It'll be a great bonding experience.

I'm piddling around off and on with social networking sites today. We're diving in head first at the CVB and the more I learn, the deeper the dive gets. I'm not even close to reaching the bottom of the pool. There are so many sites, I had to create a database just to keep up with all the URLs, usernames and passwords. We're tweeting on Twitter, digging on Digg, mixing on Mixx, blogging on Blog Spot, stumbling on StumbleUpon... along with Facebook, MySpace, Delicious, etc.

I do feel as if I'm getting a good system in place to streamline the process of posting information on the Web. It's been interesting and much like putting together a puzzle. I hope the work pays off!

What you did today is important

I should have kept a diary all my life but writing down “what happened today” never seemed to matter.

I’m realizing, however, that it’s not what happened today that matters. It’s what we think and feel about it that’s important because it shapes who we are and sharing that information could help our loved ones understand the roles we play in their lives.

So … let me tell you about my day:
- I hand washed dishes because the dishwasher isn’t working. I didn’t mind; I’m grateful for our newly-remodeled house and that I don’t live in poverty any more.
- Mike was disappointed I didn’t go fishing with him today. I’m feeling guilty because I don’t spend enough time with him. He’s a great husband and the love of my life.
- I spent some time working even though it’s my day off. I’m finally enjoying the career I hoped for when I started college – the year Tiffany started kindergarten. All the hard work in college and some tough years that weren’t what I expected in my professional life are finally paying off.

As this blog continues I hope my friends and family enjoy it and, most important, gain insight into me and themselves.
