Suffice to say that I spend much too much time on Facebook. If you want to find me there and don't know how, let me know. It's not that I'm not reading LJ all the damn time, I've just been saving my updating for the highly-addictive FB ( Read more... )

Notes from my Stay-cation:

1. Mad Men is awesome -- if you haven't seen it, you should.
2. Freecycle is awesome, too -- it amazes me that people I've never met will clamor for my old junk. I worry that they are pack rats, hoarders, excessive-compulsives, etc., but then I realize that -- since I don't know them -- that is not my problem, and I can ( Read more... )
