Twitter and Facebook

I've come a long way in the last few weeks. I actually am using/reading Twitter, and whoopty-doo. I'm not that impressed with it. I'll give it a few months, and then, if it doesn't seem to grab me, I'll give it up. Does it have a purpose, or is it just another "thing" on the internet? Maybe I'm missing the point, and need to learn more about it. Hmm.

My kids suggested I get on Facebook, so I did. Now I'm addicted to the game Farm Town. Talk about silly. I enjoy Facebook as I can see pictures of my kids and grandkids, and nieces and nephews and their kids, and even a sister! It's fun to keep up with them all, and Facebook is an easy way to do it.

So much for this thing on a stick again

It's been a heck of a couple of months. I registered for More Things as I really wanted to get more technically and interntly (is that a word?) adept. Didn't happen. Due to budget cuts, my library system is cutting hours, and as a result, I spent a whole lot of the last couple of months working on schedules, and dealing with endless details on what needs to happen before and what will happen after the hours change. And of course it's been a little stressful. I can't even read lately--if it's a book that requires any type of thinking on my part, forget it. No concentration whatsoever. You know those cheesy little romances? Well, they have even been a struggle lately. It's the pits. And of course, in a little over a month, summer will be here, along with all the little darlings and their parents coming in to the library and keeping us busier than busy. And who knows? The new schedule has cut hours, which may make our "busy" into something out of a nightmare. I'm having trouble staying positive on this one.

But in the words of someone that should be famous if they aren't, "This too shall become a memory."


A few weeks ago (or probably longer, who knows?), I read THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY by Shaffer. It's an epistolary novel (I love that phrase and I love that style of book) and so well done. I felt I knew the characters by the time it ended. I've heard the book on cd is well done, also. I highly recommend it!
