So can we expect temper tantrums and wobbly walking and cute talking? Maybe! I don’t know. I don’t think it relates well to human development. Bad metaphor. My blog is a libran.
In case you didn’t notice I have removed lots of pointless and fruitless advertising today. I have also reduced my tags to a little over a hundred. Not quite as reduced as I’d hoped, but still an improvement.
Right now I don’t know what to expect from anything. Exciting hey! Scary too. I think I am getting a little stir crazy, home alone. Tomorrow I am going to visit my brother and his family and take his kids out for a movie, or some junk food, or what ever it is little kids like these days. I love kids. They are fun and in the moment, just what I need. Yes, I am not a great Auntie, I’m doing this for me.
I am feeling much restored after spending the day mostly in bed. My mum brought me magazines, soup and bread. She’s a treasure. I am probably the only Victorian who doesn’t know who won the ‘Grand Final’ – I wonder how long that will last.
Tag Dag
I am spending a day in bed with my laptop. Romantic hey! I need to have a semi rest day. I will be making some changes to my blog so I apologise if it is annoying in any way. My last post was my 400th and I have 277 tags. Ridiculous! I thought so too! So I am going to fix this.
I have spent a little time on Facebook these holidays and have added some old friends as well as a couple of new ones. It’s great to find people I know and after the discussion I had earlier in the week, think I might use these tools to stay in touch with friends as the younger lot are.
When you are in your 40s though, many of your friends are not on Facebook, or any other social networks that I can find. Yesterday I called an old friend who I haven’t seen for around 4 years. I have a small pile of his stuff that I have uncovered in this cleaning frenzy I’ve been in. I am dropping it off to him today whilst I am in Melbourne. I have attempted to find him on Facebook. Somehow I had lost his details. Possibly a dysfunctional mobile phone that I’d been using at the time. Fortunately I found a piece of paper with his details on it. The whole experience made me realise how easy it is to lose track of friends. We all have busy lives.
Facebook has had some negative press, as have many other social networking sites. It all comes back to the individual user though really. If you are in it to get the largest number of friends or making all your details open to the public, you could encounter an invasion of privacy. I would argue it is one that you have invited.
