The Land of the Unknown - Facebook

I caved. Like totally caved nasty style. John isn't going to let me live it down. I had dinner with Teresa on Friday night (which by the way I'll talk about later) and she was going on about all our high school friends on Facebook.

I must admit I was curious myself. So on Saturday night (we stayed home that night), John and I ventured into the land of Facebook. We were pretty intrigued-I would say he more than I- and decided to open an account. After opening the account, I was overwhelmed with all the stuff on the website. We invited friends and hoped for the best.

Needless to say, all of our friends found us and it was a pretty fun thing. Now as you know I am not a great keeper-upper of all things blog and website stuff. So I will try to do my best.

By the way SNL sucked this weekend.

3:30 am and I was still typing

Double Woot! I finished the sequel to Tempting Fate on Sunday morning. I typed for a couple of hours late Saturday night and ended up typing for about six hours. Yeah I'm crazy but its done!

Now I just have to go through it and add stuff and do some editing. I can't wait! FYI, I just checked Lulu and my books been downloaded 1732 times and I've had over 4000 hits! I am truly stoked and can't wait to share the second book with everyone.

I know, I know.....

I'm a horrible blogger person for not keeping up with my posts. I think it's the winter that is making me so blah! (I've gotten plenty o' reading done-think like 2 books a week on average)

I can try to recap what's been going on lately:

1) Two of my very good friends have gotten themselves engaged - to each other! Woot! There wedding will be in October (great time for a wedding, if I do say so myself) and I am a bridesmaid! Double Woot!

2) Still trekking it to the gym, no I have not lost anything but I am happy to say I'm still at my lowest weight since high school.

3) I am about 75% done writing my second book. Writing it, that is, not proofing or rewriting, etc. So really, I'm about 50% done. I'm stoked about that!!!!

4) John and I will finally be making the road trip to Colorado for the biggest camping trip I've ever been on. We'll be camping there 4 nights, we will see if I survive the wilds of Colorade. I think that if I can survive the hills of Indiana, Colorado should be a piece of cake...right? right?

Those are the biggest highlights so far. Honorable mentions -

a) I've started my wedding scrapbook and have a whopping total of 4 pages! Not very creative pages but decorated none the less.

b) My wonderful in-laws finally decided to give in a bought a flat screen TV. YEAH!! Their old TV was ready to kick the bucket, if it hadn't done so already.

c) My sister decided to move in with her boyfriend. :) I wish her nothing but the best.

Welp, hopefully I can update the blog more often with other more interesting stuff. I hope to get more pictures up too.

Edith out!

Friday - Joke O' the Week

A SHORT LOVE STORY


A man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train.

Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower. At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,..........

'Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold.'

'I have a better idea,' she replied 'Just for tonight,...... let's pretend that we're married.'


'Wow!.....That's a great idea!', he exclaimed.

'Good,' she replied. .............'Get your own darn blanket.'

After a moment of silence, ......................he farted.


The End
