Thank the Lord it's finally Friday!!!! I am so glad to see the weekend. Here at work we are trying very hard to maintain a certain quota and Kyla has been killing me with day patients. It's all a good thing though so I shouldn't complain. Not much to report on this week and it hasn't been very eventful but my life is never dull that's for sure.
Recently I have been introduced to Twitter by my Mom and by others around me. I have really enjoyed it and all that it entails. The inner thoughts of celebrities and some of my friends are and have been a constant source of entertainment for me when I get bored either at work or at home. For those of you guys reading that have never heard of Twitter, it is a forum in which people write short thoughts to be displayed for all who "follow" them. I am new to it and am still learning so much, but it has been strange and fun.
We have so many resources for communication nowadays. It's insane if you think about it. Twenty years ago people didn't even have cell phones, now I know 10 year old's that have IPhones. People love gadgets so much that the market hasn't really dipped. I am just as guilty. I recently got an ITouch. Which is the IPhone just without the phone part. I love and use it every single day. Yet with all of this technology at our finger tips, are we actually losing touch? Families and friends now communicate through email, myspace, facebook, twitter, and lets not forget about texting. Where would we all be without our texting? I can't even remember how we all kept up with each other before texting. It is so convenient and simple in concept. In my family it's how we schedule everything. It is also how we keep up with my Uncle Clay and the race team. Each pass they make a time, speed, and ranking is sent to all on his list. Thank goodness, because it is so hard to talk to someone at the track to get info and the race on television is way behind. I have complete conversations with people in the same room with me through text messaging. (Yes Kas, I was talking about you) At work, we now call in sick or let someone know that you're late via text. It is so easy, but it is also less personal. I am always amazed that even though we have so many ways to get in touch with people that I can never seem to get anybody on the phone. LoL. There are some people that still use their phones like phones instead of PDA's. (Again, I'm guilty, I have a Blackjack II) I'm sure that some people miss hearing the sound of their loved ones voices. Sometimes I call people hoping for their voicemail just so that I don't have to have a conversation with them. Nice, huh? I love technology as long as it works, because when it doesn't it is just a pain to deal with.
An update on Grey Carter is much needed I think. He is getting so big so quick. Now 5 months old, he is holding onto things when you stand him up as well as rolling over very well now. We have had to train ourselves to buckle the straps in all his chairs because he can and will get out of them now. More and more of his personality is beginning to show through with all of his facial expressions, sounds, and movements when something happens. He loves seeing me in the afternoon when I first walk through the door home from work. And he surely loves his Daddy. Kasey called me last week and was laughing because Grey was talking and laughing at a picture of Nathan. Everything is so new to him and watching him look at things for the first time is so surreal. He is eating baby food pretty regular now. He often helps his Mommy while she is trying to feed him which, to me, is hilarious. He is so sweet. Anyways, hope all of you guys out there are enjoying this weather. Go text your loved ones.
