I'm out

I'm leaving in a couple hours and will be gone for a week. I'm taking the lovely bus today from Boston to Albany. Will get to Albany at 3:50p. My mom will be waiting for me there to drive 2.5 hrs to her house, it's about an hour SE of Syracuse, assuming the weather is good. She lives in the middle of nowhere so there's always more snow to deal w/. She's nice to pick me up in Albany because if I take it closer to her house it's just a nightmare. We stop at every little town inbetween and a 5-hour drive by car turns into 8-9 hrs.

Then tomorrow will start the second leg of the trip. We will drive about 9 hours west to my brother's in Michigan. A 2-day journey for me. Yuck! I would rather just fly but my mom wants to drive and not alone so I have spend more time traveling instead of w/ my niece and nephew. I hate to waste vacation days for traveling but I guess it's not so bad since I get 4 weeks of vacation a year and have trouble using it all up.

Anyway, will get to MI Friday afternoon and then have until we leave Tuesday morning to hang w/ my 2.5 year old niece and 1 year old nephew. I haven't seen them since Easter :0(

I'm not sure how much internet access I'll have when I'm there but if I have some I'll try and post.

I hope my girls don't have too much fun w/out me this weekend!

RobReed HATES that I use Facebook

I just started recently but I didn't expect to spend much time w/ it. I knew I had friends on it but I just wasn't interested. I have my own weblog so who needs Facebook.

I got 'invited' by my friend Andrew, very random, we took a summer class together. I joined and thought that would be it but since then I've accumulated some friends and actually do stuff w/ it everyday. It's pretty useless stuff but it's very easy to deal w/ so I end up doing it. It is a good way to keep in touch w/ people that you might not otherwise but since it's in this centralized place you can manage things easily and quickly.

My little comeback to RR is that I have my blog address on my profile so Facebook can hopefully increase my viewership.

Most of the Facebook interactions w/ my friends are not possible w/ my blog. I can only just keep posting and hope someone reads and spend some time w/ my site on a regular basis so people have a reason to keep coming back. So I'll still need Facebook to keep up w/ the friends.

Anyway, Facebook is in the news and it's not a good thing.
