I love this quote about facebook from a slate.com article.

“In theory, a huge number of friends means you’re really, really popular. In reality, the omnidirectionally friendly typically strike us as untrustworthy and maybe even a little lame.”

Is it weird to anyone else that when you see people quote the Bible – there are only a few books people quote from?  Even during homilies and what not.  For example, you see the book of Job quoted often.  John, Corinthians, Peter, Chronicles, Ezra (lots of Gospels).  Psalms and Proverbs too.  A lot from the NT.

What about all of those other books from the OT?  All of those stories.  IDK, kind of makes me wonder.

Weird what I think about at 1 in the morning.

I guess I should say, damn you AT&T.  They’re the ones giving the upgrades.  *sigh*  Whatever.

My iPhone 3G is just fine.  Just, just, fine.

I don’t quite understand how this is possible, since my contract isn’t up this year.

Damn you Apple.

Gotta tell ya, Apple is so insanely good at making you want what you never thought you needed.

But alas, I don’t literally, need it. Need and desire are very different, eh?

Like I said, I won’t be getting the new iPhone 4.  Even if apple wants me to.

Sad.

So I really haven’t taken any good pictures lately.  Maybe I have lost my inspiration.  Who knows, but honestly, they kind of suck.  Oh well.  Here goes, anyway.

So, the reason I haven’t posted in 100 years is mainly because I’ve been sick.  Like I said, last Friday Erik and I went with my friend Jen to get her a new puppy.  The weekend was good.  We didn’t do anything too overly interesting.  I had a bridal shower to go to on Saturday for Brandon’s cousin Kristin (who I’ve actually known since I was probably about 14-15).  I managed to get a couple of shots, but like I said, my pictures suck right now.

Kristin is obviously the one in the coral-ish color.  It was a nice shower, anyway.  : )

Then Saturday night Erik spent the night at Brandon’s mother’s house.  So, we ended up with an unexpected date night.  No plans and an empty house meant that Brandon and I went and got some yummy wine and stuff for ice cream sundaes.  And of course a couple of movies.  Avatar, anyone?  -oh and in case you were wondering, the wine was from Goose Watch and it was Rose of Isabella, totally yummy, we drank the whole bottle

Sunday we spent a quiet evening at home.  I got sick Sunday night, very badly.  My stomach was not doing well – I have a very sensitive stomach to say the least.  After being up till around midnight getting sick I finally passed out.  I did feel a little better Monday, but still ended up laying in bed most of the day.  I wasn’t inspired to write anything that day, or take pictures.  My apologies.

Yesterday though I did take a couple of shots.  Brandon and I have commenced the work we promised we would do over the winter.  As we don’t appear to be the best people at sticking to our words – especially when it involves actually spending money – we didn’t work on the boat at all so we are having to do it now.  Unfortunately, it won’t start, so lots of work must be done.  We haven’t spent any time on the lake this year so far, and it is honestly, just, sad.

Oh silly boat.

When Brandon and I were working on the boat last night, Erik decided he was going to walk Logan.  Ha, I know, right?  So, Logan walked Erik.

Don’t worry, he was fine, promise.

Well as today as been horribly rainy and unexciting, alas, no pictures again, today.  I do however have a few more shots, but, no story to go with them, so just, enjoy.  Even though, honestly, they’re bad.  I’m just warning you now.

Oh – I do have a couple more pictures with a story.  A few weeks ago Ashley asked Erik if he would like some of her pear.  She of course thought he would since the kid likes fruit more than he does candy, or chocolate, or cake, or well, most everything.  Anyway, he said no.  He didn’t like pears.  He of course has never had them.  Typical kid.  Well, when we are the store not that long ago, he decided he liked pears and wanted to buy some.  Again, he had never tried them, but, whatever.  So, he tried them, and guess what?!  He likes them.  Surprised?  Yea, us either.

I had to take pictures for physical evidence, of course.

Alright, I have to go read my Bible.  I finished reading the book I bought on my nook before vacation.  It was called Pillars of the Earth. Very good.  I highly recommend it.

I wasn’t lucky enough to be there, but here is a shot of Erik riding yesterday that Ash sent me. He of course loves it.

Brandon said he felt that people may feel we might have died. I don’t know if I have gone so long without posting before.

I have no idea what has gone on really. There has been no reason to not post.

So, here are a few phone pictures I have. Erik and I went shopping for a puppy with Jen on Friday. And here she is. Beautiful Lizzy.

Today is one of those stay in bed and watch movies days.  I could say that is what we have done, but as I have so much bloody reading to do, Erik has stayed in bed and watched movies while I have sit in much pain at this horrible desk.

Anyone want to buy us a new desk chair?

And oh yea, it really hurts my back, too (yes, my back still hurts).

I do however, have some happy pictures to share.

Before we left Florida my dear niece Simone painted all our nails.  Including Caitlyn.  I hope someday if we ever live near Caitlyn I can steal her for girly days where we paint our nails and do fun stuff.  And of course I’ll dress her up.

So I know I’ve mentioned before that we have a slightly deranged cat.  She always tries to clean us.  Well, last night I finally caught it on camera.

It creeps me out, but it appears the boys have a little more stamina than poor old me.

Well, as we have had to turn the stove on now today (I can’t believe it’s not snowing), there isn’t much grand picture taking opportunities.  I did, however, get to snap some shots of my boy loving his boy.

I’m so happy Erik has at least someone to play with.

So without further ado, I must be off to read the Bible.  I’m almost done with Genesis (yayayayayay).

Brandon’s face pretty much sums up the way I’m feeling, though.

That’s his grumpy I’m yelling at Erik face.  He was literally yelling at Erik.  Swear.  : )
