Response to a post

Comment to a post by Tolly, only it was too long to leave as a comment. She posted on the subject of feeling the need to document every. single. moment. in life and share it with the world via Twitter, Gowalla, her blog, etc:

Tolly, I hear you. Even when I'm not blogging, I'm busy facebooking my life or otherwise making my life known. When i go on vacation, I really do unplug from it all, and then when I get back people think I'm still on vacation from all the pictures I post! I would like to get that way in real life - even if only for a day, or a week, but, unfortunately, I get caught up into being plugged into at least ONE outlet. It's interesting I'm reading this just now, because I decided today to try and stop my constant checking online of any social media. I restricted access on my iphone to my browser, facebook app, and app store from my iphone, and guess what I haven't used any of them all day, except to look up types of birds and fowls for the boys. And read blogs. Which I haven't done in depth (as in actually think about responding and leaving comments) in a reallllly long time since I've been too busy checking other forms of social media in my spare moments.

Today

So many fantastic things happened today. I definitely want to remember them:

*Gave my first speech of my Public Speaking speech class and was shaking like a leaf. However, two of my peers came up to me after class and thanked me for what I said on love. Loved that!

*Met up with KT to get both her's and my car washed. Too fun!

*When I picked up the boys from school today the lady who says the kids name in the pick up lane already knew their name and then said it was the first one of the year she memorized. I cheered for her :) (and the fact that we were the first name she memorized).

*Justinbustin's teacher is the one who walks the boys to the car and she told me today through the car window that she read some of Justinbustin's writing today and then put her hand over her heart and made a "oh that's precious" face. At first, I didn't understand, then I said, "Yeah, his writing can be touching." Justinbustin later said it was because of the scrolly fancy way he writes his letters, but I don't think she would put her hand over her heart for that.

*Shawners gets in the cars and says, "You look sexy." when I'm in jeans and a tank top. He's a little mini-Brando.

*Received my financial aid check for school in the mail today.

*Received our vow renewal pictures in the mail today!

*Ice Cream S*cial for b*y sc*uts tonight

Sick to my stomach

Between Brando's b*nk being r*bbed this weekend and him having a g*n to his chest, and Justinbustin going off to camp this morning I am a wreck. I miss Justinbustin and while Brando is assuring me he's having a blast at camp, personally I have never been to one so I have NO idea what he's doing. With boy sc*uts at least I knew he was doing "man" stuff. This camp I have NOOO clue. I'm a little sick with worry and missing him.
