Have you found the joys of FACEBOOK yet?
I have had a Facebook account since roughly September, but I didn't really start using it until May. I had no desire to, I couldn't figure it out, and frankly I didn't have much time. But sometime in May someone who I haven't seen since junior high requested me as a "friend" on Facebook. From that moment on I was hooked trying to reconnect with every old friend I've ever had!
Yesterday, I got a "friend request" from one of my very good childhood friends. She and I were in private school together from 1st through 3rd grade. I was obviously so excited to reconnect...ah, the amazing joys of the internet. I gasped loudly and said "SHUT UP!! IT'S SHEBA!!!!" Ashlynne quickly came running to see what the gasp ws all about (she is really nosy) and the conversation went like this....
Me: (Gasp!) Shut up!! It's Sheba!!!!
Ashlynne: What?! Huh?! Who's that mommy?!
Me: Oh it's one of my childhood friends...she found me on facebook!
Ash: When were you guys friends...like high school or something?
Me: Nope, we were friends in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade
Ash: Really? So how do you remember her?
(Ashlynne will be a 3rd grader this year so I asked...)
Me: Well you remember friends from preschool and kindergarten still right?
Ash: Yeah, but I'm not 26 mom!!!
Apparently 26 (almost 27, thank you very much) is really, really old. So old in fact that it's even hard to remember things!! Just put me in the rest home now I guess.

Cute background. I'm still laughing about Ashlynne's comment!! :)
That is so funny! I really like reading your blog, it's like a free pass into your everyday life.
I found you through Mormon Mommy Blogs

I still haven't gotten into facebook that much. I just confirm friend requests and forget about it. I'm glad you found your old friend. I'm surprised you still remember her at YOUR age! J/K ;) Aren't kids funny?
Ummm Emily...how am I supposed to lurk on your page if you posted as anonymous? Please come back and let me know who you are. :)
Alida,
All kids think old is like 25 and up! So, whatever right? I know my kids think the same as her! I have never heard of facebook? I will check it out. Thanks April
WE'RE NOT THAT OLD ARE WE? NO SERIOUSLY, I HAD MY 8 YEAR OLD NEICE WITH ME IN THE CAR LAST WEEK, AND A "NEWER HIP" SONG CAME ON THE RADIO. WE BOTH WERE SINGING AT THE TOP OF OUR LUNGS AND I STARTED DANCING. SHE WAS SO EMBARASSED OF ME. THAT IS WHAT I USED TO SAY TO MY MOTHER. OH CRAP, MAYBE WE ARE OLD! J/K
I love facebook too, especially the games you can play against people, like challenge sudoku. I'll have to go look for you now.
