i remember when facebook just began

does that make me old? maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. regardless, I was going through an old junk-email of mine (the one in my maiden name that i use to sign up for things online) (the one that i check once in a blue moon to delete the million emails i get about junk) (the one that i USED TO actually use) and i found this......... an email sent to my friend celia in new zealand, telling her all about facebook and asking her to join........ lol.
LOL.
.... almost 6 years ago, SIX YEARS AGO!!!!

lol-ing over here.
oh the joy of going through old emails. was i really that dorky? maybe i'll post a few more later........ you know, for your enjoyment.

oh and in case you are wondering where i've been. and why i just post mini blogs of pictures of romes, well, i'm here. i'm alive.

but i've almost drown multiple times in my swarming sea of "crazy busy job/finishing my masters degree and graduating in may/trying to be a new mom/baby who strangely doesn't sleep very well anymore/and i have a messy house"
yep, that sea.
but don't worry. i've just found a floaty and it's called...........my countdown.
til graduation? 30 days.
til work is over for the summer? 49 days.

and to go with my floaty is a fake tan. yep. i'm fake tanning. and it makes me feel better, judging? go ahead :) girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
........plus it's 15 minutes to just lay there, and not have to think about anything. it's peaceful (and the tanning salon plays country music, so i get to catch up on the latest honky tonk. padonkadonk, sorry, had to)
