I feel like life has been passing me by! I have finally joined Facebook, and discovered a whole new cult of friendship! It is a crazy, interesting and fun place to be! However I am spending waaaay too much time on the computer! I...Must...Control....Internet.....Urges.....(My new mantra of the day). As I am home recuperating from my surgery (of a week ago), I have virtually no duties to perform giving me LOTS of free time to play on the 'net. Facebook is really quite amazing. I could spend hours, but I have to tear myself away to walk around and do SOMETHING other than sit at the 'puter! I used to be considered quite "cutting edge" back in the day, but now that I'm a parent (and over 40) I guess I am slowly slipping down that slippery slope of "uncoolness". Ah well, at least the girls in my Girl Scout Troop still think I'm "cool". They are all 4th graders, and I did hold my regularly scheduled meeting last night. In hindsite I should have cancelled it and stayed home to rest, but I wanted to get out and do something. I missed them, and I feel like a mother hen to them. Some of them have been in my Troop since, well, 5 years now. I figured how bad could it be with 10 4th grade girls for 2 hours? I was pale and utterly  exhausted after that meeting last night! They sucked the life right out of me! And they were actually well behaved. I guess I need a little more time to recover. 2 weeks until our next meeting. I should be good to go by then. Those girls do make me laugh though! (Yep, still hurts to laugh!) Love 'em to bits. They were dying to see my stitches, but I wouldn't show them. Not that I'm shy, but I didn't want any parental disapproval going on. Stitches are about a hand's width below my septum. I think the girls would have been disappointed anyways as it was nothing gory. You know how kids are, they are repulsed and fascinated by the gory stuff. I think that goes for a lot of adults too.  More later.
