FaceBook Update

Oh, see now, my last post was complaining about Facebook...and this morning I posted a link to RebelHousewife.com on my FB wall, so that all my old friends that I have reconnected with in the last week can come visit and check it out...only to see me complaining about Facebook!
Of course, I didn't mean any of YOU!
I have trolled the Facebook in the last couple of weeks. I connected with my GCA (Georgia Cyber Academy) groups, which was the whole point, and my GCA friend in Columbus (hey, Tamee!) - she's a hoot, as they say down here in The South (capitalized) and a huge help with this homeschooling (kind of) thing. I discovered family all over the place, even my mother-in-law, which is just...weird. But a good weird. My 7th grade daughter Friended me back, which is very cool. I didn't even send a request to my 9th grade son -- as if I could take that kind of rejection. (Actually, having Facebooking teens is one of the best reasons to be on it.)
And then there is the whole high school crowd, from North Kitsap High School in Poulsbo, Washington (Class of 1985). I started searching out to see if there was going to be a 25th reunion this summer (there is) and ended up finding a trio of my very best friends from high school. Wow. For someone who has not been back to the past in 15 years (made it to the 10th reunion, but nothing since) and hasn't kept up, it is really interesting and wonderful to see my very best girlfriends, now women, with husbands and children and adult lives just like my own. I went so far away after high school and college and getting married, Washington State to Florida to Atlanta, I completely lost touch.
25 years later...it's a shock, it really is.
