Technology

I once hated it. I cursed at computers (still do), yelled at cell phones dropping calls (still do) and have practically thrown the tv across the room. 

People say that technology kills relationships. It does. If not used correctly (um, can we say World of Warcraft ... ?) But ya know ... as always, I have my piece to say about this ... 

Without my beautiful Macbook, I would be so lost. It takes me seconds to look up whether Danika is supposed to have that bump where she got a shot. Or how long that cough should last. Or what the dosage for baby tylenol is for a 3 month old. I get to read about my bff from high school (hi Kira!) and her BEAUTIFUL baby boys and what a great mom she is now. I do a quick check on facebook (um...several times a ... hour) and see a picture of my college buddy (Hi Sarah!) sportin' a cute maternity top and showing off her cute belly! If I need a quick pick me up (hi mom!) I can *whooosh* open up ichat and have a cup of morning joe with my own momma and let her give me a talking to and pep talk. I get morning updates on my crafting blogs which give me tons of free patterns to sew for Danika- saving me HUNDREDS of dollars (kinda) ...

Do I go overboard on facebook? SURE I DO! It's fun and I get to know my friends just a little better and hear about their day and get advice from other mommies. I feel MORE connected to people than I did several years ago. I found my CBC girls and get to watch them grow in their different stages of life! I get to see wedding pictures from people who are hundreds of miles away that I would NEVER get to see in reality. And most importantly, I get that little beep on my cell phone and see a quick email from Nato letting me know he thinks I'm beautiful. Now who can say THAT is bad? 

It can be. Technology is one of those things ... too much of a good thing can be deadly. So get off your computer and kiss your hubby! (or your dog if his name is Jack, Peanut, Fletch, Banjo or any other)
