Stuff I'm doing...

I've just about had it with "Facebook Friends". Periodically I go through my Friends list and weed people out. Last week I totally deactivated my account for a few days. It was so liberating! But I have a new rule. If I don't really know you and you like to write offensive things on my profile or post obnoxious statuses. I will just delete you. I'm so through debating these people on everything from rain to Obama and everything in between.

I mean it's MY profile right? My name is on it. I will post and for that matter VIEW what I damn well please. And these people I have on my friends list who have NEVER even once corresponded with me. They are going to go as well. Personally I don't feel validated by having a large number of friends on Facebook. And I'm also just not that nosey. If I don't care about you enough to talk to you I really don't want to see you on vacation or what little Sally is doing. I just don't care that much.

Now, please don't misunderstand me. Just because I delete you doesn't mean I feel any ill will towards you AT ALL. In fact, maybe if you sent me a nice message once in a while we could fall back in to Facebook Friends good graces. Until then....

Let's see what's next. Oh with a tip from my friend Jeannie I have started reading the book The Secret. So far it's pretty interesting. My interpretation of it is that you have to start thinking more positively and good things will happen. I have ALWAYS believed that. My whole life I've tried to think positive about people, jobs, relationships. Have any of you heard of it or read it?

I'll keep you updated on the book and what changes I may make as a result of reading it! I think weeding out negative forces on Facebook is one result!!

Easter is just a few days away, and I can't wait to celebrate with the Family. I hope you all have a great Easter!!

I forgot about this blog.

That may sound like a silly name for a blog post. But I had originally created this blog so that I would have some outlet for what I was thinking. Isn't it funny, how I never have time to post much less remembering it's even there? Well, I'll just ramble...and we'll see where it goes.

Life sure does get away from you. I'm going to be 38 this year. I really never thought I'd make it this far! :) I'm what I used to consider old. I no longer feel that way!! Now I consider 100 old!

So my point is....Evan has a blog that I keep up fairly regularly, yet this one I totally forgot about. So typical I guess. Although I do hate the term "Me Time". Not sure why that is. But I can feel a difference when I've had some time to get away and not be "Mommy".

To be honest not much has been bugging me lately. Can you believe it? I know...nutty. I'm at peace with most things in my life. There are few relationships I'd like to bring closure to. Some family, some just personal. But how do you do that? If you are at odds with someone and there seems to be no way to resolve it what do you do? Are there people in your life that you just have to write off. I think that's true for some, but family? How do you do that when you have history. It's something I struggle with. I'm very lucky right now, I have zero to no conflict in my life. The friends that I choose to spend my time with are genuine and good people. As we get older I think we get better at weeding out the "bad eggs"! At least I like to think so.

I'm totally stoked about summer. The Kiracofe family has a very busy summer. Chris is still in Afghanistan and will be until Junish/Julyish/Augustish!! That's the Marine Corps for you!! We plan on going to N.C. to welcome him home whenever that is. June 1st we are going to Hawaii for 2 weeks. And then of course our Annual 2 weeks in Corolla. Our family really looks forward to that. It's our time to just unplug from the outside world and enjoy our time together. This will be our 4th year in Corolla. Corolla is not for everyone. It's a really quiet place, but it has a fair amount of stuff to do. We love it and can't even think of staying anywhere else. So Evan will get to see a lot this summer! Let's hope I make it through.

So, ok, that was totally random. I promise to be more focused in the future....or not!
