Busy, busy, busy but somehow we find the time to let everyone know how busy we are

I recently started a new job that I LOVE! It makes my heart jump with excitement, just like when I find a pair of Carlos Santana sandals at Ross in  a size 6 (I'm still trying to get my butt back to a 6, but that is for my next blog) or when I  realize a new Ryan Gosling movie is being released. (Hey Ryan, if you are reading this, I adore you! I know I am older than you, but my husband supports my crush. Love, T2)

It's been wonderfully chaotic with the new job, and of course there is the chaos with the kids, furry people, the endless supply of laundry, and the "to do" list. Speaking of the to do list, it is starting to resemble a modern day version of War and Peace as it is quite lengthy.I have been slacking as of late with the blog, but somehow I find time to tweet, post, and update my status. Gosh, what did we do before social media?

As I was telling my kids the other day, there was a time when we didn't have cell phones to which my daughter responded with, "was that back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth?" Not quite. There was a time when you were running late that people found out you were late once you showed up. No cell phone to say, "I'm late." No text to say, "Running B-hind". And of course we couldn't update our FB status, LinkedIn status or tweet to everyone that, "traffic is a nightmare." Which leads me to the thought that my life is really exciting, eh? (I'm paying homage to my Canadian friends. Cheers!)
I just posted on FB that I wanted to know if people prefer crunchy or creamy peanut butter? Why? Am I in the process of building the world's largest peanut butter sandwich and  plan on tweeting the whereabouts of said sandwich? What about the people who are are allergic to peanut butter? Will they "unfriend" me? Last week I posted the question, "Name the most annoying band ever." My purpose? I am seeking a good laugh. People are funny when they are speaking off the cuff.
I think we are innately curious about others. Quirky stuff-it's what we find interesting. FB, twitter, and blogs help us share our creative side  and "bond" with others.

My kids saw a pay phone a few weeks ago and were mystified by this object. "Can we put $$$ in it Mommy?' I explained to them it was, sadly not a slot machine but a phone. It was a relic from the past that they found fascinating. Who knows what will exist when my 1 year old gets older? I don't know but hopefully they come up something better than LOL. GAG:)
