You may be A Facebook Stalker IF...

So, before Facebook made stalking us seem like a socially acceptable hobby, we actually had something called privacy! hah. Just recently though, facebook decided to up the ante on the facebook stalker accessability scale. I didn't think this was possible. They proved me wrong.

While I haven't taken the time to explore all of facebooks so called improvements, one thing that popped out at me right away was the new "facebook news ticker". This allows you to see what your friends are doing in real time.

If it wasn't bad enough that we already have those awkward conversations on the phone where someone will say something about you or something you did recently and you think, how did they know that? you may even ask, "how did you know!?" and their reply will almost always be, "i saw it on facebook"

This has become increasingly irritating for me even though I know I can't really blame anyone but myself. Everything you do on facebook is out there to be seen for all who are interested.I know this when I write on my friends wall, comment on a post, "like" something, etc etc. But is it absolutely WRONG of me to expect there to be some unspoken facebook ettiquit? Your pretty much letting me know, "hey I'm a creeper and I watch everything you do on facebook, even when it has nothing to do with me!" whenever you comment or "like" a post that i left on my friends wall, even more so if that person isn't even a mutual friend of ours. But that is just one example and I'm sure the list will grow now that facebook has "improved".

So I decided to make this list:
"You might be a Facebook Stalker IF.."
1. you might be a facebook stalker if you "like" or comment a post that i've written on my significant others profile.

2. you may also be a facebook stalker if you took the same above actions and applied them to any friends I may have on facebook. Just take *note* that if I'm commenting on THEIR wall, the message most likely was NOT intended for you, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

*there are always exceptions but a majority of the time its just awkward*
*being that persons mom or dad, does not mean this rule doesn't apply to you.. You are actually the most prone to becoming A facebook stalker of your children. (MOM!) lol

3. You may be a facebook stalker if you already know what somebody wants to tell you before they get the chance to (because they told someone else and you were snooping!)

4. You ARE a facebook stalker if you then let them know that you already knew what they are trying to tell you because you read it on facebook. AGAIN you should be ashamed of yourself! Do yourself a favor and if your going to go snooping around people's profiles, don't let them know about it! That makes you even more socially awkward and will make the person whom your talking to want to punch you in the face. Most friends won't punch you in the face though, but instead, block you from their facebooks, not want to talk to you anymore, or just *gasp* delete you from their facebook.

So there you have it. 4 BIG NO NO'S that are in my opinion, just not okay. I'm leaving the list open to all of my friends now. Please take a moment to add to this list! you have to have a pet peeve when it comes to facebookers who cross the line ;)Share it! add it onto the list, then pass it on so others can do the same!

take care facebook peeps <3 and if you sat here and read this feeling guilty, then you may be a facebook stalker! lol (there's a Tshirt you should buy one and warn us all)

C.G. Ward Photography: Regarding the facebook "Breast Cancer Awareness Games"

C.G. Ward Photography: Regarding the facebook "Breast Cancer Awareness Ga...: **NOTE SEPT 2nd 2011, 2:55 pm eastern time. I am overwhelmed at the response I recieved from this blog entry. I never imagined in a million ...

I wanted to re blog this and share with all of you because this woman proves a really good point!

I could understand posting your bra color. But the games that have followed that game are pointless and have absolutely NOTHING to do with breast cancer awareness.

This blog even opened up my eyes a little bit even though I already agreed with her from the get go. She talks about a lot of different things that never even crossed my mind before reading her entry.

So do yourself a favor and check out the link.. and next time you get a FB email telling you to post how many weeks "pregnant" you are and what your "craving" you will realize how silly, and ridiculous it really is.. At least that's why I never participated.. but apparently it's also hurtful.. so I'm feeling even more justified in my decision not to play these so called breast cancer awareness games ;-) So just read the blog post and you'll understand what I mean.

ehmm....

so uhh just realized how freaking silly it is to have 3 different blogs when I can just have ONE with EVERYTHING from Matt, Analise, Reese, and myself. lol WTH? oh well.. I guess it's my unorganized way of being OCD (haha) at least it feels unorganized, even though everything has its own place.

So, just to be clear I have this blog, I also have my son's blog at matthewsmomm.blogspot.com and Reese's Blog at jillbitlle.blogspot.com (yes i spelled my own name wrong in my URL.. Freakin A man..) lol oh ya! I also have thecrazybittles.blogspot.com Do you think I have enough Blogs? I wish there was a way to just put everything into ONE BLOG with several different categories within that one blog. Does anyone know how I might go about doing this? I wouldn't want to start all over.. I'd actually just like to combine all of the ones i already have. lol OO you know what i'll do? I'll add links! woohoo! go me.

annnnnd im done rambling. THANK YOU!

Pregnancy Brain

Yes.. I promise you, this is real, and it has taken me on FULL FORCE! I swear I have been the clumsiest, most FORGETFUL pregnant woman.. and there can be no other explanation.

Saturday my husband and I decided to go for a drive and upon returning I took my daughter out of her car seat, house keys in hand, unlocked the front door and went straight to the bathroom (another pregnancy perk!) leaving my husband and son in the dust. I’m pretty sure they made it into the house by the time I was stepping out of the bathroom lol.

A few hours later I realized that I needed to run to the store to return some redbox movies that I kept forgetting to grab every time I’d leave the house.(I refused to be charged for one more day) Except there was one problem.. I couldn’t find the car keys ANYWHERE. Retracing my steps from our last outing I recalled unlocking the front door and heading straight to the bathroom.. they weren’t in there, and they weren’t in the door.. The keys weren’t in their usual spots either..

I asked my husband if he had them, or if he knew where they were.. He did not have them, and he was just as stumped as I was. So he asked me when the last time i had them was and I told him.. we actually retraced my steps, but this time, Hubby looked somewhere I had never even thought of.. The trashcan in the bathroom! I HAD THROWN THE CAR KEYS IN THE TRASH! wow.. that’s a first. We certainly had a laugh, and I finally got to return those stinking movies after 30 minutes of searching.. This ladies, is why my husband is the best. :-P HAHA

Later that weekend, 6am Sunday morning to be exact, My daughter woke up, empty bottle in hand. When I walked into her bedroom to change her diaper etc. She handed me this empty bottle with an expression on her face like, “just get the milk, and nobody gets hurt”

So I left her room and headed downstairs to fill up her bottle, Only to slip and fall down the stairs on my butt. Thankfully, It was only 10 steps and there was no tumbling involved ;-) Little Baby Girl is fine, I walked away with an achey back and a pulled muscle in my leg.

Finally, This happened not 15 minutes ago when I ordered A Quizno’s Sub. I told the girl over the phone that our address was 972, when really it is 927. I had her driving up and down our street looking for 972.. After she called me twice telling me she couldn’t find the place, I stepped outside and tried giving her directions, When I saw her driving by I said, “i see you I’m standing outside” she stopped and said… “Ohh your 927! you told me 972!” WOW….. boy did I feel stupid.. And here I was thinking this delivery girl was directionally challenged. After apologizing 3 or 4 times and tipping her larger than I think I’ve ever tipped a delivery person, She went on her way.. Hopefully, they’ll still deliver to me! And yes, I let her know that it was the pregnancy brains fault, not mine. ;-)

For the love of Art

For those of you who think you recognize me,
Let me introduce you to my artistic personality,
Not of myself but of something else,
Someone else completely,
Sometimes representing a silence in the midst of screams,
Other times a Godly image I've seen in my dreams,
None of which make me who I am,
Only what I see or feel,
None of which is ever truly Real,
Except to maybe... me.
An alternate personality to express that which cannot be expressed in reality.
Some of you are far too judgmental.
Some of you are scared of what you don't understand,
Some of you are so wrapped up in your own lives that you have no idea the beauty that surrounds you.
Some of you have no idea that your not the only one.
Everyone has depth,
Only not everyone will accept it or portray it in such ways that an artist may chose.
Nobody ever became recognized because of their sanity.
Remember that.

Don't get your knickers in a knot. Nothing is solved and it just makes you walk funny. ~Kathryn Carpenter

I've been doing some looking up of the quotes tonight and found myself wanting to share them with everyone as if they too, are lovers of a good quote. With how many I've been finding, I didn't want to post them all over Facebook, which is what I would normally do, and I thought to myself, why not on my blog?

So.. Here are some worth while quotes, in my opinion. I hope you enjoy!





"Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it." ~Vincent Van Gogh, 1889


"The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy." ~Jim Rohn


"Any emotion, if it is sincere, is involuntary." ~Mark Twain


"When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion." ~Dale Carnegie


"Logic: The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding." ~Ambrose Bierce


Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith. ~Author Unknown


As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit. ~Emmanuel


Sometimes, as practice for trying to convince myself that God exists, I try to convince my shadow that the sun exists. ~Robert Brault


Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death. ~Author Unknown


Though the circular round-and-round of routine be the bulk of life's affairs, make an occasional jutting diversion - of fun, love, or something that will outlast you - so the shape and motion of your life shall resemble the round lifegiving sun with bright rays shining forth from all directions. ~Terri Guillemets


Now that it's all over, what did you really do yesterday that's worth mentioning? ~Coleman Cox


You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him. ~Leo Aikman


Always when judging
Who people are,
Remember to footnote
The words "So far."
~Robert Brault


Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. ~Theodore Roosevelt


I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.... People think pleasing God is all God care about. But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back. ~Alice Walker, The Color Purple, 1982


Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself. ~Elbert Hubbard


Never explain. Your friends do not need it and your enemies will not believe it anyway. ~Elbert Hubbard, A Thousand and One Epigrams, 1911


Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out by mistake. ~Pooh's Little Instruction Book, inspired by A.A. Milne


Don't get your knickers in a knot. Nothing is solved and it just makes you walk funny. ~Kathryn Carpenter

A time for Art

Many of you know that I'm an extremely creative person. I don't think I've ever gone a day without using art in some form. I love to paint and create, photograph, anything really. I'll be posting some photos of some of the artwork I've done on here soon. I love sharing my artwork with others.. Not for their opinion so much as just so i feel my artwork has a purpose other than self gratification, To be seen!

My polyvore link is also at the top of my blog page if you'd like to look at those as well. It's the strip of pictures right below my blog title. It's really very fun! Almost like making a collage, but the possibilities for creating a piece of art really are endless!

Until next time!

Here are some photos that i've taken that I'm pretty proud of..
