Well, two of them are. The third I see maybe once a year (baby of the family, lives in a world of her own).<br /><br />While Tom and I were heading south in June, I discovered that my CrackBerry could be used to access Facebook. Up to that point, fb was something that I saw as useless. Had to sit in front of the computer to use it, and that's just too much trouble. But that evening I discovered that it's FUN.<br /><br />My two sisters fb'd me for hours as we drove through the night. It was so much fun! At one point, one of their daughters dropped in with a "My God, you people talk a lot!" It was so cool to be able to communicate with them from such a distance.<br /><br />If I want to use fb at home, it's in front of the computer, and it's a total timesuck (no cell service at home; WV mountains, you know). But caught in that car speeding through the night with my Crack in hand, it opened a whole new world for me.<br /><br />For the next five weeks, that Crack was with me every moment. I became a slave to it. Willingly. The Keys are on a 3g network and I could stay up all night fbing friends and family.<br /><br />Yeah, we could actually talk to each other, but since no one knows how to do conference calls (and since I absolutely HATE talking on the phone) it was so cool to be able to joke and laugh with them through fb. <br /><br />My two sisters spent a week with us in Marathon, not nearly long enough (while the baby just happened to be vacationing in Daytona with her *friends* instead of with us), we fb'd all summer. I loved it.<br /><br />And now we've bought our dream house* in the Keys and I'll be able to take advantage of that 3g network all the time. I won't move down till next June, but that Crack will be with me every step of the way.<br /><br />*Dream house = a foreclosed-on property that we fell in love with during the summer and wanted to buy, but we couldn't till we sold our place. It went up for auction last weekend and by some fancy financial finagling, we GOT IT! Now we'll have to pour another $75,000 into it and it'll actually be a dream rather than a nightmare.<br /><br />Woohoo!!! We have a pool! It's filled with green goo right now, but soon it'll be sparkling clean. Come on down (once we have guest rooms and a decent bathroom) and sit by the pool with me! I'll provide the drinks.ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670685934653870752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252722835744025043.post-47414818041100425092009-09-18T09:48:46.673-05:002009-09-18T09:48:46.673-05:00anytime, that's what i'm here for. i basi...anytime, that's what i'm here for. i basically patrol the blogoverse.<br />(and rly- my reading comprehension depends on reading closely, i can't skim)Uptown Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165329275276443330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8252722835744025043.post-90381463825817540482009-09-18T09:41:33.854-05:002009-09-18T09:41:33.854-05:00U-Girl, THANK YOU!

I can't imagine "growing up" someday and not living closeby. Who would put my outfits together? Who would lend me jewelry? Who would give my boytoys the 3rd degree?<br />Almost no one can "get" me quite like my sister... and even tho she gets my sense of humor she still rolls her eyes.<br />I loved this post Urban Mom!Uptown Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165329275276443330noreply@blogger.com
