Moving Boxes

Forget all the fancy toys and electric gadgets.

Throw away the silly bandz and turn off the computer games. 

It took this move (and I'm not one to complain but I really do not like moving) to discover ... 

... that my kids can entertain themselves for hours (and I do mean hours) ... 

... with a couple of boxes and a broom (and their big imaginations). 

Evites: A Cautionary Tale

Did you know that when you get an Evite, the "hostess" can see exactly when you log in to read the invitation?

And she will feel snubbed for sure when you log out without replying "Yes, I'll be there!" or "Sorry, I can't make it".

Not committing at all is almost worse than saying "Sorry, I can't make it," right?

What happened to the old fashioned paper invitations we used to receive in the mail? We could put them up on the bulletin board and sleep on it before making any sort of decision, and no one was the wiser.

I'm as committed to technological advances as the next guy, until I recently threw a party via Evite and could see in real time exactly who was riding the fence on coming to my shin-dig.

Come to think of it, it's kind of like having a blog. (Don't worry, I can't see specifically WHO reads or doesn't, just how many!)
