Okay now that I have some time I can tell all of you just why I hate Facebook so much.
There are several reasons really; I don't understand what all the poking, hugs, hearts, sweets, flair...and all of that stuff is. Can someone please explain? I hate that when I open my email I have 50 messages from Facebook about who changed what and why. If someone writes on my "Wall" (whatever that means) I am notified through email. If someone sends me a "Pok" I get an email. If someone changes their profile picture I get an email. Like I really need to know if someone changes their profile picture. Now my guess is that I can change some settings and make it so I don't get so many emails updating me on every tiny little thing someone does on Facebook but since the site is not user friendly (IMO) I have no idea how to do this. All of this is annoying to me but what's worse is...Whenever I get a friend request I feel like if I know who the person is I have to confirm the request because I don't want to be rude. (By the way, anybody who would be reading my blog is someone I wanted to be friends with on Facebook. I just wanted to clear that up because I LOVE all of you and didn't add you to my Facebook account just because I felt obligated. Oh, and I don't mind getting your poks, flair, hugs, sweets....I just don't understand what it all means!) I can admit that it's kind of been nice to get back in touch with SOME people who don't know about my blog. I say SOME people because there is one major exception.
Back in jr. high and high school I had what some people might call a stalker and by 'some people' I mean me. He was harmless enough but after 4 1/2 years of creepy weird guy following me around and staring at me, it got old. I tried to be nice to weird stalker guy but I think that gave him the wrong impression. I tried to be blunt with the stalker guy but he didn't get that either. Basically, by the time I was done with high school I never wanted to see weird stalker guy again and if I did, it would be too soon.
Fast forward to about a month ago when I opened my brand new Facebook account. About a week into entering the world of Facebook, I get a lovely email from Facebook saying someone wants to be my friend. Guess who it is? If you said weird stalker guy, you're right! I decided I would confirm the friend request because hey, it's been 9 years. I'm sure he's a mature adult now who won't give me the heebbie geebies. Several weeks went by and I didn't hear anything from weird stalker guy. I thought things were going smoothly. Then, it comes out of nowhere. The other night I logged onto my Facebook account and began reading what some people wrote on my wall. Nothing out of the ordinary. Until, I hear a little bell sound and a window pops up in the right hand corner of my computer screen. Apparently this window is how one would instant message on Facebook. Guess who wanted to talk....yep, you guessed it. I would have been fine with this because, like I said it's been 9 years and we're all adults right? Wrong. Weird stalker guy just wanted to let me know he was 'newly single'. This creeped me out a bit. Mike found it very amusing.
In the end, I decided that being "friends" with weird stalker guy just wasn't going to work out and I deleted him from my friends list. However, even though he's creepy and weird, I still feel bad I deleted him, crazy as that seems. So this really long story is the reason I hate Facebook.
There. Now I feel better.

Catching up
We have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to blogging! I know it's a little late but here are some things that have been going on in our little world. Warning...major picture overload!
Christmas Eve we finally were able to turn Mylie around in her car seat so she was forward facing. This made for a very happy little girl!
We've had fun playing in the snow...and of course eating the snow. YUM!
We've had fun playing with our Christmas toys. This one took her a while to get used to but now it's one of her favorites.
We've discovered how to open the kitchen drawers and leave 'surprises' in them for mom. I find random things in my drawers on a daily basis now. It cracks me up!
We've been battling an ear infection for a month now. I post this picture because you can just tell she doesn't feel good. She's on her third round of antibiotics (poor thing has to get a shot of Rocephin every day for the next three days) so I'm hoping it works this time.
We've learned how to throw a tantrum! And I mean full blown tantrum. She throws herself on the floor in a very dramatic way and just screams. I didn't realize this could happen so soon and I was not prepared!! This girl has some lungs on her and when she's mad, she's REALLY mad. We have a very funny video of one of her "fits" but for some reason it won't download so I'm posting a picture of the beginning stages of a tantrum. I'm not even sure how she picked up on this little trick but it's not going to work on me! (Quick, all you moms out there...what do I do?!) Is it too early to start time out?????? Some days I want to lock myself in the bathroom so I don't have to listen to her throwing one of these lovely tantrums!
After a long hard day of playing with toys and throwing a few tantrums you can't help but look at this sweet thing and fall in love with her all over again! I love my baby girl. Tantrums and all!!

My Valentine
I know Valentines Day is forever away but I just had to post a couple of Valentines Day pictures! Isn't she a doll? She was sick when I shot these pics but I think the sucker helped keep her mind off of the sickness and the picture taking!
