Imagine My Surprise

So I'm not a huge fan of Facebook. I think it's cool, it's cute, it's a way to keep in touch but I'm a blogger at heart not a social networker. Well, not an online social networker.

But I talked to my cousin today, and she's been updating my sister on Facebook and I realized if nothing else, I want to stay in touch with her.

I had the time to talk to her because I was driving four hours today to Connecticut and back.

On the way there, I placed a series of calls, leaving messages etcetera. Hoping to catch a few people. My cousin was later on the list, but when I reached her, boy did I. We talked for almost an hour.

During that time several people cut in. Thanks to the magic of caller ID, I saw their names flash across the screen. First my husband, then another, then a third. I didn't pick up but as soon as I ended the call, I hit redial and grabbed the last caller.

She proceeded to chit chat with me amiably, letting me know that she had received my message, did I get hers, and basically what she had said was a. b. and c. and not to bother listening to it.
All very chatty and happy.

Which was great. So time passes. I get home and tonight finally decide to join Facebook.

Where lo and behold my friend that I had JUST spoken to today left me a friend request. Likely lurking in the system from when she uploaded her profile.

I clicked on it.

and read her Wall.

Where she remarks that it REALLY annoys her when people say leave a message but dont check voicemail thus she has to repeat the whole call.

I have to say, I hear her point. That IS annoying.

You know what ELSE is annoying, that the voicemail notification app on my cell doesn't work when I'm on the phone and someone else calls in.
