Schmorgasbord

A post of this-n-that and a little something weighing heavy on my mind sums up my silly title.
So let's get down to business as I know there are facebook pages to be viewed, Craig's List to be summarized, and for you PW fans...checking to see if you've won a mixer, knives, or a Nikon camera!
Of course I'm drawing from my own behavior there so don't be offended.

First, for Christmas my dear husband gave me a new lens. A macro lens that I hope to finally get those tiniest of details that have eluded me for too long. Yes, I'm thankful and hoping to pay off our mortgage with the winnings from that particular picture that will thrust me into photography stardom...attention National Geographic.







But for now this amateur plays at Picnik, a picture editing site that is free. Being the frugal and freaky person that I am, money will not be spent on any photo editing in this household...not in the near future anyway.

Also, I have a question for some of you that have raised boys. When in public places and your little guy must go to the bathroom, do you take him into the Womens bathroom or let him go into the Mens bathroom? And at what age did you stop taking him into the Womens bathroom? My seven-year-old is still escorted by me or his sisters into the Womens bathroom, but he is getting a bit big. Any advice here?

The rest of this particular post has been deleted as the situation has been resolved, thankfully.
I appreciated all of the comments and advice, but felt that I probably shouldn't have aired the situation publicly.
Blessings to you and yours as we embark upon a new year!

Facebook Has Rejected Me?!

Yes, I enjoyed using the social networking site Facebook. It was a means for me to observe pictures of my extended family and keep up with relatives, if you will. None of us are true letter writers.
Yes, at times, I did status my frustrations with different politicians and political issues and comment quite candidly my opinion on such important subjects as the consumption of chocolate or whether-or-not I would be attending certain homeschooling events.
So imagine my surprise when clicking over this morning to find that my account had been deactivated. HUH?!
No explanation, just deactivated.
Rejection of this type is something I'm just not used to.
Maybe it's a mixed blessing...I don't know, but I guess maybe it means I won't be checking over at their site anymore to see if anyone else agrees with my devotion to bacon or talking smack with my OU supporter friends.
And maybe in the words of Martha Stewart, "It's a good thing."
All I know is that right now...at this very moment...I'm feelin' horribly and ridiculously rejected!
But, this too shall pass.
