I need to step this up.

I need to step this up.

My recent effort to continue my "Git You Head Right" series and an unexpected addiction to Facebook has led to me neglecting more frequent updates to this blog.

So I made a decision yesterday. I have so much fun findings bits to put in my sidebar, that I'm gonna pepper in some blurbs of strange, wacky, and shake-your-head news pieces as regular blog posts. Why? Because opinions are like a**holes... everybody has one. And I have quite a few. Lord knows there's enough in the news for me to drop 2-cents on the ridiculousness of the day. Are y'all ready?

Ah, Facebook, the new electronic drug to go along with the Crackberry and all the rest.

It hasn't sucked me in too much yet, but I can see where it could get addictive.

Your idea to post blurbs like that sounds cool. I look forward to 'em.

Girl, if you ever stop telling me you love me, I'm gonna quit being your friend. That's some fresh ripened bullshyte right there! I sware as I live and breathe that things are going too damn far.

Oh, and thanks to you, I've updated my FB and have managed to not only check it with a limited amount of frequency, I've even "found" some "lost" people. If I get hooked, it's all your damn fault. *lol*

Love to live; live to love!

Thanks for stopping by my food blog! I'm glad the wings turned out good for you...I just finished making them again (they've become a family favorite and a weekly request). I too haven't been keeping up my blog because of my Facebook relationship...I think I'm a stalker because I stalk my Facebook account all day long...lol
