Waiting for someone to send you an invite?

I’ve been on Facebook under duress, simply to be able to see updates from my family. I hate Facebook, always have but this was the easiest method for keeping up those I care about. Google+ may be my salvation if I can get my family to make the switch with me. Google+ blows Facebook away on so many levels. I already use all things Google so its a natural fit and all my services link together seamlessly.

No longer do I have to keep friends and family separate from internet friends. With Google+ Circles I can have everyone on the same site and pick and choose who to share what with. Even my photo albums can be selectively shared. Totally amazing! There there is Huddles for private chats (like Beluga), Hangouts for video chat, GChat right in the sidebar. Controlling your privacy is much easier with Google+. The interface is user friendly. Facebook went from horrible to acceptable. I can never find anything I want on there.

I could go on and on! I’m positive Google+ is here to stay. I never had this level of WOW with Google Buzz (meh) and Google Wave (clunky and confusing).

Google+ is still in field testing mode and requires an invite to get in. I have invites, so find me on Twitter to get one.

If you are already in, you can find me here:

Die Facebook Die!!!

Spent a great 4th weekend with the boy and the family. We attempted to go swimming on Sunday but the lake was so full, the swimming beach was under water. GRRR We still had our picnic over at the Keyesport Access and I did manage to get Maggie into the water. On the way home we got caught in a hellacious storm and the boy’s truck now has hail damage. My car was at home and missed the hail but I left the windows down a bit and it was soaked. Not cool.

I took my car in to the body shop Monday afternoon, so it should be back in a week I hope. Mom is letting me drive her Impala until I get my car back. Its a nice car and all but I miss my Hemi

Monday night we drove to East St Louis to watch the fireworks from the new park by the Casino Queen. It was the perfect location and the night was gorgeous. I even managed to take a bunch of pretty great pictures considering it was the first time I attempted to photograph fireworks. I have been lax with my 365Project the past month, I’ve just been far too busy at work and at home. So I continue to take pictures here and there out of habit but I have definitely missed several days. I’m also way behind in uploading and posting the pics. Its becoming a bit time consuming and I could be spending that time updating my blogs or working on my family tree at Ancestry.com I’m not saying I’m officially quitting but its a possibility.

The end of this month we are off to Wisconsin for a family weekend to celebrate the boy’s father’s birthday. Should be a great time, as it always is.

Oh and the boy is officially switching to Verizon and a DROID 2 phone! It shipped yesterday so it should be here any time now. Sis seems to be enjoying her Galaxy Tablet too.

I only remember a motorcycle, the cemetery and mean horse in this dream and the horse kept coming after me.

Horses in general are supposed to be good. I can’t remember the significance of the motorcycle and I didn’t make detailed notes. Grr

Please let me wake up and find that my dream car is not wrecked but instead just as it was when I left the house this morning. I didn’t really hit someone at a stop sign on the way home and mangle my beautiful car. I didn’t really get a ticket on top of it and ruin my perfect driving record.

Now I must go sit in the corner and rock back and forth muttering ‘It didn’t happen’ over and over again while eating my own hair.

In the first part of this dream I was at a bar. Two different times I came to the bar and had to change my shoes. Later I was in a restaurant with a witch. I needed her to teach me how to eat like a proper lady. One tray of food she showed me had aloe vera on it…it was all different shades of green some were very dark.

Then we (not sure who was with me) were looking in the walls for something accidentally tore down the wall and a whole bunch of old children shoes came tumbling out.

We found a secret room behind any old record player.. the kind you have to wind.

The color green seemed to be important…maybe the shoes?

Dark green, battle dress green or green and black represent difficulties with sharing (jealousy, rivalry). Need to balance male and female aspects. Look for trouble with the heart.

Shoes

In general, shoes represent your approach to life. Wearing shoes in your dream, suggests that you are well-grounded or down to earth. It also represents your convictions about your beliefs. If you are changing your shoes, then it refers to your changing roles. You are taking a new approach to life.

If you forget your shoes, then it suggests that you are leaving behind your inhibitions. You are refusing to conform to some idea or attitude.
To see old and worn shoes in your dream, indicates that you will find success through hard work and diligence. You have come to terms about who you are.

To see new shoes in your dream, suggests that you are overconfident in your success. Alternatively you may be on a life path that is unfamiliar to you.

To find shoes in your dream, suggests that you have regained your foothold on life. You are back on the right path again.

To dream that you are wearing inappropriate shoes for the occasion or for the activity at hand, means that your progress and path in life will be long, hard and laborious. It may also indicate that you are heading in the wrong direction. Perhaps you need to reevaluate your goals. If you dream that your shoes do not fit or that they pinch and hurt, then it means that you are questioning your goals. You are doubting the direction of the path you are taking.

To dream that you are not wearing any shoes, indicates that you have low self-esteem and a lack of confidence in yourself. You are dealing with issues about your self-identity. It also represents poverty, lack of mobility, or misunderstanding. Alternatively, to dream that you are not wearing shoes, represent your playful attitudes and relaxed, carefree frame of mind. You have a firm grasp and good understanding on a situation. If you dream that you lose your shoes, then it suggests that you are searching for your identity and finding yourself.

To see baby shoes in your dream, symbolizes purity, innocence, vulnerability, tenderness and the desire for love. If you are planning to have or already have a baby, then it suggests that the baby will or has grounded you. After all, with a baby to tend to, you find yourself rooted at home most of the time and not being able to go out as much.

This is a house about halfway between Trenton and Highland. The red building was damaged in the back too.

Part of the roof is in the trees:
