something has to go

I think maybe Facebook. I'm getting a bit over it, you know? I've become sort of dependent on it, I'm constantly checking for updates and comments and notifications, but it's mostly become a collection of status updates, random photos from people I'm really not that close to, and quiz results. My god, the quiz results. That combined with the fact that they apparently want to own any pictures I post makes me pretty ready to let go. Or at least cut back. I'm working on it.

We just finished Easter, and are having supper tonight with my sister and her husband. We're making supper, she's making dessert. Excellent. I may make some easter bunny caramel chocolate apples later. We saw them at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and they were super cute, but they were $12 each. That's a bit foolish, isn't it? For an apple dipped in caramel and chocolate? Maybe not.

Anyway, Easter. My sweet girl was marginally impressed by her basket, it had some empty plastic eggs in it, which are her favourite toy lately, so she liked that. Also a fluffy chick toy that makes chick noises, which in retrospect may have been a bad idea. The boy got 3 new Spiderman toys and some goodies, and when he had found everything he was like, is that it? I near slapped him, but managed to restrain myself. THIS is what happens when you constantly buy small children things, they have absolutely no appreciation for what they do get. I hope now this is clear to ... other people in his family.

In other news...my leave is almost technically over but I have nowhere to go, so I'll just be broke / unemployed for the summer. If you have some odd jobs or anything, let me know. Ha. Really though. I'm working on a little something, I'll let you know how it pans out.

I'm also looking for a new program / app to display my photos. I use Simpleviewer, and it's pretty good, but there might be something even better out there, right? I'm going to experiment with the Picasa version too, and see which turns out prettier. I've gotten so used to just popping them up onto Facebook, that I really want to keep doing more than one album every other month or so on the kids' page, but it's a lot more work. Any ideas?

My children are being cute, and the little one needs a nap, so I'd best be off. I'll try to come back before 2 months have gone by. I had a really good record going, at least one post a month, but I've really slacked off lately.
