Where did I go?

Why am I not on Facebook anymore?

I know lots of you have been asking what happened. Well, it's REALLY simple. I realized I was on the internet WAAAAYYYY too much, and it had to stop. I remember when I was a teen, my mom was always laying across or sitting on her bed. When I came home from school, there she was. When I first started taking pictures, every picture I had was of her laying across her bed. When I moved out and visited her, she was on her bed. Nothing wrong with being leisurely, just seemed that was all she did.

I see myself like that right now. This computer chair is my bed. Every time my kids see me, I'm in this chair. Yes, I do laundry, cook, clean; stuff like that, but I try to get it done quick so I can get back in the chair. Time to get out.

Now my laundry pile has gotten MUCH smaller, and I have more time to to other much needed things around the house. This works for me. I have also left the message board that I was CONSTANTLY on.

I feel better. I still have my blog (I'm going to post this note there, too), and I'm on Yahoo messenger. If you know me, you can still contact me, and this doesn't have to be the only way you do it.

I'm going to leave my facebook page up for a week, then I'm "unplugging" again.

Thanks, and God Bless!Leslie

Beulah Harmon, 1910 - 2009

My Great Grandmother. She finally passed away, after a long illness. She was the last "grand". She was 99. Hated taking pictures, so I always had to sneak around and snap a quick picture of her. Glad I did, because I wouldn't have any if I obeyed her. Had to eat her vanilla ice-cream with lemon juice because she thought it was too sweet. Even when she was 94, she had to tell me about her relationships, and how she wasn't "giving her man any" until she went out with him a few more times. LOL!!

Anyway, so I'll be in Philly sooner than expected. Still coming in April, too.

Well, in other news - it has been a busy week. Wednesday, I went to the rheumatologist, and I finally have a diagnosis - Psoriatic Arthritis. Steroids or Enbrel are the treatments, but I don't think I want anything just yet. I'm not in crazy pain, so I'm not stressed about it. I can call when I need meds.

Thursday, I had my polygraph test which went really well. Friday, I went for my drug test, and the nurse decided to give me a whole physical. I thought it was normal procedure until she said I was going to have to go somewhere else for a chest x-ray. What do I need a chest x-ray for, and I'm going to be on the phone? Anyway, she realized she did too much and I went home.

Friday night, we drove to Hickory for Ayana and Anthony's baby's birthday party. We had a good time, once we found the place. The place was like Chuck-E-Cheese and Happy Times put together.

Saturday, Bri had her first real date. The guy is really nice, and he has a very nice family. They went to the movies, so I took that opportunity to take the other two to the movies as well. Bri and her friend went to see Madea, I took the other two to see Coraline. Then we went to Hooters to finish off the night.

Sunday, we went to church, then I took Bri to what I thought was going to be a nice group for her to join. They were just a little to unorganized, and when I asked her how she felt about the group - and she said it was a big bunch of ghetto girls. I guess we won't be going back...

Monday, I took Nate and Nicole's son to karate, and when Nate got home, he was feeling sick. He's been home from school the last two days with a fever. If he's not any better later today, I'm going to take him to the doctor.

Anyway, please pray for the Wimes and Harmon families. We're going to need it.

Thanks, and God Bless.
