Kids on the Computer


Monday mornings, especially after a long weekend (which I had), are always a little tough – so I figured a fun video could get you through your first cup of coffee.

Here is a classroom of first or second grade students in 1984 – when I was born – explaining to their teacher what a computer is.

My niece and nephew are about the same age, and they are so well versed in technology it is amazing what a difference 25 years makes.  Even more impressive is my 2.5 year old nephew who has mastered the iPad and Angry Birds…

This video is a delight; it is awesome in it’s simplicity.

We went to New York City this weekend on an impromptu trip – more details later!

The Difference between Boys and Girls


On Sunday I woke up to see the following email exchange between Mark and his friend Nima, and then eventually Mark, Nima, his girlfriend and me.

Here is the difference between boys and girls:

Mark sends a date and a one word question.  Nima replies with a one word response.  And so now we have plans.  Needless to say my commentary in the email took more words than the entire planning process.

This email chain did two things, get me excited for dinner and make me laugh.  It has also made me start thinking about where, what we’ll do for dinner – but again, that might be difference between boys and girls.

Happy Monday friends,  look for a moment to laugh wherever you can find it.

Good for a Laugh


Two weeks ago my sister sent me this link: http://whenparentstext.com/ – and if you have parents who do text, and have texted you even once, at first you might wonder, “how did someone with Tumblr account scan my phone?”  Then you’re likely to break out into laughter that is so hard that you’ll need to close the window and revisit this gem from home.

My parents text, but for better or worse they aren’t this funny.  

If you’re looking for some Friday laughs, please, enjoy!

A1 for Waffles

Mom: Do you want waffles or muffins for breakfast? Just text “A1” for waffles or “B1” for muffins.
Me: Why did you go through all that trouble? Why can’t I just text “waffles” or “muffins”?
Mom: We are texting in code! ;););) 🙂
Me: Waffles
Mom: A1 or B1?
Me: WAFFLES
Mom: Sooo…A1?
Me: Mom. Yes.
Mom: I think I would rather have muffins. I’m making muffins
