It is way too cold.....brrrrrrr!

It is 14 degrees out today. This just doesn't seem real for Alabama. I remember even when I lived in Germany it rarely got this cold. I just remember having to learn the metric system when I moved there. I could never remember how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit so I would just have to remember 0 degrees C was cold and anything under was really cold. It all got a little shady when it was 3C or 19C. I just remember that I didn't like it when it was 38C or 40C because we had no air condition and that was really hot. I just wonder why the Metric system is not used here in America. Are we that proud to change over? Are we too set in our ways? It would be interesting converting wouldn't it especially with the slower American population. Imagine the chaos of it all....Just something to think about today. .

I am new to all of this....blogging, Facebook


The past couple of weeks I have been asked to join Facebook. Since I am a mother of three, my time has been very limited. As you can tell from my blog, I don't get to blog much. I really want to stay on task and try to figure all of these sites out. I really like Facebook and it is actually really cool. I have put a link on my facebook page to this site. I guess that means I better keep this up. I had recently posted pictures of the house we bought. The pictures are from before we moved in-just wanted to clarify. I have new pictures to post but they are on my external hard drive and can't figure out how to upload them yet. I got a new laptop for Christmas and can barely figure out the wireless thing. I really didn't know that having kids can handicap you in all things technological. I am posting a picture of the kids I took for my Christmas card. I barely got them out this year and didn't even send them to everyone I had in the past. I might get my act together next year or in 18 years.
