Oversharing

By
So I finally realized more of what Google is doing with Google+ 

You see I use gmail so I basically had this Google+ account I didn't understand. But all my blogs automatically post to it. And same with my YouTube videos. Apparently Google+ is in it's own way, a social network platform. For people who are over Facebook? It's a little confusing

And definitely overwhelming. 

There is a lot about me out there. Mr Smith agrees and hates this fact because I bring him and our offspring into this. I need it . . . that sense of social connection, but even I feel overexposed just because I can't even keep up with every account that has my name and photo. I don't want to fall behind if I dare to enter into the public world years down the road, but some days I want to turn it all off. Because I'll be the first to admit I'm sharing more than doing some days.

Gmail. I have email. For all those professional conversations & spam
Facebook. I have 737 "friends". An account that dates back to 2006. Plus a photo Page.
Blogger. All three blogs. One I ended but it isn't gone. One for my photos. and one for my life.
Instagram. Instant pixely pictures from "my phone"
I'm kind of over Snapchat, an Instagram comparison without lasting effects.
Pinterest. For all my inspirational & creative needs.
Twitter. I just rekindled this gem from over 4 years ago. I'm still a beginner.
Youtube. All three of my videos because I haven't found a better way to upload videos.
And now Google+ ?

I know there are even more. Don't overwhelm me further. #hashtagwhat?
(FaceTime, Hangouts, Skype . . .)

And what about all the blogs I follow and news sites I never read?

Mr Smith is really set on getting the Nextus Google+ phones. 
I am just trying to make sense of it all. But I also can't wait to get a new phone.
At least all these crazy things will be pilled together with WiFi.

And so it begins, again

At what point do you ... 1. Keep holding on waiting for inspiration to come 2. Try something different 3. Let go & walk away I'd say most of us are usually somewhere in between #1 & #2, but there are occasional moments where I find myself locked into another Jane Austin film with some oreos & milk ignoring reality all together.  Today, I'm trying to rise above some level of complacency & clear my mind at your expense. Mr Smith & I had a good run of it, but since blogs became obsolete in 2017 while Instragram chained us all to algorithms, I had no audience nor desire to write in this world. But times change, after it murders our souls, and alas we are famished for an authentic keyboard with less distractions again. So, let's catch up. They say it comes in threes... Since our job change in 2017, we experienced three more moves, three additional job changes (that don't necessarily align with the moves), and three additional children.  2018-2022 were ver...

Breaking Silence for Religion

I've never been good at being concise. I like words too much. I think outloud. And I haven't had time to blog all these conversations & posts & mental thoughts and it's eating at me to write it all down, to get it out there. These are some words that no one understands anymore: love, tolerance, faith, forgiveness, covenants, judgment, respect, moderation, self-worth, humility, equality...at least if they say they do, I wouldn't believe them. In truth, I think we should be forever understanding what these words mean. Yet I hear people affirming over & over again in their actions & with their voice that they want to be right and they want you to know it & accept the choices they're making. So much for democracy & freedom. They might say "to each his own" but I'm not idealistic anymore, people don't really believe that.  I reference "the world" a lot. Let's clarify what I mean. We can start with Holly...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates.  I'm okay with not needing a changing table.  It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too.  Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . .  Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes.  And even a mobile.  Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
