Yes, I finally did it.

I joined Facebook.

Which is a huge deal, because I've always been leery of opening that door.  So why did I finally join after all these years?

Because apparently people don't talk anymore, so I never have any clue what's going on with my family and friends.  Allow me to demonstrate:

Strike 1:  I didn't find out about my best cousin and his wife having their first baby until 1 WHOLE WEEK after!  And that's only because I specifically had to ask someone, "so.....have they had their baby yet?  Wasn't her due date like a week ago?"  Apparently it was announced on Facebook.

Strike 2:  I didn't know that Marcos' cousin Caralee who I love moved back to Fresno from Denver, until I saw her last night at a family gathering....and was like, "What are you doing here!?"  Apparently I would've known, had I looked at her Facebook.

Strike 3:  I found out last night that Julio and Kelly (good friends/family) had their baby.  3 MONTHS AGO.  And what's worse?  I didn't even know she was pregnant.  WOW.  Really?  Apparently nobody actually talks anymore because they assume that if it's on Facebook everyone knows.  Fair enough.

Well......Melody's not going to be left in the dark anymore.....so in a hurried fit of annoyance I made a Facebok last night.  It felt like opening Pandora's box of friends and family....a little overwhelming at first.  And I really don't even know how to use it yet.  Don't even have a photo up yet.

But at least I'll know what's going on!  

And I'm not gonna lie.....it's kind of exciting. :)
