Facebook won :(

Sooo, my brother got married a couple weeks ago and finally came in to my office to see me after the nuptials and ensuing honeymoon hulabaloo calmed down. He didn't just come into my office, though - he came in dangling a proverbial carrot. The "carrot" were pictures of the wedding that were posted on his facebook account. And the only way I could see them was if I added him as a friend to see them. Rude, huh?
Now,,,I had a facebook account, but no photo, I had two friends, and I NEVER login.
Well, that has changed, as I now have 29+ friends!!! YEAH ME! My photo is a picture of the post-it-note mosaic my co-workers did for Boss's Day. I know what "wall-to-wall" means and what "tagged in a photo" means (although I still don't know how to do it). I will maintain that this will not become my obsession. The novelty is already wearing off. I don't update my status...mostly because employers can see that and be all "7 minutes ago, so-and-so wrote that they hated being at work." Yeah...that wouldn't fly with me.
So, now I blog AND have a facebook account. (Does it count as official "blogging" if I only do it bi-monthly?)

Maiden Voyage

Well - Here I am. I have succumbed to the pressure. No more..."Missy you should totally blog!" or "What's going on in your life, do you blog?" I just couldn't take it anymore. I have never been one to use the word "bored", it wasn't allowed growing up and there is always something to be done. But after laying sick in bed for 3 days, I am bored, and I have to do something about it.
Blogging is scary. Putting things out there on that big ole WWW that all different kinds of people have access to. These are people I may or may not know...(I'm told I can make people subscribe later on, but let's be honest...I'm not exactly Oprah.)
So, the title..."MMMMMMmmmmmmm steak!" - it incorporates a lot about me; my initials, my love for meat, amongst other things. There is a bunch of Hillshire Farms commercials on right now that I love the very end when all the actors raise their hands in triumph and shout "Go Meat!" Makes me want to fry up a kilbasa or call Outback (yes, I have them on speed dial).
