Is it me or has it become more popular lately? I have had 4 people "find" me this week alone. I've had a couple of people with Guatemalan children that I actually don't know IRL invite me to be their "friend". There children are so ADORABLE that I accepted! I up for new friends!

I just started on Facebook this week. I already found two long lost friends from high school and college. How cool is that? I'd love to add more "friends!"

honestly facebook look intimidating to me at first, but once I "played with it" it because addicting and easy. I love to send flair and bumperstickers. There are some hysterical ones on there. My college age son just shakes his head at me when he's home and I am on my Facebook......it's not like i'm 90!!

I have a facebook! I just started about three weeks ago when a friend invited me to her page. I'm still getting the hang of it, but I like it. I would like some new friends!
