That’s “hello” on the telephone in Korean.  Speaking of Korean, I haven’t written about my mom in a while. I guess it might be because we talk a little less and I see her a little less now that I am gainfully employed.  Aw, I miss her!

People are talking less and less on the telephone in this day and age, aren’t they?

Not unless you’re old school like some of my friends are.  I spent 50 minutes on the phone last Saturday with one of my high school best friends.  She’s not on Facebook anymore (she doesn’t like it) so I can’t really keep up with anything she’s doing in her life.

I mean, Facebook and social networking sort of saves you time in catching up, doesn’t it?  Sometimes there is a lot of information on there!  So much so, that it makes you feel caught up on people’s lives.  But, I think that’s an arguable statement because some people spend so much time on Facebook — not sure it’s quite a time saver, in general.  More like a time sink.

But 50 minutes on the phone is a long time, isn’t it?  If I had kids and a family (like everyone else my age does — don’t get me started on this one), I would never be able to do that.  The only reason my friend, Carla (coincidentally, another Carla) was able to talk for so long was because her husband took her kids somewhere for the day!

I really love FaceTime on the iPhone.  My sister-wife (a reference to my old blog) and I like to FaceTime, especially because I like to be able to see her kids, Ava and Will — they grow so fast!  Will can’t really talk too much yet so he will sit there and hold the phone and just look into it.  So I have to ask him yes or no questions — things he is capable of answering.  But, it seems like he’s getting there — slowly saying more and more things.  Ava is always so adorable.  She didn’t want to FaceTime in the beginning and was really shy about it, but she’s warmed up to it.  Reminds me, I’ll have to try to FaceTime them later.

Lori’s going to kill me for posting this!  I have a couple of other screen shots that are less flattering, so this is a good one!

My slight sunburn on my torso from last weekend’s tanning sessions is itchy from yesterday’s sunbathing session.  Sunbathing is a strange thing, isn’t it?  I think about this whenever I lie out in the sun, in the scorching heat, sitting there sweating.  I’d much rather get a tan being out in an ocean, preferably on a surfboard.

Speaking of which, I don’t know if I’ll ever live on the coast again and be able to surf on a regular basis.  I don’t know if I’ll ever see my surfboard again and if I’ll ever get back my meager surfing skills.

Oh man, I feel old.  Sorta makes me feel sad.
