So, maybe I’m overstepping my boundaries here but I felt the need to share this... Today an article was posted on pretty much every news site possible (http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/02/21/celebrate-revolution-egyptian-names-baby-girl-facebook/ ) about an Egyptian couple that named their baby girl “Facebook”. They said they named her in honor of the role the social network played in the revolution in Egypt resulting in the departure of the President Hosni Mubarak. The article also stated they named their firstborn child Facebook as a way to express their gratitude about the victories achieved by the country’s youth. Okay, I’m all for advocating support for the social networks and how they can do great things but at the same time to name your child after it? Can you imagine your name being Facebook? As a friend said at dinner tonight, maybe they will call her “FB”. I am a teacher so I’ve seen almost every name in the book but this one may be the worst. All I can say is that poor girl. Okay, yes I’ve been a bad blogger this past weekend. But I achieved a lot of things this weekend:
- Friday night our girls basketball team played in the North-Half tournament and played a good hard game but lost :( It was a sad night to watch all my senior girls cry after the game knowing that was the last time they’d ever play. I never played a high school sport (I’m sure my parents thank me because they would probably still be paying off the hospital bills if I had played) so I don’t personally understand their heartache but I can empathize - when my kids are sad, I am too.
- I went to bed early Friday night and it was absolutely wonderful!
- Saturday I got to go to Memphis with my wonderful mother and spend some needed mother/daughter time
- Saturday night I went out to celebrate a friends 26th birthday! Enjoyed sitting on the balcony of the square (see picture above to right) in the warm evening air (okay it got a little chilly but hey, it seemed warm compared to the cold weather we have had) and 26, it’s our last year in our middle 20‘s...Gosh we are getting old...
- Sunday I finally got to sleep in! Toddy and I cuddled on the couch watching the Law & Order SVU marathon on USA (yes, it is addicting and I love it)
- Sunday afternoon I took Toddy for a walk since it was a beautiful 70 degrees outside! if you didn’t adventure outside, you missed out!
- I also managed to wash clothes, clean the house, grade a huge stack of papers, and get lessons done
So I would say this weekend was a good one! Oh and Lisa Lately has hit 275 views in just one week! I must say thank you to all who view because I never imagined I would have that many views in 7 days! Hope you all had a great Monday!
That is all for Lisa Lately
