Last night I was feeling in a 'funk'. I'm not exactly sure why since I actually had quite a good day. I had met with some recruiters in the morning and then in the afternoon the kids and I met up with a very good friend of mine visiting from England. From there Mr. Mingle met us and we had dinner. But, then we got home, fought the kids to bed, and I thought, "now what?". I didn't know what to do with myself so I blindly watched a little TV. I was upstairs and my husband was downstairs on the computer. TV was not satisfying me so I thought I'd check in on FB via my phone. I was surprised to find I had 9 notifications. What was everyone commenting on?? I clicked on the notifications and found they were all commenting on my status. What status? I hadn't posted any status recently. And then I saw it.... grand old hubby had logged in as me and posted on my behalf. Not only that, but he was then continuing to have a conversation between his FB login and my FB login. Friends who I hadn't heard from in years were commenting, others were sending private messages... I quickly posted something, but then realized he was still downstairs having this FB conversation between two IDs. And every time I thought to post something, he already had, as "me". I just started laughing almost to tears watching this unfurl in front of me. I did chime in a couple of times, but overall, he was doing a pretty good job on his own. Finally though, scared of where this might lead, I came downstairs to make him stop. He too was laughing himself to tears. It's rare when we do something to crack ourselves up to that point. From there, friends continued to comment and send messages..
I have to say, the whole thing certainly worked to get me out of my funk! Now I'm thinking of old marching instructors thanks to Derek, 8th grade Hawaii trip thanks to Kate, many virtual hugs, and an offer of a beer. Oh, and some pick-me-ups in Japanese and Spanish as well. Thanks friends! And, most of all, thanks Mr. Mingle!
The following is the conversation that occurred with
