I know this is like ten thousand years old, but I still love it. The real song came on and I love singing "Oh, it's what you do to me, oh it's what I'll do to you..." Good stuff, Maynard.

Brian, the hubs, worked at UPS for several years (they aren't great to their employees, which is why I always recommend shipping FedEx), and he saw some interesting things go through there. He said as long as you are shipping within the United States, you can literally ship anything. Pretty much. One of the doods that still works there sent him this picture, and it totally cracked me up!
So Merry Christmas from Jen2, you old bastards!
I love love love me some social media. While I'm not a super-socialmedialite, I'm pretty good at it. I've been on the scene for quite awhile, of course starting with MySpace (in like 2004 or whatevs). So I've been linked to my peeps for quite a while, and I love the relationships, networks and connections it has opened for me. I am fairly new the the FourSquare thing, and I am getting better at remembering to checkin. I just don't go anywhere worth checking in, usually. But I went through and added all of my Twitter and Facebook contacts, and added them. I got an email from one of the people asking why I would want to add him as he doesn't know me, and I explained that I was just doing a sweep. He looked me up, realized a wasn't a robot, and was pleased to add a new nerd to his network. He immediately friended me on Facebook, and pulled up a chat. Turns out he is a fellow nerd (more in the technology sense than me, but as you know, #nerdsunite). We talked about TNTML, and I explained what lifecasting is. He was under the impression that lifecasters carried a camera around with them every where. So we talked about how it all works, and how liberating it is for me. It turns out that he is also a photographer, so we shared links to each other's work, and I was able to give him some tips on this and that, since he hasn't quite broken into the market yet. We chatted for like an hour, I added him to not only my nerd network but my photography community as well. I just love that this little connection, even if this is the last of it, was opened up and I was able to meet someone new. Thanks, social media!

So I know I am way way way crazy behind on this whole thing, but it's just the way it is, so hush. I watched my first live ustreaming today, and totally loved it. I have been hesitant to get into ustreaming because it just seems like such a waste of time. I'm a busy ladyface, so I don't have time to sit and watch something. I never just sit and watch TV, I have it playing in the background while I do seven other things. That's also why I just don't watch Hulu, I can't just sit and do it. But when one of my favorite people, Dr. Drew, tweeted that he was about to live chat with Dax from TMZ, I decided to check it out. I'm not doing much of anything today, which means I'm working on three things. See:I just arranged my workflow better so I could go ahead and watch the adorable Dr. Drew chat it up. And when I needed to pull something else up I just listened. It was awesome, and I'm totally converted. I love that he was taking questions from the weirdos that were posting stuff, and I love that he was talking about real stuff, like Celebrity Rehab, my favorite make-me-feel-better-about-my-life-because-I'm-not-a-trainwreck show. It was good stuff.
I'm totally on board with the live streaming thing. I might even try it someday.

@JenSquard | tagged dr. drew, jen squard, jen swedhin, live chat, live chatting, live streaming, tmz, ustream | Although we all live pretty simply, somehow my kids still end up with butt loads of toys. Nothing like normal kids, but still way more than necessary. And they get everywhere. Toys normally come in sets now, so each "toy" has like 15 or more parts, too. Yikes. This time of year is particularly hard since they get a ton of new stuff, and we barely have room for the old stuff. So today I decided to go through it all again, which I end up doing every few months. I started by pulling out every single toy I could find (this totally does not include their 8 million books or stuffed animals), then I reorganized everything, and made a huge bag to donate to a friend that teaches kindergarten. Looks way way wayyyyy better, right?
Yay for me being the champion!
