Reason Number 457 to Love Facebook
Today when I logged onto Facebook for the first time in a couple days, I was reminded of why I should not let too much time pass without checking in. For there, on my Wall, was a message from Pat telling me that she had just seen a Halloween Special Edition Magic 8 Ball at Target. She even offered to pick one up for me. This was such exciting news that I had to run and try to find one IMMEDIATELY, though, which is exactly what I did.
For a dismaying thirty seconds, I thought they were sold out. It was only when I was shuffling along muttering to myself on the way out of the Halloween section that I saw them way up on a top shelf, as if they weren’t the number one most requested Halloween item Target sells. Please.
I bought two: one for me and one for an eight-year-old boy I know who will be turning nine on Monday. I don’t want to name names, but he really likes Halloween.
Question: Will I ever figure out how to navigate the new Facebook interface efficiently?
Halloween Special Edition Magic 8 Ball: Scary but true.
Question: Isn’t Pat one of the awesomest people I know?
Halloween Special Edition Magic 8 Ball: It’s in the bag!
Question: Does candy have calories on Halloween night?
Halloween Special Edition Magic 8 Ball: It might be a trick.
Drat.

How many magic 8 balls do you have now? Do you have a count-able total?
That one's pretty rockin'.

Jules, How is it that I don't know the answer to this question off the top of my head? I'm going to have to do a count when I get home. I can tell you that this newest acquisition means that my collection can no longer fit on the shelf where it's been living. That's something I'm going to need to figure out, too.

I can't believe the people Facebook has re-connected me with in just a month.

I know, and more people seem to sign on by the day. It seems to be a particularly big hit with the library contingent.

I don't get it. I only have 3 friends--and one of them is my husband. I don't count him. :)
