Do You Skype?
Hallelujah the heat has lifted for a few days! I am happy as a little clam and enjoying every minute. Heaven!
However, I am thoroughly confused about what day it is. Between the holiday weekend making Tuesday into Monday and the temps in the low 90’s I am a mess. Just ask my friend Becky, who I had a planned to Skype with this afternoon. She sent me a message, “Are you getting ready? It’s almost time,” to which I replied, “Almost time for what?” I’m such a dork.
Becky is the organizing queen and I am just glad she didn’t cancel on me when she found out that I don’t know what day it is or that I couldn’t find her email with her Skype address in it. If you ever make plans with me you need to know up front that no matter how excited I am about meeting you or talking to you I will not remember it when the time comes. This is part of the cost of being my friend.
My real life friends just send me little email reminders. One of them, bless her heart, even makes a list for me at the end of her emails, “Now, to sum up: You are supposed to meet me at 7:00 with the history book you borrowed last year. Go put the book in your purse right now,” then she’ll text me at 6:45 to make sure I’ve left the house.
Isn’t it nice to have friends who love you no matter what?
There are a lot of people in my life that would like to change me and even some that have dumped me, but a true friend stays and loves.
Colossians 3: 12-14 “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
I did eventually get to Skype chat with Becky, who, by the way, is completely adorable. (did I put too many commas in that last sentence?) It was really neat because it felt almost like I got to meet her in person PLUS see one wall of her house. Now I want to Skype chat with all of you so I can hear your voice and see your gestures. And you could see that I scratch my face a lot, which I didn’t realize until I talked with Becky today. Weird.
Have a great Monday! (oh, I mean Tuesday, today is Tuesday)
It IS wonderful to have those friends who don’t take my forgetfulness as a lack of love for them but simply the result of my fried brain. I’m glad you have her! And I’m glad you go to Skype. And I use Cozi calendar. It will even send me reminders on my phone before I’m supposed to be somewhere! 🙂 Enjoy whatever day this is!
Wow, I didn’t realize I was “adorable” – thanks for the sweet compliment! Don’t worry, I never noticed you scratching your face with the poor picture quality of Skype. I just saw a blurry blob 😉 I didn’t notice that it scratched at all! Ha, ha! You were just how I thought and better! Your hubby and kids have it good!

Antbed, cool! I’ll look into that!
Becky, you only saw a blurry blob because that is what I look like! LOL!
Skype is probably too techno for my little brain, but if I ever get it you will be the first person I skype!
Lisa, shame on you! You are not a blurry blob, you are beautiful! LOL! 😀
We love Skype when we use it!
How fun to Skype with blogging friends.

I couldn’t have survived this 3.5 week long trip to Russia without Skype. Praise God I could talk to and SEE my children everyday. And my mom. And my dad. Makes the homesickness a little more bearable.
And I seem to scratch my face or my nose or whatever more often than I thought too.
Our internet connection is too slow for Skype.
I have one friend (besides family) who always accepts me as I am. Boy, do I think she’s great! I should probably be sure she knows that.
I’m off to check Cozi calendar, too.
I was on Skype just a couple of hours ago to my friend in NJ. Scotland to NJ – as long as we want – for nothing! Wow! It’s fabulous… And she was in her shoreside home, where *we* spent some time last year, so she took me a wander around the living room and then onto the decking. Ahhh, memories 🙂
And she must be a *really* good pal to be able to call you a blob. Blob?!?!
Oh, was gonna say too – a person like me is so used to American accents – even the differences in accents, for example North-South. But you Americans have *never* heard an accent like mine. That would be the oddest thing, I think, for Americans listening to us.. 🙂
We cannot be friends anymore..or maybe we should be better friends…I need someone who is very very forgiving of my ability to respond to texts, voicemails and emails. It’s also nice to have a friend that will remind me of things…which you can’t do.
We covered that verse in church a few weeks ago. It hasn’t left my frontal lobe since.
