Hanna came, went, and was lame...

A week ago, I was pretty excited about the the possibility of Hurricane Hanna. I've waited all my life for a hurricane to be named after me, and when it finally happens...it turns out to be just a tropical storm. Lame. But still kind of cool, even though "Hurricane Hanna" did have a better ring to it. Schools and government buildings closed for a little bit of rain and breezes. That's what we do here in Tidewater (aka Hampton Roads)...we close for little tropical storms and an inch of snow : )

Even though Hanna didn't ruin your world, Google, Facebook, and any other social networking site can, according to The Independent. Google is becoming a GIANT one-stop shop for stalkers, lonely people seeking overexposure, and the directionally challenged. But other people use it too, like me...and I don't think I'm any of the above : ). I google everything, and I learned just this month that I can text questions to Google and receive an answer within minutes. Amazing. But I also learned that my house will soon be pictured on the web in the maps section, which is something I'm not too fond of, honestly. Some loser could stake out my house without me even knowing it because he's doing it all online. I'm on the lookout for the Google maps picture van....

And while you're on the lookout for Google, remember not to post super personal stuff online. Like social security numbers, address, date of birth, confessions of your deepest darkest secrest, etc. Not very smart. Ever.

Have a lovely and restful Sunday : )
