As an Android user, I’m late to the Instagram party but I’m really loving it so far. I’m kind of a voyeur when it comes to people and their lives. This is why I read blogs, peruse Facebook photos, and enjoy it when people leave their blinds open when I walk my dog. (What?) Instagram is another glimpse inside personal lives. My nosy self digs it.

I’m often late to cultural parties.

  • Instagram
  • Knowing what “H.A.M.” means. I just learned yesterday.
  • Knowing what “womp womp” sounds like. It’s not phonetic!
  • Leggings
  • Facebook
  • Smartphones
  • Twitter

One of resolutions this year is to volunteer 10 hours in addition to what I do with my little from Big Brothers & Big Sisters of America. I will be planting trees at the Wildflower Center tomorrow morning! I think I’ll be doing this on my own since pulling Alan out of bed in the morning is impossible and my friends like sleeping in on weekends. I’m oddly excited. I’ve never planted trees before!
