That COMPUTER INTERNET STUFF

I love homes. I mean homes that feel like home. I try really hard to achieve that feeling in my own home. It usually takes me about 8 months to a year to really get settled in and know what works in a new house.

So considering we have only lived in this house a month, I think it is safe to say I have NOT achieved the feeling of home yet.

More like BORING.

So, for some inspiration, I went to a popular home site and posted a picture of my living room, hoping to get some feedback (aka help).

No one in our families has seen our home yet. So I had a great idea.

I would call my mama at work (it's a family owned business, which will come into play later) and told her my LR was online if she wanted to see it.

Here is about how the conversation went.

"Mama, go to www.blahblah..."

"Wait, let me get some paper."

Grin.

"Ok, I'm ready now. double u, double u, double u..."

"blahblahblah. Click on the icon. Go to the LR category. Mine is listed near the beginning because I just posted."

We got off the phone and about 30 minutes later I got a call from my mom.

"I can't find it."

Grin, sigh. "Ok, mama, I'll walk you through it. Are you on the home page for website blahblahblah?"

"Wait, I don't know nothin' about this computer internet stuff. Let me get Todd."

So I wait and hear "Todd, are you busy? Can you come over here and get me to look at this living room picture?"

This is where I thought it was good to know this is a family owned business and it is ok for them to walk over and help my mama out with this computer internet stuff.

So I ask Todd," Is she on the blahblahblah website?"

To which he responds, " Wait, let me just retype it in. Ok, there. Now what?"

I walk him through the entire process (which consists of about 4 clicks).

He hands the phone to my mama and she exclaims, "I FOUND IT!"

Grin.

And then, "How DID you get your living room on THE INTERNET?"

It reminded me of the time before reality TV, when you were a STAR if you made an appearance on the ever-so-hallowed TV screen.

So mama, thank you for making me feel like a star!!

I love you!!
