Mauri and Sherry

Posted by Sherry on April 2, 2008

Scott Nilson just invited me to be his Facebook friend. I knew I was getting close to 100 friends, so after I accepted his kind offer I checked my Facebook friend count. I now have 99 friends!

I’m having a blast with Facebook, and I do only minimal things with it—mostly play Scrabulous and read the updates (and post my own update from time to time). It’s such an easy, comfortable, non-invasive way to stay connected with 99 people I know casually or well, doesn’t matter—I find them all interesting. And I can do this in the comfort on my “cockpit,” Mauri calls it, right here next to the woodstove he keeps going. I can wear my party pants (Liz’s term) and sip my daily hot chocolate and watch TV and enjoy close proximity to my dear man and read what’s going on in my friends’ lives. Ben, Taylor, and Dusty are my friends as well as my sons. Erin and Linsey are my friends as well as my daughters.

You might think 99 is a satisfactory number of friends. As of a moment ago, son Ben has 572 friends. I don’t know 572 people, so I don’t aspire to matching his number. But 99 is so close to triple digits. So if you aren’t already my Facebook friend, would you be willing to join the “Sherry Needs More Friends” campaign and invite me to be your friend? I realize that having to beg for friends makes me appear rather pitiful. Okay, so I am pitiful, but if that’s what it takes to have triple-digit Facebook friends, it’ll be worth a little groveling.

Be my 100th Facebook friend. Just search for Sherry Macy (I’m holding a cup of hot chocolate in front of my face in the picture). Or maybe you don’t have a Facebook account yet and I’ve convinced you how much fun it is. Just go here and sign up, then maybe I can be your first Facebook friend!

Then there’s Twitter.
