1. Do I (as a single girl) accept a friend request from a guy I don't know nor do I think I have met but who apparently wants to be my Facebook friend? Oh yeah, he's single too. I maybe have met him but I don't remember his name or face at all. I checked with one of our mutual friends and apparently he's a "nice guy."
This Facebook thing is weird. I have two friend suggestions and three friend requests I'm sitting on at the moment. Facebook should not be stressful.
2. Camp planning is upon me. I believe if you went back and read my blog about this time last year, I probably said how stressed out I was about the whole thing and guess what? I'm once again, all stressed out about the whole thing. Granted, I know I will feel great when it's over but I absolutely loathe the six month pre-work for so many reasons. This will be my 8th year in a row serving in some sort of stake-level camp calling. We camp by levels, rather than wards, in case I haven't mentioned that before. So I was a level leader for five years and the assistant stake camp director for the last three years. We have our second YCL meeting tonight and I have done nothing since the last meeting six weeks ago. Yes, the month of February was painful and stressful but I still should have been more on the ball and gotten myself ready for tonight before today. I have a big ward calling too which weighs on me because I need to do more there and I'm not.
I said this all of last year and I'm saying it again this year -- I need to come to a decision about whether I can keep going to camp year after year. I absolutely love it but it takes so much out of me. Will I miss it too much and regret not going if I "retire" after this year? Does anyone else feel torn about where they serve??? I simply cannot be the only one.
One more item -- pre work blogging is bad. I am going to be late.

Facebook IS stressful, isn't it? So weird.
I hear you about the pre-work/school blogging. I end up about 2 minutes late to class three days a week because I just have to read everyone's blogs! :)
For what its worth, I haven't really missed camp since I "graduated" from it. Sure it is a fun place to be, but there are other things to fill the time, with hot showers in your own familiar home. I still go camping more than several times a year, but it isn't with a bunch of crazy dressed girls. :)
I can't even think of what girls camp would be without sister shaw! Oh wait, you weren't there my first year at it wasn't very fun. You are the life of the party! I'm glad you blog before work because then I get to read it when I finally mozy on out of bed :). I am sitting on 5 friend requests!
FB is pretty stressful. You could always "friend" him and then if he is too creepy, "de-friend" him!
Will you think I'm creepy if I add you as my friend?
I've actually ignored a few people because I don't know who they are!!!! I felt bad, but oh well. It can be awkward huh :)
I've also accepted several people and thought maybe I would remember them...NOPE. Still don't. Oh well. I have some fake friends I guess. lol.
If he's single, it's worth the gamble. :) And yeah unfriend him if he gets weird! Ignore requests if you want. Don't let fB own you. :) And who cares if you reject a friend suggestion? It's just some random 3rd party that wont't ever really know!
Sorry I linked you from Michelles Blog but I must chime in. By all means if he is single friend him on in! As a girl that didn't get married until 30 might I also suggest LDSSO.com. I met the love of my life on there 5 years ago. Five years and 2 kids later we are still madly in love. Sorry... just had to give my 2 cents ;)
Facebook is weird but I connected with my much younger brothers who I hadn't seen in 32 years because of it. (Long story, wacko father)So I'm kind of thrilled with it!
Camp is a wonderful stress. You need to invent a great calling for yourself there, I did YCL's for years, then Kapers, then a thing called Golden Hour. It was the best.
