i luv skype...

  Just by accident, I was sitting at my computer at about 5 pm last night, when I noticed that Bonnie had signed on to AIM.  She sent me a message regarding a shirt she had forgotten to pack, we had a bit of a conversation and then it suddenly occurred to me. 

I could be talking to her, and seeing her, instead.  We have SKYPE. 

What's not to love?  FREE phone calls WITH video, to and from anywhere in the world.

So, we got on skype...she looked so cute, and happy, and Bonnie-like.  We 'chatted' while she ate some pineapple and yogurt for breakfast (it was 9 am on Saturday morning for her), while I cooked up some tacos for dinner. 

Then, when John got home from work, with his mom in tow, we grabbed Ross and then all sat around the table, with my laptop at the end of the table...and had dinner with Bonnie. 

It was awesome.

So much better than an email, where the message is short.  So much better than IM'ing, even though that is live.  It was almost like she was there, with us, regaling us with stories.  Fun.

I LUV SKYPE!

I don't have skype but we have the free iChat on our mac computers. Boy, I sure felt self-conscious when I first got on it. But I'm getting relatively more comfortable. well. sorta.

Hey Veronica, when are we going to skype?

Oh that's nice, especially when you have family far away. To actually be able to share a meal. Super!

Skype is just wonderful, I remember doing the same with my parents when I was there. We still talk on skype here, better than the phone!!

Love, veronica

That sounds wonderful. I wish that Africa had more technology so I could look forward to that when Ashley goes. I am just hoping for SOME communication!

That is VERY cool. Isn't technology amazing? I loved being able to use skype with my sister when she lived in China. Even though she was so far away, she seemed lots closer just because I could see her.
