Why Maine Frogger?

Why Maine Frogger you might ask?  That is a really good question.  I have been blessed with a very common name.  In fact, according to howmanyofme.com there are 3,078 of us.  So using that as my name was out of the question.  My husband and I moved to Maine 10 years ago from Ohio.  We absolutely love it here.  We enjoy the ocean, the mountains, the lakes...it is a beautiful state.  Since living here we have taken up kayaking, gone to Acadia National park every year, and climbed Mt. Katahdin.  As far as the frogger goes...I love frogs.  I currently have 2 adult frogs, 1 froglet, and 4 tadpoles.  2 of the bathrooms in my house are decorated with frogs.  My favorite frog is the African Clawed Frog which lives totally in water.

I have created this blog for an assignment in my first course in a Masters of Library Science.  It is for the lesson on Social Networking and Platforms.  I have been a part of Facebook for about 2 years.  I have mixed feelings about social networking.  I have really enjoyed getting in touch with old friends and catching up.  I also enjoy playing some mindless games (not ones where I harass my friends) as a stress reliever.  My family lives in a small town about a 1/2 hour from most of our close friends so I really love being able to connect with them during the week on Facebook in chats and messages.  My biggest irritation with Facebook is the oversharing.  I have blocked and even "unfriended" several people because I am sick of hearing what they ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and how many push-ups they did last night. 

Well, there you have it.  My first blog.
