{maybe someone will “like” me}

You may have already noticed the change to my blog — I now have a Facebook “like” button under each post title.

Last night I set up Facebook pages for my little {nifty thrifty things} blog. I gave in to what felt like peer pressure (or maybe because I enjoy exploring new things so much.. ;) ). It seems like everyone is having a Facebook page for their blog.

I don’t know what it’s good for yet, except for spending even more time in front of the computer, but maybe it’ll bring on some more fun and getting to know even more awesome people.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone slept as good into the new year as I did. Not even my phone interrupted my zzz’s, which was kinda weird since I set an alarm on my phone to not sleep in too long. Fortunately I didn’t have any appointments to be late for.
I just assumed I had slept through the alarm and checked my phone. After consulting my good friend Google I found out it’s not unique to my phone, it’s an iPhone “disease”.

But why would something as simple as an alarm just stop working? Solely because it’s New Years? Sounds like Apple’s own Y2K..

Well, who knows what happened — if you do, please shoot me a mail! ;)
It’s said the alarm will be back to it’s old self by January 3^rd. Yaay! Nonetheless, for every important appointment I will always set a second alarm from now on. Better be safe than sorry.

Again, Happy New Year, especially to those who won’t be woken up for the next two days.
