Skype is So In
My mind is- you guessed it- in a whirlwind today. So before I list the reasons why Skype has become the new cool thing in our house, let me just take some rambling liberties (it is my blog afterall) and list some things around this house that are in need of attention.
- Clean all the glass surfaces in this house (including mirrors, especially including the mirrors in my bedroom and the oven)
- Organize my part of the basement, which means get rid of old picture frames
- Get all the toys out of my craft room
- Set up crib in the office and make that Miles new sleeping quarters
- Put away Christmas boxes in basement
- Keep the computer desk clean (it is the dumping ground for stuff)
- Go through Finn's school paperwork
- Put display in living room glass cabinet
- Start working on some crafty project
- Clean off the clutter on my dresser
- Stow Travis' guitar amp in the closet
- Laundry, laundry, laundry
(There's lots more, but those are the main ones I can think of right now)
So, back to Skype. My Dad sent us a computer camera recently and we've been in camera commotion ever since. This morning Finn sung to Ruby (in Washington) while she finished off her breakfast. And, last night, apparently, Ivy and Finn got into a conversation, which I was not a part of because I was upstairs giving Lucy a bath.
Seeing yourself in camera view takes lots of mental "I'm okay" talking though. You see yourself in this grainy, distorted angle and you feel the need to do some serious primping (at least I do). In a Skype video conversation with my Mom and Erin this morning, we talked alot about hair. The computer camera will do that to you.

Webcams are definitely low-quality output.
Our computer desk is a dumping ground, too, but it's a lot smaller than yours, so it fills up faster.
