Skype: Slip-Slidin' Away

Now, don't die of shock...but this is actually a Learning 2.0 activity that I did awhile ago without being forced to do it because of an assignment! A couple of years ago, my brother and his family moved to St. Louis so he could attend graduate school. Keep in mind that I do not come from a family where children move far away!! All of my aunts and uncles live in Utah.

Anyway, as soon as my sister-in-law heard about Skype, she gave us all webcams (it took awhile for all of our birthdays to come around=) and made sure that we all got Skype accounts. It has been wonderful being able to maintain our connection with them and their two beautiful daughters despite being more than a thousand miles away from each other. We haven't had to miss my nieces open birthday or Christmas presents--we've been able to see the unwrapping take place!

Now for an explanation of this post's title. We had a blackout a couple of days ago, and it murdered our home computer. For the life of me, I can't remember what our Skype account name is! I didn't have to memorize it before--it was just always there on our computer! I texted my brother to see if he has our account name saved (which I'm sure he does), but I haven't heard back yet. Therefore, I am simply blogging about Skype in this post. As soon as I find out what my name is, I'll post again to let you know what it is!!
