I think I found it!
Archivedbook, which I found doing a Google search for "retrieving all old facebook posts" seems to work like a charm! So if you, like me, have tried to find something you know you posted at one time, you can try this website. I actually spent some time and found that original post I had lost!
I also noticed that I threatened to leave FB multiple times in the last 2 years. I should really just commit to the blog and lose the FB. Argh!

Not so itinerant after all
When I started this particular blog back in 2011 things were very different for my family. We lived in Los Alamos, and I had a full-time job as a chemist. Danny was still finishing up his PhD. Zoe was only 4!
Now in 2014 we live in Phoenix, Danny has a postdoc at Arizona State University, and I'm the one working from home. Zoe has been in public school since Kindergarten, and her current school is excellent. It would take a LOT of adversity for me to take her out of public school and do homeschool.
We were only "supposed" to live in AZ for a couple of years. Danny's postdoc was funded for 2 years for sure. Now we have lived in AZ for two+ years, and Danny has an NSF fellowship with another 3 years of funding at ASU. Hopefully we will be able to stay in AZ until Zoe finishes 5th grade.
I find that time is passing more quickly as I get older. Summer is half over already, and my kiddo will be in 3rd grade soon! I know the fall is going to pass quickly. It seems amazing how different life is now, and yet I often don't even think about it, and I feel the same as I did 10 years ago! I'm 32 this year! I'm starting to have trouble recalling my exact age! I know I'm somewhere in my 30s. What does it matter?

Finally went for a run!
After a break of over a month, I finally went for a run! I didn't want to run in the heat, but I think my body needs to right now. After a month I felt really out of shape despite continuing to climb and do yoga and strength work. My body seems to be needing extra cardio right now. This run felt so good!
So I guess I'm going to brave the early morning heat for my body's sake. Oh well.

Things are always happening
I've said before that I'm going to do more blogging. Then I go back to Facebook for whatever reason. I guess I don't really like blogging, nor do I like Facebook.
I'm an introvert, but it's not that simple. As I get older I am learning how my nuanced personality affects my worldview and how I interact with the world. One aspect of that I've been thinking about lately is friendships. We've lived in Arizona for 2 years now. And I have a couple friends. Nothing special. It takes me a long time to find friends. I think that things like Facebook hurt my ability to make friends, and even maybe my desire. I work at home during the day, so I don't have coworkers I see and chat with. The only people I see during a given week are Danny, Zoe, a couple other moms at school, and that's about it. During summer, it might be just Danny and Zoe. I find that sometimes I "flee" to Facebook to feel like I'm getting some human interaction. And I'm not really getting that interaction.
Now not that this is really bad, but I think it's bad for me, and my personality. It makes me less likely to actually have a conversation with people. Call my friends on the phone, say. So I need to work on that.
