I'm going to assume that you are online right now or you wouldn't be reading this...but, somebody could have printed this out and handed it to you...oh dear.
The reality is that you and your daughter are at very different places in your lives and probably in your means of communicating. You each bring something very special to the table:you have wisdom learned from experience and she has knowledge and capabilities that astound you. You need to be able to bridge the technology gap..whats all that about linkedin and facebook that she keeps talking about???
MoB, your daughter is connected up the wahzoo and if you haven't tried to catch up, NOW is the time.
If you don't have a facebook account, sign up..wait till you see all the people you went to high school and college with hahahah some doozies..but you have to paste your photo in too, so don't laugh too much! it's a fun way to see photos of your daughter and her friends so you know who they are when you meet them.
One word: EXCEL ,having that guestlist list in a spiral notebook does a whole-lotta nothing for nobody...you need spreadsheets..COlor coded spreadsheets !
If you don't have a smartphone-what's a smartphone?!- then join the 21st century and learn how to operate a Blackberry, a Droid or an IPhone, there are tutorials and classes at Verizon , ATT and the AppleStore. Keep the lines of communication open and be available, especially if your daughter doesn't live near you.
Long live the text message.. typical communication between Lizzie and me thought text messages:
Lizzie: what time is dress appt?
Me: 3
Lizzie: r u coming?
Me: yup,c u there xox
Lizzie: xox
Short, sweet and to the point...unlike my typical ramblings.
