No one has to read this post. I just couldn't help blogging this, though. I found a way to get all your status updates for the last year and I'm putting them down for posterity. Well, they won't care either. I'm putting them down for me. Here goes.
Rachel Romney Preslar:

July:
…is noticing that 11:05 on a Saturday night is not too late to finish her daughter's blessing dress for tomorrow. Holy procrastination, Batman!
August:
…is happy to welcome two new nieces into the world, but is pretty sure that my baby is the best one! …just got back from 500 days of summer and already has the soundtrack, …is wondering why it's always the morning after I stay up really late that the kids decide to get up at the A**-crack of dawn, …loved Julie and Julia, and has the best baby ever, …should check to see if she's logged in and not her husband before posting that she wants her mommy. Sorry Troy. He's fine without his mommy, …has almost recovered from the big day. Not quite, …can not turn off her brain, so I guess it's good morning, …is about to attempt the birthday cake, …just savored an omelet made with sauteed mushrooms and shallots, Swiss cheese all the way from Wisconsin, and topped with a Brandywine tomato from the back yard. Heaven, …Has just made her first ever school lunch. And sent off her first ever 1st grader, …just pulled two perfect loaves of garlic rosemary bread out of the oven. In the words of Uncle Jimmy, "Oh Mamma!" …Awesome. I just spent the ENTIRE day doing laundry. It's 11:00 at night, I just put the last of it away, put the last pillowcase on the last pillow, and my son gets up to tell me he wet the bed. I quit.

Never thought I'd go to more than one of those in one night!

How did you do this? I've been wanting to do this, but I'm too lazy to rewrite them all. Can this count as a journal? :)
That's really cool. If I were on facebook, I would want to do that too!
do tell -- how did you get these?
So this was actually a total pain to do. I saw on facebook that there is an application to do this, but that it only lets you do about 10 or 15 of your updates. So I just copied and pasted each statement into word, edited and then pasted into a post. I'm not sure where to find the app - a friend had done it. Keep your eyes out on facebook.
I so need to check your fb page more often. I had no idea you had so many status updates. Hmmm, methinks my settings might be strange . . . Hope to meet you there more often this year, sis.
