First off, if it wasn’t for Twitter, I wouldn’t have won a free order of Lettuce Wraps from Pei Wei like I did today.

And second, if it wasn’t for Facebook, Jina wouldn’t have found an old friend from high school who gave us free stuff.

Jina found Kelli, whom she knew from way back in junior high in the jazzy ol’ town of Memphis. They found each other again because of Facebook, and Kelli decided to send us a little gift in celebration of Lyla Grace being born.

We received it about a week ago, totally out of the blue, had no idea it was coming. I wanted to post a little picture of what she sent (see a bit below) to say a big thank you to Kelli! I know she reads my blog from time to time, so I also thank her for that!

And also, if you want a chance to win free food from Pei Wei, sign up for Twitter and then follow me and then @PeiWei. The guy who runs their Twitter account is great at keeping you updated on new foods and then for giving stuff away from time to time.

If you don’t know what Facebook is, then you live a sheltered life. But it’s okay, I’m here to tell you about it. At least, a brief synopsis.

Facebook is a fantastic way to find friends and family, communicate with them on a daily basis, share what’s going on in your life, post photos for everyone to see and just have fun reconnecting with people.

It’s the grown-up verison of MySpace basically.

If you want to join, go to Facebook.com and then search for Mike Olbinski and I’ll be your first friend on there.

As a sample of stuff I upload to Facebook, here is a photo album of my 30th birthday bash back in 2005:
