You chat several times a day with a stranger from South Africa, but you haven't spoken with your next door neighbor yet this year.
Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.
You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
Cleaning up the dining room means getting the fast food bags out of the back seat of your car.
