Sometimes I find myself feeding my Lily girl in the middle of the night (read: every night, several times). She saves her best eating for when she’s mostly asleep. This doesn’t bother me – I love nighttime baby moments, maybe because I work full time, maybe because I don’t sleep that well anyway.
Often I find myself drowsy, however, and keep myself awake by browsing the internets on my phone. Last night I decided to see with whom I had the most “friends” in common on Facebook. I noticed right away (and it’s perfectly obvious) that the people with whom I shared the most friends were people with whom I interact in more than one context. For example, social friends who are / were also coworkers, or family members with whom I went to church or school.
The results:
Julie (friend / cousin of sister-in-law / graduate school): 27 mutual friends
Erin (coworker / student / friend): 45 mutual friends.
Marsha (cousin / track team / college / friend): 49 mutual friends.
Jill (sister-in-law, friend, social hub): 61 mutual friends
Karen (sister / student wards): 104 mutual friends.
Cami (sister / co-Boston-er / high school): 132 mutual friends.
But the person with whom I share the most “friends” ??? ???? ???
My mom: 142 mutual friends.
I have no idea what this says, other than we know (and presumably like) a lot of the same people, but this exercise kept me awake for at least five minutes. And now you’ve wasted about two minutes.
Yay Facebook.

LOL. :) Good entertainment! Your Mom seems like a wonderful lady - sharing the most friends with her probably means you're wonderful too.
Oh, and - I should finish that off by saying: YOU ARE! :)
You're mom's the epicenter of a lot. I'm glad I made the list. We really do have some very cool mutual friends.
We are enjoying Tim. He is very pleasant so we might not give him back.
Wow! I can't even think of 142 people I like. Also, you forgot to put "stalker" in the list by my name. :)
This is really interesting. I guess you are mom's favorite. The person I have the most friends in common with is Amanda Steele. No one I'm related to...facebook is truly a mystery.
That is the best compliment I have received this week! I love it.
I ain't even mad that I came in second. That Mom is one classy lady.
Ellen Patton and I share 143 friends.
Laura, we have at least 441 mutual friends that I know of. One of these days I will join facebook just to prove it.
I don't even know how to find how many mutual friends I have. It's another one of those cybermysteries!
Your friends are my friends!
