Ok for those of you who think I have totally lost my mind or who have some unnatural attachment to Facebook, let me start by saying I UNDERSTAND! I think Facebook is one of the primary reasons our move to Texas has been bearable. The other is my amazing neighbors, more about them later. With FB I was able to connect and keep in touch with family and friends. I had a connection I wouldn't have otherwise had. That being said, I am extremely annoyed and bored with it! I am hoping this takes it's place and I am able to reach even more "non facebook" family and friends on a little more private level.
As far as the losing my mind part of the first sentence, well we all know that has been happening for years so just try and go with it, that's what I do, and Shaun pretends to not notice at all anymore!
I have discovered, (more like confirmed) over the last 2 years that I have a bit of an addictive personality. Hey! I hear you snickering out there..... anyway Facebook, up until now, has been a huge addiction for me. I get up in the middle of the night grab a glass of water and check FB, first thing in the morning, last thing at night, on my phone, well you get the point. I truly love knowing what's going on with the people I care about by their weather posts, baby announcements, wedding pictures etc. What I don't/won't miss are the viruses, the people from your past who think there is still a connection there, even if there never was a connection to begin with, the public arguments, whining, moaning, and OH my all time favorites the people who can't control the garbage that comes out of their mouths. Seriously people I ran a lumber yard for 6 years and these people could make even the worst contractor blush!
I have seen the Light! or the blog as the case may be....
So as of today at 9:24pm Central time I am declaring FaceBook as the devil! If you haven't seen the movie Water Boy with Adam Sandler this may seem like a religious statement to you and O.K. that's fine to. As I mentioned before just try to go with it, that's what Shaun does and it has worked for him for 31 years.
Do I miss FB? I will let you know, but in the last 15 minutes I have done pretty good without it! I will keep you posted :D
Love to all and blog on!
