The Facebook Follow Up



Except for a few minutes of desperation and one really did need and want to let someone know I was thinking of them when they had a loss in their family, I Did It!!  I went a week without FB and lived!!!

Did I miss it....yes
Did I like it....yes
Will I continue on this fast....probably not

I have learned a few things about myself.  I am too nosey sometimes and I don't always like being in the know.  I can survive with only knowing the things that concern me. 

Facebook is still full of alot of negative energy, and that is not something I need in my life.  I am all for venting but the mean things said to and about others,  and the vague jabs at people are so not cool.  No longer do I plan to give these statuses a space in my mind.  I no longer care who those things are targeted at. 

As far as the comparisons topic.  It is still my issue whether or not I am on Facebook.  I still find ways to compare myself to others.  This is not the fault of Facebook but is definitely a means to feed this personal flaw.  I truly am happy for others and do not hold blessings against them.  I am very blessed myself and love to share those blessings with others. 

What started out as a rant ended up being a good life lesson.  I am no longer "fasting" but have decided to continue on a "diet" of limiting my facebook time. 

And btw....the Krabel's did and said a lot of funny things, too bad I couldn't post them last week :)

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!! 

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
