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...

Winter Items I Can't Live Without

  If you have read my blog, like ever, you know winter and I have kind of a tolerate, bordering on really dislike, each other kind of relationship.  If I could have snow without ice and in 50 degree weather, life would be fine for those 4-5 months.  I don't really dislike snow.  But I can't handle being cold.  At All!!   Ok, Rant over, for today, maybe, until it is brought up again....   What can I not live without?   A Warm Coat...my favorite coat is my black puffer coat.  It was super cheap from Sam's eleven (yes, eleven) years ago.  It is the warmest coat ever and luckily has never went out of style.  The zipper is being a little iffy this year and I just might cry if I talk about it too long.  This coat washes and drys so well and does not look like it has been a winter staple for eleven years.  I also have a North Face that I love but if it is below 20, the black coat wins hands down, every time. ...

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!!
