My big break-up with Facebook is almost complete. I've been hanging on far longer than I should have and it's just time to make a clean break. It's not Facebook, it's me. You see Sam has not been happy about me having an account for quite sometime now and I've holding on because there are so many pictures on there that I need to save to my computer do they're not gone forever and it is so convienient to have all my far away friends in one place to keep tabs on but honestly facebook is a complete time suck and now that I have an iPhone I find myself checking Facebook far too often and checking out of quality time with my family. It's been a subtle transition for months now. I have slowly dwindled down my friends list to the bare minimum so I'm not over stimulated by the constant updates of people I barely know but even still I am constantly distracted. No more! I can do this. A good friend of mine did it and she is still alive to tell the tale. So I just need to stop cold turkey and like ripping off a band aid it will probably sting for a minute but then it will be all over. I've got plenty of social networking still available to me with twitter and Pinterest. Now when I update about my kids and my life I will be forced to go into details and keep this journal that I told myself this blog would be. I want to make it into a bound book someday so I can have all these memories to look back on and and two or three word sentence on facebook does not make a very good book.
I can do this!
