Facebook Detox...

I just got done looking back at several years worth of blog entries. 4 years to be exact. While reading these entries, I kept thinking to myself, 'wow, I'm so glad I have these stories to look back on'. My entries range from, kids. financial wowes. house stuff. marriage. pregnancy. bedrest. wishes. wants. vacations. friends & family. hard times and good times. I can honestly say, I am so glad I have blogged over the years. CAN I SAY THAT ABOUT FACEBOOK???? Will I look back and say, 'wow, I'm so glad I facebooked about this & that'? No... probably not. And because of facebook, my blog has been horribly neglected. Facebook is a great way for people to connect. But I'm starting to feel too connected. Facebook is part of the reason why I didn't feel the need to go to my 10 year high school reunion. I already know what EVERY. SINGLE. person from high school is up to. I know if they're married, single, gay, how many kids, where they've been and what they ate for breakfast that day. And honestly, there are just some things that I don't want to know about certain friends & family. So my friends, this is why I'm doing a FACEBOOK DETOX. Starting on Monday, October 3rd , I will remove facebook from my favorites list and have Tim change my password. Instead, I will blog each day. I will do this for a week straight {and maaaybe even longer, who know!}. And I will be sooooo glad I did. :o}

So funny, I randomly clicked on your blog from 'Next Blog' and the whole FB Detox thing has been thrown around a lot in our circle of friends recently. I wrote a blog for many years and printed out all of my entries, you are right- those are the things you will cherish and look back on fondly! Best wishes on your detox- be strong!

Sounds like a good idea. Count me in. I don't know how long it will last, but I'm tired of fb.

yeaaa, I love seeing all your blogs and feel good that this can be done w/o fear of "stalking". I'm just an on-looker as I don't have a life, therefore have nothing to blog that would be of interest.


ohhhh, same here, no word----
