Goodbye...

So I was chatting with a friend on Friday (you know who you are:) about how much time we can waste on social networking sites and sometimes even blogging and following people's blogs (I am guilty of both). I really started thinking that I need to cut a couple things out of my life so I can better manage my spare time and energy being more productive doing things that are actually meaningful and worthwhile instead of sitting in front of my laptop and screwing around. I have decided to delete (or deactivate since it seems impossible to delete) my facebook account. This site, for some flipping reason, is a tad addicting for me. I know that it is for almost anyone, but when you don't have a job except being a mom to a tiny baby who sleeps a few hours a day, you can find yourself wasting a few hours on facebook and not even know it. I don't think I was ever on it for hours at a time, but if I added up all the times I would check my facebook from my laptop or phone, then go profile stalking, it would add up to that sometimes. Lame. I am getting a life and getting rid of facebook, at least for now, and hopefully forever. If I ever do go back, I am doing a serious revamp of my 'friends' and only keeping people I actually keep in contact with, not just random people from high school, people I know through other people and so forth. It's so lame. My friend and I couldn't really remember what life was like before facebook. What did we do when we were bored? There were no profiles to stalk, no new uploads to look at, and no random invites to events to rsvp to. So I am going to try and go back to that time, and actually talk to the people I am friends with instead of 'write on their walls' and see how it feels for a change. I actually deactivated my profile on Friday night (two days ago) and I haven't missed it. I am a little shocked actually. Going from checking it all the time to nothing, I thought I would be aching to get back on. Haven't even thought about it or had the desire. Here's to hoping it stays that way and to filling up my spare time with anything but social networking :)
