Facebook is my life??

I am trying to decide whether or not to give up Facebook (FB) for lent so until I decide for sure I will stay away. This being my first day without FB I am starting to wonder if Facebook is "my life." I like to go on the Internet in the evenings and surf while watching TV---and I am finding tonight without FB I am at a loss for stuff to do online. Needless to say I have found myself making my way around any blog I can find and fortunately because I visit the Nest a lot I can find a plethora of blogs to visit. I will admit--I have a friend that blogs and I have been checking hers all day so I can read her update and as of now she still hasn't updated. I find myself disappointed. I made my way to an organizing blog and it depressed me because this chick is like Martha Stewart! She ices cookies and they look like something you'd find at a store. She gave instructions and that just made it worse because who wants to spend that much time icing a darn cookie! Her spice drawer is organized---which depressed me because I don't have a silverware drawer let alone room for a spice drawer. I don't know how I gave up my 1 requirement for a house when we bought ours--all I wanted was counter space which would lead to cupboard space. I guess the decorative cupboards clouded my vision. They have glass doors so you can't really throw all your Tupperware in them. Then this chick was having a tea party and made teapot and tea cup cookies and hand dipped strawberries and put little drizzles on them. Needless to say I did bookmark her blog and will probably visit again----especially since I am on a FB hiatus and don't know what else to do with my time---maybe I should dip strawberries and drizzle them! :o)

Bad Habits

I have discovered (well Gary helped me discover) that I have this bad habit of nodding or shaking my head to answer a question. Which wouldn't be so bad except that I do it even when the person asking the question isn't looking. I'm trying to shake it but I caught myself doing it tonight. Oy Vey!!

News

Does the news depress anyone else? I just had the 11 O'clock news on and I kid you not the first stories went something like this---about 4 1/2 minutes on the auto companies tumbling down and 4 of the cities that would be affected by losing their property tax revenue then on to a couple of their suppliers that are holding on by a thread--actually one hasn't emerged from bankruptcy as fast as they thought. Then the very next story was DHL laying off 9500 people and then Circuit City filing for bankruptcy. I seriously had to leave my computer. I literally got up and walked out of the room. I have learned that I can't sit and listen to all of the doom and gloom anymore because I start to get depressed and have dark thoughts. They go away till the next time I hear a ton of bad news stories in a row. It's scary!

WELCOME!

Welcome to the Grand Opening of my new blog....

I am hoping that it will be a place for random thoughts, revelations, and the occasional gossip/rant. Stay tuned....
