Well, life had been crazy lately. I think part of the problem was information overload... mostly from the computer. I love Facebook, but my brain just can't keep up with what over 300 people are doing in their everyday life. I also was reading a bunch of money saving blogs. They give you tips on great deals for the day and how you can get items for free. It is really a great resource, but they post about 20 deals a day. There is no way I can keep track of that many deals and in fact it makes me feel like every time I buy something for full price, I have failed. One women buys all of her groceries for $40 a week-- sometimes less. I have just come to the conclusion that I cannot possibly do that. So I am taking a fast from Facebook and I think I am going to unsubscribe to my money saving blogs. I hate to do it because I really do find some good tips on there. I guess I just don't want my whole life to be about saving money. Next thing I want to try is to only check my email twice a day. Just thinking about it gives me a bad feeling. I think I really am addicted to all of this stuff. In all my spare moments, I want to run to the computer. So I this is kind of like my confession. Part of the reason I love all of these things is that it keeps me in touch and I love that. But I think I can keep in touch in a more healthy way by having set times in the day when I am on the computer. So, I will probably be back on Facebook in a week, but with more boundaries. Life has already been made simpler without it.
My next post will be pictures of our new addition to the house! Brian and Papa got the door, floor joists, and window in. They will start framing the walls today.

Mary,
I so totally relate. I have done a "FB fast" twice. I like the idea of only checking email 2x a day. I think being a mom of young kids makes your crave human connection with the outside world. I'm with you!
I need to do a fast too. Facebook and eating.
