Snap Back to reality!

Welcome back to the world of living!! That's what I've been telling myself lately.  I've recently decided (due to a new relationship and not wanting to be "that girl") to delete my Facebook account.  Do you have any idea the amount of free time I am now left with?  I've started a new book, started writing again, my house has NEVER been cleaner, the dishes are done, and the laundry... Well the laundry is still piled up.  Only because I loath doing it!  Like millions around the world, any bit of boring down time I have had was diverted to checking my Facebook.  Who is doing what, who is complaining about who and really, why the hell did I even care.  I suppose its my modern day As the World Turns.  The drama on the book was as juicy as a screenplay at times.  Now, I will admit I have contributed to some of that drama.  I, a time or two, would get charged up about something and for some reason instead of calling a friend and ranting to them I made a status.  This then triggers a reaction and usually a nasty text message from a family member or mass messages in the inbox asking "whats going on."  Usually with in minutes I delete the dramatic post so that I am not to be grouped in with the attention seekers.    Facebook has served its purpose though.  Its kept me in touch with my family that lives all over the globe.  Its allowed me to see cousins grow up that I would normally not see but once every umpteen years.  Its reconnected me with people that I genuinely do care about, and best of all, It connected me w/ the love of my life.  So all in all I can't say that Facebook was all that bad.  I am however feeling a sense of peace with out it.  

With all this free time I am acquiring, I've decided to try blogging.  I'm not real sure on how this is suppose to go, or if anyone will even read what I blog about, but I think I lead a fairly interesting life or have up to this point.  I hope that maybe by chance, that someone reads my blogs and giggles a little or can relate to what I've wrote.  Even if no one ever reads a single word, its going to be nice to just type out my inner thoughts, free my mind of all the junk that has been floating around in my noggin.

Well ladies and gents, this is the start of my journey...   I hope that if you are reading this you stay tuned.  You might just enjoy the ride!
