Is there anything wrong with this website? Nope.
Did anything happen to make me want to delete my account? Not really.
I should start from the beginning of this story… every night we lay down to go to sleep and it goes a little something like this: AJ turns on the tv and finds a show he thinks is entertaining. He then manages to fall asleep with the remote in his hand in such a position that if I want to take it… it’s similar to Indiana Jones trying to move the relic without setting off the booby traps.
So I tend to lay there listening to whatever nonsense is on at midnight and trying to get my brain to slow down. I have never been able to understand why I’m not like most people when it comes to energy levels.
A normal person is a lot like a snow globe:
Snow globe before someone shakes it = Normal person sleeping
Shake up the snow globe = Normal person waking up with movement and energy throughout the day.
Snow globe particles eventually rest again = Normal person sleeping
And this all makes sense…that’s how someone’s energy level should be right?
I liken my energy level to the game Simon:
Simon game not started = Elyse Sleeping
Start Simon game (boring because it’s so easy in the beginning) = Elyse attempting to wake up and still dragging for quite some time throughout the day.
Simon game decides to get all Kill Bill on you and gets super fast and crazy = Elyse’s energy at night…when normal people are sleeping.
I digress…
So I’m lying in bed last night thinking about how I really should be using my time more wisely. Let’s not get crazy…I’m not going to stop watching television or surfing the internet but I do waste time that could be spent reading, spending time with the husband/family/friends, cleaning (much needed) , volunteering or exercising (also much needed).
Then it hit me…FaceBook.
FaceBook is my crack…my cigarette…my nightcap. I had the FaceBook application on my phone, on my ipod and of course access to it on my computer. I checked it periodically throughout the day, after work, while trying to do homework, while watching a movie, before bed…it was ridiculous. What a waste of time.
Do I really need to know that BlahBlah went to the movies today and had a super fabulous time? Nope. Do I really need to know that YaddaYadda updated their status to “In a Relationship” and now likes “Aerosmith” and “Kittens”. Nope.
Ultimately, I stay in touch with my close friends and family and it has nothing to do with this website so it was time to say goodbye to good ol’ FB.
So that’s it folks…I am no longer a FB junky…quit cold turkey and feeling good.
I will now focus more of my time on other things…perhaps this blog...it’s been neglected and it’s definitely a good outlet for my randomness.
Love,
Elyse
