Facebook again

Hi there, Well I think I heard somewhere once that it takes 21 days to break a habit and I am fairly sure I have passed that amount of time since deleting my Facebook account. I actually think there is something to that because I am pretty proud of myself for sticking to it this time.
Other than connecting to an old friend, I was just completely annoyed by it so much so that I had to blog about it. What I have found is that I am much less of a b word now that I don't have to complain about how sickening it is when some people post stupid s&%* and brag about how wonderful their lives are when I am sure that they aren't nearly as perfect as they try to display them to be. No one has it as great as some make it seem unless they are independently wealthy and can do whatever they want whenever they want. Those are the only people I would say might have a chance at being so blissfully happy. Other than that, I would say we all have our issues.
I have become much more organized and productive as a mom and a teacher since I rid myself of that bragbook. I do have to admit that once in awhile I will peek at Mike's Facebook, but then I roll my eyes and swear that I am not going to do that anymore. I may have stopped mine, but I haven't stopped peeking every week or so at his, so I can't say I am 100% cured. Must be something about that human nature that pulls me to it. I'm just glad I only spend time on my computer doing research for my job, working, doing IEPs, checking my email, and peeking at the Californian once a week or so. Other than that, I refuse to be a slave to my computer and let my ass get flatter sitting down and staring at the computer screen. Now my problem is when people email me and I don't get back to them immediately, they wonder what is happening. Well, what is happening is I am making dinner, cleaning out my garage, petting my dogs, walking Smush, preparing for my university class, watching some TV, sitting out in my backyard, enjoying my new home finally, and other productive things that do not include me being on a couch with a computer on my lap. I am pretty sure I will not regret the good decision I made to live my life in a way that I won't look back and wonder why I felt I needed to live my life in cyberspace.
