So its 2012

I decided one day that I would buck the system, go old school, resist the temptation and deactivate my facebook account. It was such a relief to not have to update my status or check my newsfeed during bathroom breaks. All was going well. Then I started missing things. Oh it was little things at first...a co-workers meal...a friends wardrobe choice...an old schoolmates daily horoscope. Then I started walking into half missed conversations. I hadn't missed the conversation, it had taken place on facebook. I started leading and ending conversations with "I'm not on facebook". Then the excuses started. I missed bridal showers, baby showers, 48 hour sales, birthdays, anniversaries...people were getting haircuts, new shoes, new spouses. People started getting married and having babies. All of this without my knowledge. Craziness was happening. And I was blind to it all. So after 6 months of this I decided to return to facebook, atleast to a select group of people. I dropped most of my friends, well on facebook anyway. They may very well still be my friends in real life, although some of them I wondered who they were, and how we were "friends". But I whittled my friend list down to just the family. Anyway my point is upon returning go facebook I rediscovered my blog. So here we are blogging away in 2012. Welcome back, dear readers.
