A quick look through my past posts will clearly show anyone who is curious that I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I even took about six months off from the social media giant last year (nobody noticed) after I realized I was becoming depressed when I didn’t get the attention I expected; that realization… Continue reading A Pet Peeve About Facebook
“We want to be loved,’ ” quotes Britt-Marie. “ ‘Failing that, admired; failing that, feared; failing that, hated and despised. At all costs we want to stir up some sort of feeling in others. The soul abhors a vacuum. At all costs it longs for contact.’ ” ― Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry Today… Continue reading 4 Weeks Facebook Free
Although I’ve been out of touch, my blog has not been out of my mind. And here I am getting back into the swing of things with my new list for the Top 5 Things I Hate About Coming Home from Home. Wait, wait, what did that say? Did she make a mistake? No, let… Continue reading Top 5 List for November 18, 2016
A few months ago, while on a family vacation in Washington, DC, my mom sent a text and asked, “I thought you were in DC.” I replied that I was but I wasn’t posting pictures because my oldest daughter was staying in our house alone and I didn’t want to advertise that the majority of… Continue reading Why You Should Wait to Share Vacation Photos on Facebook
Yesterday, I did something that I swore I wasn’t going to talk about on this blog but I decided that with all the information I received, I needed to get one part of the session out into the open so that it can stop circulating in my mind.

What’s with all the people who post on Facebook about how they’ve recently cleaned house, unfriended people left and right? Is this supposed to make me feel good that I’ve somehow managed to avoid being part of the carnage? Am I supposed to be overjoyed that the Facebook friend has deemed my friendship worthy because… Continue reading Facebook Friend Carnage
What I’ve noticed today is that sometimes I have nothing truly profound to say. You may even argue that I never have anything deep to share, and I may chuckle and agree. However, today I do have something to say — it’s about how people are treating their friends. What I’ve noticed today is the… Continue reading What I’ve Noticed Today is…

What I have noticed is that I get very little personal email anymore, and I think it’s due to Facebook. People no longer… Continue reading Trend Spotting: You Have No New Messages
Maybe it’s a mid-life crisis (if I plan on being really, really old when I die) or maybe it’s because my kids have gotten older and don’t need me as much, but whatever the reason, I feel aimless, useless and stagnant. These unpleasant feelings have me searching for the meaning behind why I was put… Continue reading My Sweet Life With a Little Help From Sugar
Another birthday passed last month. I was depressed but didn’t think too much about it because I’m always depressed around my birthday. I know why I’m depressed, know I can’t (or I’m not willing to) do anything about it, and I know it passes. Every single year my birthday comes (thank God for that), the… Continue reading Friends In Real Life
