Facebook killed the blog....

I truly believe that facebook is the arch enemy of the blogger. I use to love racing to the computer anxious to see what all my peeps ate for dinner last night, who watched American Idol, and what was on for the days agenda. I would compose blog posts in my head while cooking, cleaning, often while in the shower. If only they had an App for that! You think it and then it's published ;) Then came the big "F" . Suddenly you knew what everyone was doing, when their birthday was, and their location at any given moment. It took seconds to scroll down the news feed and get caught up. You could do it from your phone, no longer chained to the computer. It was wonderful...the ultimate multi tasking tool for the busy mom. Often I had lamented how blogging would drag me away from schooling or waste the precious little time I had available. And ~**WALA~** along came facebook. It became easier and easier to neglect visiting my blog. I caught up with all my friends on one page. I could comment without typing in BOTSWANA. You could multi upload a file of PICTURES!!!!!!!!!! It was kind of like love... Not as personal as a blog, but a hybrid that was fulfilling my need at the time. Summer was crazy, I didn't need to be on the computer going down rabbit trails wasting my mornings, so my blog languished out in cyber space. Since I wasn't at the computer I didn't check my friends blogs. My phone still worked so I would chat but I am sure each time I didn't know an event they blogged about it was disappointing. I mean the best reason to blog is for an audience right?? But alas between cramming six virtual school classes, moving my sister home, and babysitting Jake, I needed a blog break for the summer. Well we can all agree summer is long over and I am ready to return.
The shine is off facebook, and I am ready for it to go away for a while. I truly do not care what everyone ate for dinner, just my peeps! I am going to take one day at a time and in order to get back in the habit post once a day for 30 days. By the end I should be back in the groove!
