New Beginnings

Hello Ladies and Gents!

As I begin this new blog, I am preparing to de-activate my Facebook account (Yes, this is an actual process for me rather than just a click of the button). I not only have to mentally and emotionally prepare myself for such a change, but I also have to warn my friends and family who may notice I suddenly go missing or are worried by Ross's relationship status change. Now, before anyone worries, let me explain myself...

• NO. Ross and I did NOT break up. Contrary to what Facebook may want to say. Actually, our relationship has grown even deeper in the past few weeks. PTL (Praise the Lord!).

• You may wonder (as my mother did) why it's any better to de-activate one account to just begin a new account... please read further for explanation on this point. I promise I do have a point. My reasoning for deleting Facebook is multifaceted... 
• Not only am I sucked into hours of mindless "creeping" but I am also creeped out by the number of people who could be "creeping" on me. 
• Facebook has a Big Brother vibe going on... I'm not a huge fan of the ads that pop up on the side of my screen and how well they seem to have seen into my soul. 
• And finally... I am ever so slightly expressing my rebellion against "The Man"... whoever he may be. Facebook has seem to taken over and I'd like to make a statement to the public (as well as myself) that Facebook is NOT, in fact, a vital part of society. 

• Why I like a blog better...
• The blog does not have a never-ending-news-feed-vortex-of-doom. Enough said.
• This will be a space for me to share, express and write about my life with out being judged for over-sharing on Facebook. 
• All of the blogs, websites and businesses I follow on Facebook will soon have their own link to the right side of this page. Now I will make the effort to check in on these sites when I have time rather than being sucked into the vortex.

I in no way believe my life to be interesting enough to merit the need for its own website. I do, however, wish to share the interesting tid-bits of my life with you if you so wish to stop by and take a peek every once in a while. If you would like to be notified of every new post on this blog, there is a space to follow via e-mail at the bottom of the page.
