A week without facebook

So it has been a week since I deactivated Facebook. I feel like a burden has been lifted. No longer am I entertaining people around facebook statuses, and I also feel like people aren't annoying me with 'advice' and unwanted comments from know-it-alls.

I have had friends who have genuinely sent me messages on my phone, and even given me a phone call. This is the best feeling ever!

I usually spend a lot of my day checking up on facebook to see if any of my 660 friends have uploaded a picture of their latest meal. I have often found myself at a loss. Usually I would be on my iPhone or laptop all day 'checking up'. Now I check my emails, look around on Pinterest, refresh twitter and sometimes even look at pretty postcards as I eagerly wait for one on Postcrossing. I then close my laptop, when usually it would stay on and I would refresh every 5 minutes or so.

There's a new freedom in my mind. Free from the crap that Facebook brings! And really, I don't think I want to go back. But would I be out of the loop if I didn't?

People will probably say that when I have a baby I won't have time anyway. Hello, nobody has time for Facebook. I'm sure we'd find time even with the demands on Motherhood!

I'm 39 weeks now. I'm due this Friday!
