An Eagles View: Facebook Smacebook

Facebook Smacebook

>> Tuesday, February 3, 2009

If you received a "friend request" from me on Facebook. Sorry about that. I OBVIOUSLY am not as technically competent as I would like to be in the foreign land of Facebook. It was a whirlwind of click-click-clack-click-click and Poof! Followed by a small dust cloud as facebook collided with everyone that I have ever received an email from in my blogging world.

As quickly as I created the account and sent of at least 6 million requests for all of you to be my 'friend', I realized what I had done, and was flushed with embarrassment.

Once the red left my cheeks, I re-evaluated and hopefully clicked the correct box as I de-activated the account. I don't need another vice to tie me to my keyboard. I think I will stick to my blogging.

Lorie , 03 February, 2009 21:27: I think that might have been the quickest facebook experience ever!

My husband loves Facebook, I am just not that into it....although Flair was fun for a day!
Kristina P. , 03 February, 2009 21:57: I thought I got an email from you, but when I went to go through my requests, you weren't there!

I would be happy to be your friend.
Cassie , 03 February, 2009 23:30: I have a facebook only because a friend forced me into it.I totally DO NOT get it.I only log on it when I know she's sent me a note.Why not just use e-mail?? It says things like: "right now I'm sleepy." Then go to bed and don't tell me about it!!!! BTW,right now I'm sleepy. G'nite.
B , 04 February, 2009 07:24: Facebook isn't my thing either. But if you deactivated it does that mean you don't want to be our friend after all?
Jillene , 04 February, 2009 08:07: That is why it doesn't take me to your accept page. I was gettng confused and hoping that you didn't thing that I don't like you or something!!
Jillybean , 04 February, 2009 08:41: That's the exact reason why I'm not on Facebook or Twitter.
I don't scrapbook either.
Randi Troxell , 04 February, 2009 08:49: yep.... i dont care for facebook much either (but i do have an account mainly so that my hubby can keep touch with his family in oklahoma)!
Shauna , 04 February, 2009 09:38: I am not on face book much. Work has been crazy busy here! ♥ Hugs :)
Dawn Parsons Smith , 04 February, 2009 11:17: I don't think I could manage Facebook, Twitter AND Blogging!!

I'm just sticking with my little bloggy for now:)
Dawn Parsons Smith , 04 February, 2009 11:17: Oh...but if I were on Facebook...I would definitely be your friend....hugs...
3 Bay B Chicks , 04 February, 2009 15:34: Amen, sister! Let's keep our craft pure. Just say no to social networking.

I am so glad that I didn't have to talk you down off of this cliff.

Jamie , 04 February, 2009 15:35: I had a facebook page because a friend talked me into it. I felt like a giant loser because I had 3 friends. So I spent the time sending flair to them. Then it became a distraction and I deactivated. I'm so happy that I am not the only one who could do it.
Just SO , 04 February, 2009 15:50: I am loving facebook but it's because I'm catching up with old friends from HS and college. Ha!

BTW I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the picture of your son with the upside down crown on his head. LOVE it!
Jen , 04 February, 2009 16:29: Sniff-sniff, but totally understand why you don't want one more vice!
Lee , 04 February, 2009 20:31: I de-activated my facebook for the exact some reason.
Myspace and blogging is enough for me.
Bobie , 05 February, 2009 07:43: When I first started reading it, I thought what the heck is she thinking.... You have like what?? 20 blogs?? he he
kel , 05 February, 2009 08:10: I just joined and I am so confused!!!
Anonymous , 05 February, 2009 14:30: I love FB but it does have it's UUGGHHH tendencies!!!
Jessica G. , 05 February, 2009 16:11: I refuse to join Facebook. There's people I used to know out there that I really don't want to know about my life but I would feel way too guilty about rejecting friend invites.
Kathy , 05 February, 2009 16:12: My daughter keeps trying to talk me into facebook! I KNOW I don't need another reason to facilitate my butt spreading and folding itself around the chair in front of my computer. She's also the one who talked me into blogging. Then when I started blogging, she abandoned for Facebook. hmmmm...
Donna , 05 February, 2009 17:11: I was trying to figure out why you weren't there when I clicked on the link with your friend request. Now I understand! I started using Facebook in December and they make it tricky--they want you to e-mail all of your friends with requests, which I had to be super-careful not to do. So I understand. Facebook is fun though, and I do enjoy it. But you have enough on your hands with all of your cool blogs!
Anonymous , 05 February, 2009 20:46: Why does facebook do that? Just because you've contacted someone once upon a time does not mean you want to be tied facebookishly to them. lol
A Friendly Reader Only , 06 February, 2009 00:35: Facebook?? I have not even checked this out - I am having enough trouble keeping up with my blog. Loved your post about your shoes - I had to look really close myself to see a difference - so I know I would have done the same thing.
Kristie , 06 February, 2009 09:17: I wondered why I couldn't find you! I would be your friend if you would let me!
McMrs , 06 February, 2009 09:30: I also de-activated my facebook!

What I'm Doing Here...

I blog for so many reasons. This started as your typical 'Mommy Blog' but quickly evolved into so much more. I blog to stay sane, document our days and to express myself.

I like to claim this as my little corner of the blogosphere. A safe place for me to share my story, my boys and their crazy antics, our adventures as a family and the odd occurrences of our household.

I'm grateful for all of you that support my ramblings -on a daily basis- and welcome those of you visiting for the first time. Its my hope that you come and sit a while; that we may have a chance to get to know each other.
