I won't even pretend this post has a theme (or title)

I wanted to let you all know that i've done something drastic...

I've left facebook.

I realize this might come as a shock to some of you, given that i've been on it at least once a day (usually, several more) since 2004, the year it started.

I was due for a cleanse. A facebook colonic, if you will.*

In this, the month of actually sticking to new year's resolutions, i decided it was time for a detox.

It needed to be cold turkey. I'm not one who's able to simply ignore it's presence, we needed to break-up.

I've been facebook free for a week now, and I'm starting to like it.

at first, like all good addicts, i was obsessive. I had the shakes and kept day dreaming of getting to login.

But now, now i am liberated. I honestly don't spend that many evenings at home, but the ones that i have, have been super productive.

And that was the whole reason for getting off facebook. I still love social media, but there are quite a few aspects of my personal life that have needed attention. My to-do list has been piling-up, and I've been able to procrastinate for months by wasting hours online.

Since i've been off facebook-only for a week, mind you- it's amazing what i've already accomplished.

don't worry, this isn't a permanent fixture. I'll sign back in eventually, but i have a couple personal goals that i need to accomplish before i "treat" myself to that.

So there you go, the truth's out. In other news:

This is what my dinner looked like.

spinach, celery, and cucumber

Speaking of detox, my body has been screaming at me for all the crap i've loaded it with since thanksgiving. We're going on a but of a cleanse too, eh.

and finally, since i was kind enough to update you on the upstairs bathroom. here's what the 1/2 bath now looks like.

Pretty!

*you're all welcome for that visual.

pretty!

It's finished, and it's glorious.
