Facebook is experiencing an outage today. I've heard so many complaints about this, but I think this may be a good thing.
Omg, now we'll have to *gasp* actually talk to someone to find out what they're up to! Noooooo!
Although I'm an admitted Facebook addict, this little break is good, people. We're getting too wrapped up in our virtual world and not paying enough attention to the real world. Unless this already exists and I'm just ill-informed, I think we should have a Facebook Free Week.
Think you could do it?
Let me tell you, that would be hard for me. I have friends all over the country, and some in other countries. There are people I have befriended that I honestly didn't think I'd ever see again. And I'm not saying to ditch Facebook entirely- it definitely has a place in the modern world of communication and technology. I'm just saying that maybe we should all step away for a little while.
I know I've been more productive today (well, uh, except for wasting time typing this). The kitchen is clean, the boys are well-fed and entertained, the laundry is done, I called my mom, etc. Perhaps we should all have a few days like this, so we can really appreciate Facebook and remember what it's here for: to keep up to date with people in our lives, not to keep up to the minute. Really, no one needs to log into Facebook twenty times a day (*ahem*)- there aren't that many things going on. Life goes on, in or out of Facebook. Let's get to living it!

I love my FB but agree that it gets a lil out of control with people that change their status 20 x's a day. I always wonder if they have actually have a life...or actually just have WAY to much time on their hands. Do we really need to know that you're making dinner and using these 5 ingredients??? Or that you're in bed...really? Or GTL? Hehe. No, not really.
But I do love it...but not as much as some people I guess :)
