Facebook Follies

Until I got my ipad, I was only on Facebook once a month or so.  I have since downloaded the Facebook app on my ipad, so I do get on Facebook every couple of days.  I have decided to go back to only looking at it every month as it is to depressing.

Facebook can be very useful when keeping up with acquaintances or learning what is going on with our cousins' families.  However, when I log on and everyone is bragging how they have lost x pounds in the last few weeks, or how many miles they have ran training for their marathon, it depresses me.  Knowing that I need to lose weight, and trying by starting to make the bare minimum changes.  Or reading about how a majority of people I know are taking trips to Hawaii, Jamaica, Cancun and I have currently have no vacation plans.

Maybe I am just backwards, but seeing all the posts on Facebook depresses me and it chips away on my self-esteem.  For my own good, I am not going to be a frequent visitor on Facebook any longer.

A truer fortune never spoken

Last week I brought home Chinese food for Bruce and I, and went to McDonald's to get food for the boys.  We ate our food, and Justin asked if he could have a fortune cookie.  I told him sure, he picked one, opened it up and asked me to read him his fortune.  It said:

'You will be hungry in one hour'

I know that everyone jokes that when you eat Chinese that you are hungry again in an hour, but truer words have never been spoken.  That is the perfect fortune for one of my boys.
