Sittin on my tiny back patio in the 82 degree November weather, I was talking to my dad on the phone.
"I have to go run by I really don't want to."
"Just think of the awesome feeling you get when you're done," he said.
"The one where I want to puke my guts up?" I said sarcastically.
"Yes, that one."
He couldn't be more right.
WHERE ARE YOU???!!! You've abandoned us on Facebook! (I like your little post, but that's not why I'm writing!)
ReplyDeleteYeah, where are you? I like your little post, too. (Jamie, looks like I'm following you around!)
ReplyDeleteI deleted it!!! Facebook was driving me crazy beacuse I waste so much time on it and there were more irksome people on it than good. But I can awlays keep in touch through moms :)
ReplyDeleteI heard the "breaking news" from Sarah. ha! Did you know she wrote a little "article" about her interview with you? Since you can't get on, here it is:
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NEWS: FACEBOOK A NEGATIVE NOTION. Monroe, LA (via Loveland, CO): According to Collette Keith, a student at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, Facebook was a time-waster and a place for some frustrating people to intrude into personal life. "Y'all [family] were the only positive from the whole thing, so I chucked it. Figure we have email and I can get on Mom's, too." Perhaps, whether we delete our Facebook accounts or not, we could all take a leaf from Ms. Keith's book.
Could you get on and just have family as your friends and block your visibility somehow? Like, is there a way to be incognito? Probably not. :( I miss you there. BUT I ADMIRE YOU!
You're one of my heroes. :D
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AT THANKSGIVING!!!!
AJ
Hi Collette!!
ReplyDeleteI was just scrolling through your posts, and found this one. Are you still off Facebook? I was intrigued because I have limited myself to about 20 friends, and they are mostly family. This works for me because I got sick of all of the inane writings of people I barely knew. I get a lot of friend invites, but rarely accept, or I initially accept to touch base with an old friend, then delete him/her later when we've said all we had to say. :)
