Facebook: The Addiction

If you are reading this and you do not have a Facebook account then you,my friend, are behind in the times. I’ve had a MySpace account for a couple of years now and while I do love some of the features it offers such as being able to customize your page background it’s Facebook that has become my new addiction. On MySpace I have about 30 or so friends. Some are from college, some from high school and a few that I’ve met along the way. But on Facebook I have well over 100 friends from high school, college, jobs I’ve had over the years as well as my current job AND current students at my job. It has a lot of fun applications like bumper stickers and flair but it truly is one of the most addicting things I’ve been a part of in a long time. You will find yourself checking in on FB all throughout your day to see what your friends are doing. I’m telling you, A-D-D-I-C-T-I-V-E!!! So if you don’t have a FB account, give it a whirl, it’s really fun.

So since I posted last I’ve met my friend Janet face-to-face. Janet and I met on an infertility website 10 years ago. We’ve become very close friends over the years and prior to our meeting we’ve talked on the phone a lot, we’ve emailed and most importantly, we’ve used instant messenger every single day for close to the entire 10 years. She flew into Memphis last Friday where we finally got to see each other. We spent two nights in Tunica at the casino (where I won $800!!) and we spent a night at my house. Being with her was like being with a friend I’d known my entire life. It was as if we’d known each other forever. It was wonderful to finally meet her and even more wonderful to be able to spend time with her. She’s a good egg! (Hi Janet!!!)

My husband is also convinced I’m having an affair. He’s starting therapy this week with my therapist and then we’ll meet together the week after. I love him, clearly, or I wouldn’t stay. But he’s incredibly controlling and incredibly jealous and people, it’s getting old. Very VERY old. I try to understand that he apparently has some insecurities that are unrelated to me. But the constant fussing, fighting, inquisitions etc are really beginning to get to me. We’ll continue to work together to try and fix our marriage because I believe he loves me and I do love him. But we need prayers. I need prayers. We want our marriage to work. We want it to wok not just for ourselves but for our son. Together I think we can get over whatever problems we have.

Nothing exciting going on here so not much to “blog” about. But next week I have several good student stories to tell you. I love their overwhelming sense of entitlement. They are so entertaining!

Now go sign up for Facebook RIGHT NOW!

Peace!
