Day three....Facebook Project
Today is day three and the sabbath. I did have to look up one thing on Facebook. I responded to a couple posts. I was ON and OFF in less than 5 minutes. I have some fun projects to work on tonight and I might catch an episode of Psych. I am not out of the woods with being tempted...but I am not feeling the drive to check it daily like I did on day one and day two....RELIEF!!!

Day Two...The Facebook Project
Here we go:
12/17/2011 One X for every time I 'thought' about going on facebook...
X X X X X (Honestly...I probably thought about facebook several more times today, but I only used it once...see below)
The second time today that I thought about facebook, I actually thought...I really am not missing anything.
*It seems that when ever I get near the computer I feel the urge to check facebook. Interesting. Almost like a drug. And I set down to check my email and automatically typed 'fa...and facebook came up and hit enter before I even realized what I had typed...WOW...Crazy stuff!
An X for every time I DID use facebook and an explanation why:
X used facebook once today to look up someone for babysitting tonight. It was helpful and convenient without being a taxing life sucker! I think I am making progress.
Was woken up early. I was awakened by my 6 year old at 7:30am saying, MOM WE'RE READY, IT'S TIME!!!
This morning was the Breakfast for Santa party that our Primary/Sunday School puts on. Great time was had by all. One of the children's Aunties is in town too. Good times!
Later today I got things done, Christmas cards, plates to hand out, etc. The kids went with their dad and Auntie to run errands and then on a fun "work" tour with dad. They all came home happy and chattering. It was good!
We had a really nice adults only dinner tonight with Auntie. Just what the doctor ordered for mommy who does not get to speak with adults nearly enough!

The Facebook Project...
12/ 16/ 2011
Today is the beginning of my log.
I LOVE facebook. I have always been a social person. Having those I love at my finger tips...It's a win-win right? What could go wrong? What could be bad about facebook?
First I learned that facebook games are ADDICTING... No worries with a little help from my hubby I stopped them. So facebook is still wonderful right?
Then I started feeling a little depressed and isolated. How can that be? I have over "300" friends. And yet I felt so disconnected. WHY? WHY...did I feel so disconnected? I am learning about this.
I am not going on a facebook fast, purge, or detox.
So what have I decided to do? I have decided to use facebook for JUST exactly what I intended in the first place. I will use it as a way to keep in touch. I will use it on a personal level. I will 'comment' less and 'inbox' more. I will NOT check my facebook 20 times a day.
So for the first part of PROJECT FACEBOOK I will record how many times a day I think about or am tempted to use facebook. I will also record how many times I actually use it and what I do on facebook:

An X for every time I DID use facebook and an explanation why
X...I got on facebook one time today. I checked inbox messages. Yesterday I wrote a friend that lives in Australia. She had surgery this year. I had a thought to write to her yesterday. She had been on my mind so I sent her an inbox. I know that she was glad. I am grateful that I followed that prompting. I was on facebook about 5 minutes. Then I got off facebook. We tucked the children in bed and my husband and I made cookies together. It was fun! TODAY...I lived and used facebook as a tool instead of letting it rule my life! Yeah me!
