Day one on the planet with no Facebook...

I was tempted, bloggers.  I was well and truly tempted for about ten minutes to reactivate my FB.

But then I got up and I cleaned the living room and it was all good and in between cleaning I managed to sort out my jewelry supplies as well as make soup.

As a matter of fact, I'm sitting here eating said soup and it is sooooo goood! I love it when experimenting goes well.  Wanna see?

Okay...

I usually make either beef stew or chicken soup but lately I've been mixing the two and making this beef/chicken soup that is banging if I do it right.  Well tonight I added Shrimp!  Yes I cut up pieces of jumbo shrimp and O.M.G!  It's awesome.  The girls are in the dining room eating it with thick pieces of Homemade honey Wheat bread...

The best part of cooking is watching other people eat it with that look on their face.  After I cut the bread, Liv looked up at me and said "okay thanks!  You can go now"  WITH a glob halfway to her mouth.  I could have been offended you know the whole dismissing me from the room thing, but she said it with a laugh and as a parent you have to pick and choose your battles.  This wasn't even a fight.

So tonight is the game between the Panthers and the Patriots.  Supposedly both teams are 5-0 and only one can win tonight.  Tickets for the Panthers now start at $100 and go up past $2,000 for seats thanks to them winning so much.  It's kinda an unheard of thing.  They just don't do that.  Like ever.  They suck.  Well, I guess I can't say that at the moment.  They're on a winning streak.

Okay, I need to get up and do something before the itis sets in.  Cause oh man!  I'm full!  I love soup.  I want to make cupcakes.  I feel a baking binge coming on a few days early.  I have to bake most of Friday so I wasn't looking forward to baking  until Friday but man I want some cupcakes...

Okay, I'm going to do something.  Dunno what but I have to get up...

Deactivation

So late last night I deactivated my Facebook..  Whether this was a cry for help or me finally getting fed up, I don't know but I do know that as long as my will not to be connected at the hip and mouth to the social network holds out, I will leave as such.

I did regret some friends that I lost when my oh so freaking smart phone clued in that I no longer had an active account and deleted people from the contacts list but I logged on and reactivated this morning long enough to stare a few pictures and send those people a message.

A very small part of me wants to see how long it will take some people to notice I've left.  I'm a serial poster so if they've ever read any of my stuff then they may or may not notice right off the back.  It may take a few days as I do tend to take breaks every now and then, just not to this degree.  I have always been able to be reached by Facebook message.  Now I don't even have that link anymore and you know something?  Right now, I feel a little freer than I did yesterday.

I got up this morning and started a soup.  In a few moments I plan to go clean up my living room then my kitchen and then my dining room and I may start a few new jewelry pieces.  In the next couple of weeks I plan to re arrange my bedroom.  I have to find some screens for my windows.  Winter is coming and I think I would like to have my windows up at night to catch the breeze so that I don't have to have my AC running all day and all night.  The girls got screens as did the dining room.  Granted I pulled them off the vacant house next door and someone moved in before I could swipe the front screens for my bedroom so I have to go scavenging.  I shall prevail however.  The people at the top of the cul de sac are moving out and part of me wants to go over and hijack their screen door.  Just unscrew the screws and run into the night but I think it'll look suspicious if the realty company they are going with comes to the circle and their's holes in their door frame and the screen door they THOUGHT was on that house looks exactly like the one on my door.  So hmmm... nah, I think I'm going to let that house be....

So yeah, time for me to get up and get cracking.  The day is half gone and I have alot to do.  That soup is smelling really tasty.  I kinda wish Blogger had a smell option.  Today is the usual beef and chicken but I'm also going to throw a few jumbo shrimp in there and some veggies.  This is going to be good.  I think I may also make a fresh loaf of bread or two.

Time to get crackin!

Ciao!
