All those who have lost their minds...

(If you are looking for the $25 giveaway it's HERE!)

...raise your hands.

Midge has decided to act out my feelings today.

Really I couldn't have said it any better myself.

Except maybe I'd tell you what has caused me to lose my freaking mind.

Facebook.

There I said it.

I'm addicted to Facebook.

And, I have no idea why. Except that maybe, I am little nosy. Where nosy is defined as TELL ME EVERYTHING AND DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE OUT THE DETAILS. And I want to see what people have been up to, except really, I do not actually care about those people.

So, it's crazy.

I am wasting time that I do not have on people I do not really care about. (I am not talking about YOU. YOU are people I care about. So if YOU and I are "friends" on facebook well then YOU and I are friends because obviously I talk to you more than once every 15 years.)

Which of course is completely logical given the fact that work has started to get a touch overwhelming and I love avoidance. I may, in fact, be a professional procrastinator. Which is why facebook and I are suddenly BFF's who sleep together and everything.

It's sick.

But, I can't stop.

Okay, so I can stop but I am not.

Yeah, it's a choice.

Totally.

I can stop whenever I want.

I swear.

Stop hounding me.

I don't need to explain myself to YOU.

(Come over and find me! Now!)

Man, that's embarrassing to admit.

So I'm glad you did it for all of us.

With class.

Stopping by from SITS to say Hi!

Missy said...

Oh man that's tough. I would go find you on facebook, but I have enough addictions already. Twitter, eHell (eBay) and blogs. I am consumed by reading complete strangers blogs.

Hey, do I know you? Nope? Oh, sorry for the invasion.

Candy said...

I HATE (love) Facebook. I am completely addicted as well! Seriously, like you said on FB the other day, there should be a step program for that thing...Okay, time to go back and check to see if anyone has done anything kinda important that I won't care about.

Mom to 3 Monkeys said...

Ya I check it um every 22 seconds and after half an hour when I realize I am the only one I know who has done anything and no one is actually even online I figure I maybe should get the heck off before I look like I a. have no life or b. just want to avoid said life. Then i get off for about 20 minutes before feeling the need to go back and check again...you know just in case.

Momto3Monkeys...I just stay online but show up as 'offline'. Because I am sneaky like that. :)

Sotorrific Twins said...

When I had an office job (sitting in front of a computer screen all day) I wasn't on FB but everyone else was. I never could understand WHY they were all wasting their time on this site. They could barely do any work, they were so addicted. It wasn't until I left that job to work as teacher (no computer to sit in front of) that I joined, guilt free. But now, boy, I GET IT! I'm hooked. I'm a SAHM now with my twins so I just FB their naps away while no chores get done. I, too, need a program.

Rocksee said...

girl I admit it too!
I love Facebook!

Visiting from SITS!

Swirl Girl said...

Um, I Facebook...er, just for the games ?

TentCamper said...

I totally can't keep up with Facebook. I go on in spurts.

Though I am addicted to online poker!

Dawn@Embracing the Ordinary Life said...

LOL...I am the same way. A friend of mine told me to go on...it's so fun...I'm like, what fun??? But I'm on it all the time...I peek at peoples pictures, read their bios, check out their friend...I have to say though I have connected with some long lost friends, and I really enjoy that...especially since some of them live in places I would like to visit :)

NOW...they have UNO...ugh...I need to get help...

Susan said...

I'm on facebook in cognito only...just to spy. ;)

Suburban Turmoil said...

You're hardly alone- I have SO MANY girlfriends who are Facebook addicts. It's the new blog.

Noah's Mommy said...

Oh I'm with ya...but my addiction is geared more towards this...blogging and etsy....its a mad, mad world

Mama Kat said...

I hate that facebook makes you be friends with someone in order to read all the good stuff.

The Blonde Duck said...

Popped in from SITS to say hi!

Poor Midge:(

Be happy :)
Stopping by from SITS to say hello :)

Christy said...

*raises hand* me too - totally hopelessly addicted to FB!

Leaving some love from SITS!

Xazmin said...

My brother keeps trying to get me to do Facebook. But seriously, I already am wasting away years of my life blogging! Can you imagine how my poor family would suffer if I did FB too?

Tangerine Kitty said...

Facebook is pretty cool!
Great blog by the way....

angie said...

I LOVE how you presented your addiction to Facebook! :)

Crazy Momma said...

Why am I FB "stalking" my HS boyfriend that is now gay and married to his husband? Because FB allows me to do just that...

Sick. We are all sick!
