I joined FB last summer. At the time it was where details regarding my upcoming highschool reunion were being posted so I opted in. Now, 9 months later, I’m still struggling to embrace it. It seems like endless self promotion. Day in and day out, the same people post. OCCASSIONALLY someone I really care about makes a comment. The truth is, if I really wanted to be in touch with you, wouldn’t we be talking face-to-face, or at least voice-to-voice?

Having had a stint in sales, I’m all too familiar with the rush that follows once a customer commits. It’s intoxicating.
When I started blogging, I didn’t even know WordPress collected such details on views, as the dashboard completely overwhelmed me. So adieu nachos, mint chocolate chip ice cream, wine, margaritas…when I need a fix, I’m reaching for my stats.
