Stop it, Facebook!

Hi, my name is Katie and I'm a Facebook addict.


It's true - I'm hopelessly addicted to worldwide phenom that was created by a guy around my age. I remember when it was strictly a college network. It has changed so much since then, it's unbelievable! Seems like every time I log, something is new.


The newest feature that I've noticed is one I am NOT a fan. When I'm browsing through photos, pictures appear on the side. And nine times out of ten...they're pictures of Jacob. It wouldn't bother me so much if other pictures of other friends appeared...but nooooooo.... It's a "recommended photo" for me to view. I don't WANT to! I've looked at those pictures a million times and I don't appreciate Facebook plastering them on the side of my home page and photo album page. Rather than invoking certain "warm fuzzies"...it's just a painful reminder that Jacob is no longer here and I won't get to hear his deep laughter and voice ever again.


So Facebook...please stop with the recommended photos. I. Don't. Like. It.


In other news...it's getting cooler! Hooray! Autumn is my favorite season. Hats, scarves, gloves, coats...fall colors...changing leaves...crisp air...seeing my breath in the early morning...big blankets and coffee. There's something very calming about fall. I've started walking along the Chattahoochee river every evening and it's sort of become an addiction. It's very soothing to walk at my own pace, with my iPod (usually playing Glee) and let the fresh air fill my lungs. In my most recent walk, my Glee playlist played a Madonna song that I might adopt as my theme song right now. One line is most definitely my motto right now:


"You deserve the best in life; so if the time isn't right then move on. Second best is never enough; you'll do much better baby on your own" 


I'm doing just fine on my own, thanks.
