I went to my first yoga class this morning. I really enjoyed it and plan to go back.
It is something to do on Tuesday mornings, since I don't feel like working out when I get home on Tuesday nights.
Tuesdays are my night to work, so I don't feel like doing much when I get home.

Facebook-free for 48 hours
Well, I fell off the wagon. I will make good use of the features and settings that are offered. We will see how that works.
Happy Halloween!
We carved pumpkins last night! I carved a witch/moon. Jon carved a ghost. He acidentally cut the wrong thing and ended up having to find another pumpkin. After going to 3 places, he found another pumpkin.
I roasted the seeds from the pumpkin, and they are so good!
Jon read Scary, Scary Halloween by Eve Bunting aloud. Then we watched some of the movie, Teen Wolf.
I am working today. I am wearing my tiger ears and my LSU hoodie. That's my "costume". I'm an LSU Tiger!
Jon and I had lunch at Rotollo's. It was so good!

Tuesday Morning Yoga
The BREC park on Jefferson Hwy. is offereing free yoga classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-10. I have thought about doing this for some time, but have been busy with other things.
Now that I have an established exercise routine and continue to make progress with organizing the apartment, I think I may be ready to give this a try.
I could only go on Tuesdays, because that is my late day at work. I usually like to sleep a little later on Tuesdays, but I think I am going to get myself in the habit of getting up to go.

More On My Sabbatical From Facebook
When I first joined Facebook, I really liked it. I thought it was a great way to network with others. Facebook has evolved greatly, since its beginnings.
Since people have trouble communication through email, phone, etc., I found they were more likely to do so through Facebook. This is not the case anymore.
In my experience, some people are using Facebook for other reasons other than to make it easy to be contacted. They use it to put themselves on display and show the world how they are so important and to observe other people without actively making an effort to communicate.
It bothers me that people do not make their presence known. You know they are checking you out on Facebook, but they are not making any effort to communicate. In conversation (which scarcely occur), they will say, "Oh yeah! I saw that on Facebook." Thus giving themselves away.
I have sent messages to inboxes and even in chat. It is always the same people that do not respond. It is a bit annoying.
Don't get me wrong, I love to hear about my friend's successes and happy times. I love the pictures and videos. It's just how it is "packaged." There are people that do put it out there, but they are also active in the "conversation." It's not just me, me, me! They are actually contributing.
It's just the people that I tend to expect more from that have really disappointed me. When you think a lot of someone, and then they act a certain way, I leaves you wondering. When it is someone you felt you had a close bond with, it can become hurtful.
I have had a very jaded view of things for quite sometime now. I have though about a Facebook-free life for awhile. I need to just step back and realize that not all people are self-centered and egotistical.

I'm taking a break from Facebook. I've gotten tired of it. I need some time away from it.
I've just had it with people in general. I need a break.
Jon and I would like to associate with people that are positive and not so stuck on themselves.
Facebook is not helping with my view of people, so I needed to deactivate.
I'll be back later...

Weekend in Review
Jon and I had a nice weekend.
Friday night, we went out for steak. We went to Logan's and I was very pleased with my food. It was nice to be able to take my time to get ready (hair and makeup) and then go out with my husband.
On Saturday, my friend Samantha had lunch and did a little shopping. Then I had the honor of showing going with her to see her new place of employment. She just got a youth services librarian postion at the Baker Branch! Yay!
Jon and I bought pumpkins on Saturday night. We did not get around to carving them. I think we will wait and carve them on Friday night. With our strange weather, the pumpkins tend to get moldy really fast.
Yesterday, I cleaned and organized my kitchen. It looks so nice and I feel so good about getting it clean.
I have accumlated a great deal of plastic containers, glass jars and bottles that I just can't bring myself to throw away. I know they have a potenital use. I do not have a garden, so I cannot use them to can. I learned that there is a recycling every 3rd Saturday for apartment dwellers, so I will bring them there. I know that Jon is also happy about this discovery.
My next cleaning and organizing project will be the bathroom. I am so tired of living in a mess! We are so unorganized. It is very discouraging to live in so much clutter. By taking it one step at a time, we will get this accomplished.
While cleaning, I finished listening to Home to Big Stone Gap. I assume this is the conclusion to the series, but I am not sure. I really loved the Big Stone Gap Series. I just loved the characters and reading about an area that is close to where Jon grew up.
I am going to attempt to start listening to the next One Book One Community (The Big Read) book, The Great Gatsby. I got really frustrated with it, while trying to download it to my computer. The tracks were not in order. A bit of a headache.
