There have been so many comments made by friends about them feeling left out or offended (hopefully not by me) at something said. I too have had those feelings. I just want to be invited to everything and I think I'm every one's best friend. I know that's not the case, but I'd rather feel like everyone loves me and be blind to the fact that they don't then that I'm not welcome. That came out more negative than I feel. Please know that I have wonderful friends. I just know I can't be apart of everything all the time.
The reality for me is that FB wasn't bringing happiness. It was great to connect with old friends and see what everyone was up to and to stay current on all friends, but I really don't need to spend my time on that anymore.
The things I miss most are all the emails, they really make you feel like you're needed. I also miss the easiness of communication. We had a beautiful Christmas Sacrament Meeting and after I thought, "I'll go post on J's wall to tell her what a fabulous job she did" and then I realized, I can't. I'll have to call and tell her how fabulous she is. The last thing I miss is playing BeJeweled. It was a great time waster while I uploaded pictures and blogged.
So, good bye my FB world. I'm ready to find my old, better self and live blindly that the world and everyone in it is my BFF.

Yay for you!
Bejeweled is on the iTouch...
I applaud You!!
We'll miss you. At least I can keep up with you on you blog. Great seeing you the other night! :)
I'm joining you!
I told you I tried right? Then I went to my friends wedding and everyone was all bugged that I "unfriended" them. I worried that it caused more drama than necessary and came to the conclusion that I am a big girl who can manage my time on it better. Honestly though... it's really tempting to follow your example. (Talk me into it.) ;)
I was just about to go to Facebook to tell you that I think you're great and I'm so lucky to have you as a friend. I count you among the best!
(is it as sad as i think it is that i went to the blog rather than next door? technology is making me lazy!) love ya!
Know how you feel... I get it. Good for you for doing hard things. And here's to extra time for what you want to do!
I was wondering where the heck you went. I typed in your name and almost cried when it didn't come up. I was sure you just deleted me. I'm so glad I saw this. I have been feeling the same about facebook. It hasn't done much for me lately so I'm hardly ever on. That's probably why it's taken me this long to realize we're no longer friends (facebook friends that is). I hope you are well, and I miss you on facebook (when I'm on) and in real life. I hardly see you at church anymore either. When it warms up, maybe I'll get brave enough to attempt to run with you again. Good job on running 1000 miles. You're pretty amazing! :) Love ya!
I was just wondering about you today! I thought, "hmmm...I haven't seen an update from Emily in awhile..
And then I couldn't find you. I thought I had been unfriend-ed....sniff....but then I found your hubby and you weren't "friends" with him...and so then I saw your blog...and then did some MAJOR stalking (which only means I love you!) and here I find out you are doing well and NO LONGER on FB! Good for you. I wish I could be so strong. I'm completely addicted!
I'm glad to see you are doing well and your family is just as cute as EVER!!!
Can you get the girls together to play sometime? It would be good to catch up with you! I'm adding your blog to my list and I'd love to send you an invite to my blog. Email me. cjluvsj at msn.com
