Overwhelmed!

I've been back from Italy for a week now and I am feeling overwhelmed when I think about blogging. So I just haven't! Ya know, traveling, however fun, is not relaxing in the least and after returning home last week, I felt like I needed a vacation from my vacation. There were and still are so many things that I need to get done and I have been too tired to do them. This past week I have been such a procrastinator which is so unlike me. When I think about the things I have to do whether it be go through the 1500 pictures that I took on my trip, catch up with friends and family now that I am home, blogging, school work, my book club book I have this overwhelming feeling of stress. I usually strive on stress, but lately it has just made me want to go to bed. I'm sure that it has more to do with being tired and jet lagged after a long trip, but not getting the things done is stressing me out even more and I don't like that feeling. I know it will all get done eventually, but right now I'm having a hard time getting anything done and that includes blogging. So please pardon my inattentiveness lately. I have so many pictures and things about the trip I want to share, but I'm afraid it will just have to wait a little longer.

Hmm, Facebook?

So, I was on the phone with my friend Jill (who used to live just a couple of miles away, but moved to Rochester, NY a few years ago, yes still bitter, but that's another post)this afternoon. She has been hounding me to sign up for Facebook for the last couple of months. A couple of other long distance friends have told me to do the same, but I just haven't been into it. During our call she reminded me again. "OK, OK, I'm doing it right now," I told her as I found the website and signed up. She's thrilled, as I've had three messages from her since I signed up about 3 hours ago.

However, I am still skeptical. I've received emails from people who I didn't even know were on it and that's stressing me out a little - how did they know?. There are tons of people from high school who I've lost touch with over the years who are on it and that's stressing me out too. Why is that? Do any of my 5 faithful readers do Facebook? Why do you do it? Does it stress you out too?
