One Weekend without Social Media: Gasp!

Breaking News – I made it through the weekend without social media!! It was tempting to scroll through facebook or pop on over to pinterest before bed each night, but to my surprise, I avoided all sources of societal buzz.  Through 5PM Friday to 8AM Monday, this included:

-Not feeding news through Facebook

-Not pinning on Pinterest

-Not instantly adding photos to Instagram

-Not teetering away on Twitter

-Not reading any emails

-Not posting or reading others’ blog posts

I’m still shocked!!  And, I got a lot done if you include sleeping and watching basketball a lot.  When I wasn’t enjoying extra ZZZ’s and NCAA’s, I did the following:

1.  Went out to dinner with the man.  He’s the best!  His drink looks kinda girly, but it didn’t taste that way.  Orange juice and gin, ew.  And, yes, the orange peel did get stuck to his lips/face at one point.  Hot.

2. Instead of ordering dessert, I suggested another drink and some March Madness at the restaurant’s bar downstairs.  This led to a couple of drinks and a crazy Georgetown / Florida Gulf Coast University (who?) battle.  As you can tell, a lot of people were interested in the madness.  The main squeeze and I had a lot of fun together; we’ve dated for almost a year, but the lightheartedness makes it feel like it’s only been a month or two.  🙂

3. We woke up early due to my dog’s inability to take herself outside to go to the bathroom.  I’m not sure why she can’t just walk around the block by herself… and the 7AM internal alarm clock on a Saturday.. really, dog?  Anyways… I made some breakfast to start the day off right.  Yum.

4. Due to the 7AM wake-up time (see above), dog needed a nap around 11.  Excuuusee me.  Luckily, I took Ms. Lazy to the dog park later that day for some frolicking and bootay sniffing.

5. After the dog park,  I headed over to Old Navy to purchase some new sunglasses since I broke mine last weekend.  If you look hard enough (not even that hard), you’ll notice that the sticker is still on them in this picture.  I just realized that about a day ago.. when the sticker fell off.  No worries, playing it real cool over here.

6. Then, I went and got my toes did!  Thank god.  I went for a bubble gum color and I they delivered!  I also got dinner with my friend, Kelly, later in the evening but I forgot to take a pic.

7.  Sunday morning brought more sleep.  No, my dog didn’t magically find a way to walk herself.  We still awoke at 7AM (*curse*) but I fell back asleep and woke up again at 10, which is actually super late for me.  I found Clueless on TV; the part where she’s looking at Josh’s cassette tape in the car cracked me up.  I’m sure 20% of the people who read this blog post don’t even know what a cassette tape is.

8.  At this point, I’ve completely forgotten about social media, but I’m also super bored.  So, I started reading my copy of Elements of Style which main squeeze got me for Valentine’s Day.  Hmm.. although useful, this was also not really exciting.

Then I made dinner and watched 60 minutes.  Yawn.

I’m the *funnest* 26 year-old ya ever met.  End of story.  😉

*What did you do this weekend?  *Do you enjoy disconnecting from social media?
