The SMART Act, Facebook, and My Waist

“If you trust in yourself… and believe in your dreams… and follow your star… you’ll still get beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren't so lazy.” ~ Terry Pratchett (there is a slight chance that I might’ve overused this quote, but… I don’t care)

Now, three not-so-random bits of wild living…

1. SMART Act: I’ve been reducing my social media usage—in order to write more (books keep refusing to publish themselves. The horror!). When I told a friend about this, she said, “SMART got to you, huh?” When I gave her my blankest look, she told me of The Social Media Addiction Reduction Technology (SMART) Act.

2. Adios Facebook Profile: I was going to say goodbye to Facebook, but there are still a handful of you with who I can only connect through the book of faces. So, I will change my profile into a page instead. Doing this will convert (according to Facebook) my profile Friends and Followers into page Likes. I need to keep a personal account, in order to manage the page, but… I will only friend my Mother in Law, The Boy, and my Piano Man… Anything else facebookish, I shall do through the page (which means that I will only be able to comment on public posts). My Instagram account shall remain as is.

3. An Inch at a Time: I’ve lost a bit over an inch of my waist in the last 3 months. I’m quite pleased with myself… and can’t wait until my latest surgical site heals, so that I can start trampolining and hiking and calisthenic(ing) my chunkaliciousness away.

What about you, my Wicked Luvs? What have you been up to?
