Those who know me and read the title of this blog are saying, “WHAT!\u00a0 YOU!\u00a0 Setting Limits!”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ha!\u00a0 Just when everyone thought I had absolutely NO boundaries, I’m drawing one. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I refuse to Twitter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve actually managed to hit my limit on my need for attention.\u00a0 (Yes, my friends, you can pick up your jaw or stop laughing in derision.) But its solely based on a time issue and perhaps a little personal fulfillment on the adoration need I tend to crave. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cuz, let’s look at what I’m managed to sucker myself into updating daily.\u00a0 Well, this blog, of course.\u00a0 When I first started it, I posted every day, because I had sooooo much to say and no one to say it to!\u00a0 Now its down to Monday, Wednesday & Friday, THANK GOD! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Then I began to date (almost a year ago!\u00a0 Wow!) and chatting on Messenger had a “what are you doing section” that I would change every day, not so much now, since when I get on Messenger I end up chatting with sometimes up to 4 people at the same time!\u00a0 (Lucky for me I type 120 wpm!)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dating alone fulfilled a lot of my needs for attention, because I was just so damn successful at it!\u00a0 hahahaha.\u00a0 (But really, its because I’m an honest, caring, unique, insightful sex-goddess and lets face it.. we are rare!)
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then I was strong-armed onto Facebook and had to come up with short versions of my extensive wit, which is very, very hard to do!\u00a0 I’m naturally long winded!\u00a0 PLUS I love leaving fun little comments on other people’s posts.\u00a0 Or better yet, annoying or amusing comments on their game notifications!\u00a0 That one’s really, really fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then updating the work Facebook page became my job.\u00a0 Oh fun.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So every day I check my blog, 2 personal emails, 5 emails for work and 2 FB pages.\u00a0 I refuse, absolutely draw the line, at Tweeting.\u00a0 I will NOT get sucked into one more Work Avoidance Social Media device.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It cuts way too much into my t.v. time.<\/strong><\/p>\n
