Spring Cleaning

I am trying to spring clean my life. I see too much clutter and too many distractions. So, as a first step, I decided to take a hiatus from Facebook. I am addicted to Facebook like many people are these days. Very often, I find it extremely useful to send messages to friends and family, to organize an outing or a date with my friends etc. But I also found myself spending increasing amounts of time just browsing through the news feed. Since I already spend a lot of 'real' time with my friends, I decided to cut back on the virtual time with friends and acquaintances.

There are only 24 hours in everybody's lives and since I find myself rushing always to be on time, be it at work, be it something planned for Sunshine, be it personal appointments, I decided it is time I took a good hard look at my schedule and cut down on the unnecessary activities.

On a totally different note, I won a book giveaway on Marias Book Blog. It is 'The Last Doctor She Should Ever Date' by Louisa George. I just casually checked the blog to see if there are any new updates and suprise - I had won the giveaway. I have added her blog to my blogroll. She writes some amazing reviews about novels especially romance novels. I love reading especially romance novels and it is my secret (not any more) desire to write one on my own some day.

In the evening my very talented friend Vij is dropping by with her son who is the same age as Sunshine. Vij makes the most scrumptious the most detailed and perfect fondant cakes ever. She has taught herself how to do it and she does it better than even the bakers who appear on TV shows. It was her birthday last week and I couldn't meet her. But, I have a surprise gift for her today and I baked a batch of cupcakes yesterday. I am going to frost one of them today so that she can have a late birthday celebration.

I spent a lot of time with Ms Positive yesterday and she tried a lot to inspire me to chase my dreams and also create new dreams and goals in my life. She might drop in today when Vij is here, if she is free by then. Who needs Facebook when your life is full of such wonderful people.
