Facebook can be such a buzz kill. There are days when I click on, feeling buoyant about myself, until I see photos of a friend’s family vacation to Barcelona, or read about a college roommate’s novel making the Times best seller list or scan a newlywed’s declaration of love after her destination wedding. In a flash, my otherwise spirited life seems dull and lonely. During fragile times, I know to avoid Facebook altogether. But then, it came to me. I could play at this too. Last week, there were endless pics from parents of their kids grinning on the first day of class. So I grabbed a notebook and pen, placing it strategically in front of my dog, and captured her adorable faux back-to-school photo for all my FB friends to enjoy.
