It’s Twitter Ho-Down Time!
(Also known as Post-that-requires-no-thinking-since-my-brain-is-swollen-shut Time!)
If you’re not on the Twitter, you’ve missed some of my cleverest stuff – if I do say so myself. We wouldn’t want that, so without further ado,
My week in 140-character bursts:
(As usual, reading from the bottom up makes a LITTLE more sense.)

Today’s post started out as an American Idol recap, since I’ve never done one before and it sounded fun.
(And because, gee, NOBODY else is posting about Idol online…)
So I started writing my observations about the performers last night in the order in which they sang.
Matt: Swoon-worthy singing.
Paul: Great performance. Wife who looks about age 13. [...]

Why, hello. Just checking in.
What have I been up to? Oh, nothing much… Just a bit of laundry.
Five or ten or 75 loads, give or take a few. I’ve spent my last few days on a suds-powered hamster wheel: gather, sort, wash, dry, fold, hang, put away, gather, sort, etc.
Sort of a “lather, rinse, repeat” [...]

You might have noticed that I haven’t been around much in the past few days.
Didn’t notice? Well, it’s a good thing I don’t get some sick self-esteem boost from having your approval, or I’d be REALLY bummed.
{sniff}
Anyway, I have been a little AWOL. I’ve had to skip personal responses to my blog comment section. I [...]

Dear Google Maps,
z 578 7m777qzzCd!
Erm, excuse the interruption. That was my 14-month-old nephew’s contribution to this letter.
Although if I wanted to express in code the words I was shouting muttering in my truck last night as I got thoroughly lost in downtown Atlanta, “z 578 7m777qzzCd” is as good a translation as any.
Google Maps, I [...]

I did warn you.
This post  is what you get when I stay up till midnight surfing the blogosphere.
Thursday night, my friend Katdish of Hey Look a Chicken fame linked to a blog I’d never visited before, Chronicles of Marnia. (Hi Marni!)
So when I visited Katdish around 11:30, I clicked over to Marni…
(Still tracking with me?)
…And [...]

Mmmmmm, coffee.
If you brew coffee at home, who sets up the coffee pot?
In our house, that person is me.
It makes sense: I get up first. And I’m the morning person, so I’m the most alert when making it. And it’s a great (and pretty painless) way for me to practice selflessness first thing in the [...]

Wow, on Saturday I had an unplanned “blog fast.”
It happened when my sister and brother-in-law’s work shifts overlapped a little, and I agreed to watch my nephews for a few hours in the afternoon.
I love my nephews, and my kids love their cousins. We always have a great time getting both families together for Sunday [...]
