Are you ready? Here are the last dozen or so tweets I’ve Twittered in the past 48 hours listed from newest to oldest.

Why am I doing this? Because there are a lot of people who aren’t interested in doing the whole Twitter thing but might find what I’ve been documenting to be interesting.

At least, that’s what I tell myself. 😉

It’s also a fabulous excuse to post something when I obviously have nothing else to share … at this time. But come on, ya’ll know me, I’ll be back up and chatting your, er, eyes off in no time, so no worries!

It’s her honesty I admire the most. RT @VelveteenMind If only we could all be so honest: http://bit.ly/q3bka @temptingmama gets real. Again.

I know we only have 140 characters, but UGH, the abbreviated “chat room” talk drives me batty. Proper Engrish, please. (yes, on purpose).

Dems say something off color, it’s comedy. When Reps say something off color, it’s cold. Either way, it’s insensitive. http://bit.ly/n0U49

Okay, so I’m sipping my Redbull …

If you read my tweets, that would make sense to you.

Maybe.

And the invoice crack? Yeah, sending out invoices is on my top ten things I don’t like to do. Why? Because for precisely the reason I stated: I feel guilty.

Actually, I’m sipping Redbull because I need the mental stimulation to brave the crazies at Wal-Mart later, take GD out for another driving lesson and because I need to work out extra hard tonight because I inhaled four Krispy Kreme donuts in about four minutes this morning.

And yeah, that was one of my tweets.

I don’t know, I GET like that once in a while. I get such a sugar craving it becomes, well, physical. It’s so weird.

I’M so weird.

Well, that one is pretty self-explanatory. I’ve been doing that a lot lately. And yeah, I don’t mind sharing SOME things with my husband (ahem), but not the mouth germs. Ew.

And did you see this one??

Goodwill is now online. How cool is that!! Hey, don’t knock Goodwill. If you’re patient, you can find some pretty good stuff there.

And this post over at MotherScribe?

Yeah, I couldn’t agree more. Society is over-sexing our children. It’s disgusting.

And this last one?

*SIGH* Nothing irritates me more than to get excited about finding a new blog voice to follow only to put them in my RSS reader and they’ve got their feed set to summary, as opposed to a full read.

Who has time to click over? People, if you want to be read, then allow full reads for your RSS readers! Grr.

Oh, and my brother-in-law, (Hi brother Don!), used my contact form to, well, contact me the other day thereby proving that my family, my extended family, has found my blog.

In fact, another friend, (Hi Donna!), mentioned in her email, that she reads my blog. And I know one of my sisters-in-law read my blog (Hi Angie!) and my mother has been reading for quite some time (Mom, I love you, but seriously, go away, but I love you!) so I’m now officially sort of freaked out because it’s one thing to hit publish and think “Oh a bunch of faceless people, who I don’t know and will likely never meet, read my blog”. But a whole OTHER ballgame when people I actually know read my blog and I’m left frantically searching my archives and hoping I didn’t put my foot into my mouth … again.”

It’s been a traumatic discovery, I tell ya! But don’t worry, I’ll get over it. So, real-life people who I see on a semi-regular basis? Don’t take it personally if I don’t look you in the face or have nothing new to say because I’ve already said it here.

My mom tells me that all the time.

“Hey mom, did I tell you about …”

“No. But I read it on your blog.”

Seriously, I have no comeback for that. 🙂

Okay, I’m Twittered out. Tweet ya later. *GRIN*

Follow me, it’s fun! And that’s where I spend the majority of my days because I’m addicted. It’s sad.

We’re on the hunt for a Fedora. M, my nephew, showed up Christmas day wearing one and ever since then, it’s all the boys can talk about.

We checked out a few stores today, but no go. So, they may end up ordering one online. Personally? I’m thrilled. The fact that they are ready to step out of their comfort zone pleases me.

Let’s just not go overboard. Some of the things on this site are pretty wacked out. But I’m old, remember?

This watch is pretty smokin‘, though. I wouldn’t mind having that.

And what is up with this outfit? I remember wearing something similar in high school.

I wonder if I could carry that style off now? (just kidding – or am I?)

I wish I could stop crying.

It’s not the boo-hoo type of crying.

It’s not the I’m-so-happy-I-can’t-help-but-cry sort of crying, either.

My eyes constantly water. Well, not constantly, but they do water for days at a time. I think it’s the cold weather. Perhaps it’s the wind. Whatever it is, I wish it would stop because wow, I’m so sick of reaching up and dabbing at the corners of my eyes to soak up the moisture.

It’s annoying and people look at me strange.

It’s not my makeup. My makeup hasn’t changed for years. And like I said, it only happens occasionally.

It’s happening today, right this very minute.

I have to wear water-proof mascara or it’ll smear and I end up giving little kids nightmares. When I turn my head a certain way, the light captures the moisture and people ask me if I’m crying.

“No. My eyes are watering,” I reply.

They look at me like they don’t believe me.

I don’t cry. I hate crying.

“It’s a waste of energy,” I say.

But my eyes, they won’t stop watering.

Perhaps I’m crying and don’t know it?

It seems to get worse the older I get.

If this keeps up, I’ll be dehydrated before I’m 45.
