I got sucked into twitter months ago. It’s quite fun actually. They call it “mini blogging”. Blogging for the ADD. A lot of people don’t like it because it’s just a little too much inside information. No one wants to know that you’re stuck in traffic and have to pee…that kind of thing. And even though you might not care to read about what I’m doing every second of the day…I’m going to wrap up some of my favorite tweets and tell you anyway:
HalftimeLessons: I just helped my wife zip up the “wish dress”. As in…I wish this dress would still zip up. If you need me, I’m in divorce court.
Me: I just helped my husband put on his “someday underwear”. As in..someday I’ll get it up again. We’ll be behind you in court.
HalftimeLessons: LOL I think it’s funny that YOU think that it’s not going up without you.Word to the wise, it goes up ANYWAY. Get Involved.
Me: Oh yeah! FYI that dress comes off pretty quick on “milk delivery” days. Meet your milkman:
Can someone please hand Kainoa a pair of big girl panties and ask him to stop acting like a baby??
My alarm went off this morning and I threw my hand over Laina’s mouth. :)
Pat thinks I should try my hand at fiction writing…his suggestion for my first novel?? “Daria Meets God”…ummm…what the eff??
I’m twittering instead of cooking…it’s not nearly as messy. Wonder what the family plans on eating tonight…
I just asked them…Maile plans on eating a quesadilla hot dog, Laina plans on eating pizza, & Kainoa plans on eating Julia. Awesome.
I bought a pack of 12 glow sticks in the $ section at Target &gave each of the kids 2 with intentions of saving 6 for another night…
And then I sat on those remaining in the pack…and pulled the glowing sticks from under my ass… #fail
Now it’s your turn!
Choose a prompt, post it on your blog, and come back and sign Mr. Linky. Be sure to sign up with the actual post URL and not just your basic blog URL (click on the title of your post for that URL). For good comment karma try to comment on the three blogs above your name!!
The Prompts:
1.) Share one piece of great advice you’ve received from someone who knows stuff…
2.) Write a series of tweets that ultimately end with a line that I actually tweeted on Friday night: “And then I sat on those remaining in the pack…and pulled the glowing sticks from under my ass.”
3.) Gregory MaGuire (author of books like Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister) is wildly popular right now (as is the musical Wicked). Write your own “re telling” of a classic fairy tale.
4.) Luck, or divine intervention?
5.) Muffin Tin Monday…on Thursday? Every week Michelle hosts a carnival where you’re invited to link a meal you serve your kids in muffin tins. It’s kind of cute actually.
If you’re playing along don’t forget to add a workshop button to your page:

LMAO LOVE the Milk Man…that’s hilarious!!
Still can’t get into tweeting….maybe if I got a phone I could actually tweet from?? Then everyone and their mom could know what I am up to, cuz I’m just that popular right? Yeah well…I tried!
How does Julia feel about being eaten? Might disturb me a little to be on the menu.
I tweet once a month whether need it or not. {*grin*}
I think i remember those tweets between you & Jay! LOL
ok, and a BIG OPPS! I think I got the prompt from the wrong week. Maybe i just made it up??? I’m insane? I have no clue, but it’s not on your list and yet, I thought it was. I think I’m gonna go with, I am losing my mind.
I’m loving the milkman tweet. Serves him right. :)
Just wondering, if I do a post on a prompt from a previous writer’s workshop can I link it to the current one or do I have to link it to the previous post where others of that same topic are?
I love Twitter. Especially when you’re on. And, is it strange that I am Goggling Beautiful.eu in another tab as we speak?
I have a Twitter account, but I hardly every use it … which is obviously not the point of Twitter.
I have a twitter account too…I need to learn how to use it! Love, love your “tweets.” That’s what they’re called, right????
Kat, you can one-line it like no one I have met before!! Hilarious! It almost makes me want to head on back to twitter. NOT! lol
I almost never use Twitter…but I see where compiling tweets could end up as a book.
I attempted your Twitter prompt – that last line was such a challenge, I couldn’t resist.
How much time elapsed between his comment about “it” going up, and your response about the milkman?
Great idea! Love the tweets! I just couldn’t resist prompt #4, this week. Thanks as always, for the great prompts!
Whenever I read the tweets you put on here I think twitter would be entertaining, but I am resisting getting sucked into one more thing that will distract me. I tend to use my facebook status bar sort of like twitter–when I remember to update regularly. And since I mostly do that on my phone I don’t have to see all the mafia wars and crap that people clutter up my wall with.
Finally the linky shows up i my reader grrr stupid blogger and it taking it’s sweet time.. sighs oh well I am all up and linked and your kids are too adorable and love this post too funny… Now if I could hubby to say I would be his dinner and possibly his dessert in oh say thenext century I would be thrilled lol
I loved the post, as always!
Unless I’m a total moron (which is entirely possible), I think maybe you need the closing code on your button. When I inserted it on my blog it turned all the text after it into a link until I added the after it. Maybe it’s just my blog for some reason, though?
The code got deleted out of my comment it should say until I added the after it (but without the spaces).
Deleted it again. Ok, never mind. :) Trying to help, but apparently I’m not supposed to.
oooooooo, that milkman does the body good!! Love your tweets!
I soo want to write about something, but I’m just soo uninspired by this weeks topics. I think they are great, but my mind is being a bit slow. Ugh.
I have two twitter accounts and only recenlty have begun to see the entertainment value. Love those Targte glow sticks…they get us through the blackouts.
Woo Hoo! You used my Gregory MaGuire prompt idea!! I didn’t think you would, since I never heard back from you. I’m excited, though.
Um. I can’t get over that milkman. That might make me want to order milk for delivery.
The milkman is awesome lol!
hi, don’t think I ever posted a comment to you, this is a great idea, I love your pictures too :)
I will join in next week.
and yes, I am now hooked to twitter, ha!
Jen
that is definitely not my milkman. though I wish it were.
hey, a girl needs some eye candy every once in a while. :)
Okay, that’s really funny. I was wondering how that tweet came about…
I wrote a post, but I’m not seeing the linky. And for some reason that my HTML-challenged mind can’t fathom, I can’t get the button to work either…
Haha! I haven’t looked at Twitter since before Christmas. Your tweets crack me up.
I was scrolling down to check the prompts and stopped in my tracks at the MilkMan. Woohiee. :) Thanks! ;)
I’m more of a Facebook whore myself.
