I must admit: I've been cheating on you, blog.
I've been tweeting.
I know, I know. I'm sorry!
It's not you, it's me. (And now the not-following-the-crowd-silly-snob in me insists on noting that I've been on Twitter for over a year, long before all of these recent press flurries about it. There, n-f-t-c-s-s Annie, are you happy?)
It's been difficult to write blog entries lately, for a variety of reasons, but somehow the little twitter tweets with their 140 character limit have been a welcome recipient of my spare thoughts (and much less time consuming!).
We just keep getting shorter and pithier, don't we? First letters, then phone calls, then emails, then blogs, then facebook, then twitter. With some texting thrown in there somewhere. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about this progression (regression?) but I do know I've become a convert to this newest thing. I like knowing what others are up to. It satisfies the curious-about-life-and-others me. Plus you get information lightning fast.
Anyway, here are some pretty mundane descriptions of what I've been up to lately:- On the bright side=my migraine last night made me go to bed at 7:30 and now I feel pretty great.about 4 hours ago from TwitterGadget

So do you twitter?
If yes--> I'd love to follow you...just leave your [twitter]name in the comments.
If you don't but are intrigued---> give it a shot!
If you don't and are repelled by the idea-->Just forget I said anything at all. And sorry!--I'm sure my boring list of tweets did nothing to entice you.)
