It all started with this tweet…
Because seriously, it has. I started blogging for the community of fab women, not because I have a desire to be a writer. Writing well is a gift that God bestows on some and I write very much like I sing. And, honey, when I sing- I make cats cry.
I started blogging two years ago, May of 2007. I loved it obviously. But then something happened, I discovered a new love. I joined twitter in August of 2007. And it was the joy of having all my blogging friends around without the hassle of trying to compose a blog post. A lazy gal’s dream!
Oh, twitter how I love thee…
Now, sure, there are the debates all over teh interwebz, “twitter is MICRO-blogging” vs “twitter is NOT blogging.” Me? I don’t really care. I love it all.
Where was I going with this again?
Oh yeah, today on twitter…
So the always hilarious @GeorgeGSmithJr said-
And the uber talented @MommyBrain leapt to action-
Dear Friends of Fussypants, I give you-
Sometimes my blog just writes itself.
Thanks Mommy Brain, you rawk!
I owe it all to my love of Twitter.
I just can’t quit ya!

My name is @AVirtuousWoman, and I’m a Tweeter.
“Hi, @AVirtuousWoman”
Oh how I feel your pain. I’m envisioning a new line of therapy to help people step away from the computer (and more specifically twitter).

My first reaction: Ewwwww!
Sorry.
But, yes, Twitter can be addicting. And a big narcisstic, no?
I find myself going in spurts with it. Can’t quite figure out my feelings on it yet.
Love your new blog design, by the way. You have impecable taste.

Kristen´s last blog ..It pays to be honest (6/11/09–2 posts today–please read both!!)
I laughed myself silly when I saw that this morning and I am doing it again (while wrestling a baby that won’t sleep). I love it.
I feel much the same about twitter. I love it. Except it doesn’t love me and I had to delete and start my account over again the other day. I lost all of my followers and all those I follow, boo

Sarah Mae´s last blog ..Thank God For Little Girls…And Nail Polish
This is totally awesome and also totally true. And yet, I feel like it’s not that I need to spend less time reading. I just need to spend less time reading microblogging and more time reading actual blog posts. And posting myself? Yeah, who’s got time for that when there’s so much twitter to tweet.
I have had more Twitter DMs about this post than actual comments. LOL.
amazing how things change
I LOVE this!!!! It’s so true! I luz me some twitter too. It’s all great like you said – I have so many new BFF’s I LOVE IT!!!
Andrea @ Mommy Snacks.net´s last blog ..Fat Burnin’ Friday: It is what it is
AM not blogging, twittering or stumbling anymore. All that can be done via Facebook.
I’ve noticed it seems to have replaced posting comments on my blog, which kinda peeves me. LOL When I tweet out a blog post I want comments on the blog LOL
Nell
OMG you are SO right. I say this a lot, actually, how Twitter and forums are KIL-LING the blogs lol
But Monica, the picture? Friggin’ GENIUS. LOVE it lol
Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting´s last blog ..Chat Room, Weight Update and Other Randomosities

That’s my kind of post, baby. I wrote one about close to the same thing with my iPhone.
iPhone Killed the Blogstar. Then AT&T sent me a survey. HA!
Don’t worry. You will come back to the blog. Your heart is here – you are just sewing your wild 140 character oats.
