Not So Tweet

I checked out Twitter the other day.  I'm not sure I get it.  It seems a little awkward to me...plus, I'm not sure if I want people to have access to every detail of my life or to my every move.  I'm also discouraged by the fact that I've noticed that we have become an impersonal nation/world...seems like everywhere you look, you see someone glued to a cell phone/television...I know that, personally, I feel guilty or like I'm missing something whenever I leave my phone behind...like I've created some crime or that I will miss something crucial.  What did I/we ever do before cell phones?  It is extremely freeing when I misplace my phone.  But, I'm not saying that I won't eventually be won over by the Twitter craze.  I'm just apprehensive about joining the bandwagon so quickly.  After all, it took a lot of thinking before starting a blog.  I know that I should talk, since I've spent quite a bit of time on here starting out...I'm guilty.  But, when I step back and take a minute to reflect, it frightens me to think of how short we have become with each other and how limited our interactions are...I mean, people would rather text than actually talk to another person.  I know, I know...technology's not always a negative thing.  Perhaps, this is my way of righting my own wrong.  I embarrassingly admit that I look forward to certain reality shows weekly.  I try to limit my viewing to the purer and more acceptable shows, but I stray when I adhere to temptation.  We've got it so bad, that we feel as though we know these people personally because we follow them religiously.  Oh, don't mind me.  I guess I just needed something to blog about.

Girl, I just love coming to your blog. Such thought provoking ideas. :) Anyhow, on the topic of twitter...its something that takes a while to get into. I started it as a way to promote my blog, but when I became pregnant w monkey man it was mylife saver. I was on bedrest for almost 6months of the pregnancy and I had post partum issues afterwards. I swear sometimes that twitter and blogging saved my life. Literally.

Now I use twitter to say random ideas/thoughts and keep track of the awesome things my son does. Even for help on what is up w my son. I have met so many awesome people on it - but it takes time and interaction. There are days when I dont talk to anyone cause I'm sobusy w life, but its always there when I need it :).

yeah I am a tad bit addicted to twitter aint i?

It sounds like you've found Twitter to be therapeutic & who am I to stand in the way of therapy? I'm glad that you made it through the tough times you experienced with your first pregnancy...I say, tweet on!
