Unfortunately, this is not a problem I have had, lately:
Reblock Yourself the Polly Frost Way – The Atlantic January 7, 2009
I signed up for Twitter a while ago, but I haven’t really figured it out, yet. Maybe if I had one of those high-powered gee-whiz smart phones I would make more use of it. If I could ‘tweet’ while I was going about my day (a tweet is like a very short blog post), maybe I would get it.
Now that we’re back from our great journey to the Midwest, it seems like everything should have fallen back into place routine-wise. But it hasn’t. Going on vacation is like getting bucked off a horse: sometimes you’d rather just lay on the ground where you landed than climb back on. (I think that analogy popped into my head because we just watched the first two episodes of the second season of Deadwood. Highly recommended.)
Part of what’s kept me from my writing these last few days was an obstacle course of doctors’ appointments for Sean and for me. Why did we set them for the week after the holiday? Sean had his one-year visit yesterday, and everything is just as normal as can be. The immunization clinic was backed up, so we had to go back today for his shots. Count ‘em 1, 2, 3, 4.
After that, the real fun started. But that’s a separate blog post…
Hey Tom! I’m on twitter and I really like it. You can add your updates to the sideline of your blog for added reader interest, and log into the twitter homepage to catch up on all the updates of those that you “follow.” I like it because sometimes there are things I want to note on that I don’t want to make a full blog about. You can reply to someone’s tweet too, so it’s sort of like another social network to stay connected.
LOVED the analogy of vacations feeling like getting bucked off a horse!!! That’s exactly how I felt over Thanksgiving, except my horse fell into a prairie dog hole and broke it’s leg. (which is why we didn’t travel for Christmas!)
You can update twitter via text message from any text-messaging cell phone. That’s how I do it, on my extremely dumb old cell phone, the rare times I’m not on the Internet. I keep meaning to blog about why I love Twitter, and why soon you will too, but I haven’t so much as opened blogspot on this trip. Poor neglected blog…
Hi Navy Husband,
I just got on Twitter myself. Still learning it. I’m using it mostly on my regular cell phone using text messages. I’m looking for a network of military husbands who can give me tips. It’s been rough having to give up my career and starting over many times when we PCS. Hope to see you on Twitter soon!
