We the Tweeple

I am not as prolific with the words as my daughter, and I sure don't have as much fun as she does, therefore I don't have as much to write about. I could bore the few of you that stop by with my daily life, but trust me - you don't want to hear about the Lighting Business. Whatever business you personally are in I'm sure you can just change the names ,the customers/clients, salespeople, and find there isn't really much difference. It's a daily soap opera wherever you are. Then again, that could be another blog.

Well the move is approaching fast so the packing has to begin. Or at least pick up. I've managed to take bags of "stuff" to the goodwill drop offs, sell things on Craig's list, but there is still more. Where does it all come from ? I've gone thru TONS of photo albums and loose photos this past week and decided if I thought I saw it already it was trash. If I couldn't identify anyone in the photo, it was trash. Tomorrow will start again - this time unloading old clothes that for some reason I think may come back into style or even more astounding that I would actually FIT into them again. If - or should I say when - I get back into shape I will treat myself to new clothes. Tomorrow will be "clean it out" day. Sunday we will start packing in earnest.

Since I was last here I finally took all the silver coins that my parents had to a coin dealer. I didn't have a million-dollar coin - but the little Crown Royal bag of silver coins and 58 old old pennies got me close to $350.00. Not too shabby. Now if I could get rid of all the Albums before I move that would really be great!

I was very excited to see that I have another official "follower". Hello Marcy!! We're going to get everyone on Twitter next. I know I mentioned it last time - and at first I thought it was pretty lame. I couldn't figure out why anyone would want to know what someone was doing every second of the day - like when you put up what you are doing or feeling on Facebook. Let's your friends know the barometer for the day. Since I didn't actually have any friends on Twitter that "Tweeted" I had to go look around and get a feel for this thing. I decided to follow Ashton Kutcher and his wifey because they constantly "tweeted". It was like I was eavesdropping on them , but then I realized I was getting information instantly from the various people and organizations I was following. News organizations, celebrities, and regular people reporting things the instant they happen. Before they appear on the MSN and Yahoo home pages. I'm still not sure exactly what I'm doing there, but I'm one of the Tweeple now.
