Twitter Digest: My Tweets for 2008-03-28

by Carolyn

Just took oldest to a school library event for extra English class credit. She tried to beg off, but she’s ditched class 9 times. Recently. #
Heading to Costco later. Kites on sale for $9. Buying them for 4 kids at this weekend’s family meet-up at a state park. *squee* Can’t WAIT! #
Is it sad that I consider it “cooking” when we pan-fry the ham slices for our sandwiches? #
@poshmama (new Twitter follower here — enjoying your chit-chat.) Prayer said. Hope your flight left OK! #
Heading to birthday lunch with friends. Might as well celebrate turning 47 tomorrow — I’ll *gasp* get older anyway! #
Took a half day off. Just finished long lunch with coworkers and am picking up daughter — hitting the road shortly. WEEKEND! #
Couldn’t find my crappy second-hand digital camera before trip. Just got new one from Costco. Am now filled with love for humanity. #
Listening to “Angel” by Shaggy. WAY better than the Olivia Newton-John version I remember. (Checking myself for musical expiration date.) #
Much calmer traveling with a GPS. No worries about getting lost. Just keeping an eye on my teen’s driving. No need for EXTRA adrenaline. #
Trying to explain to teen driver why it’s not worth it to root around in lap for sunflower seeds she dropped. #
Flashing blue lights. Patrolman just flew by us. My daughter, who has a learner’s permit, may have permanently stained the driver’s seat. #
Never realized before how accustomed I am to driving with just my own thoughts. Daughter/driver is a music lover. Calm melodies, thank god. #
Discussing vampire novels and movies with daughter. Love the fact that we both enjoy this genre. #
Just passed the world’s most neon orange 18-wheeler. 116 miles to next turn … #
Riding down a pretty stretch of Mississippi highway with dogwood and redbud in bloom among the pines, the sun low in the sky. #
Good grief — SO MANY cops on the road today. Expecting a big rash of Friday fools to hit their pavement? #
Feeeling nauseated-burny in stomach like I did with kidney infection. Maybe didn’t eat enough before taking antibiotics? (Still on meds.) #
Me: “Are the headlights on?” Daughter: (click) “Yes.” #
Wishing my new camera’s battery was charged. Passed a long golden field banded by a treeline turning spring green. Beautiful lines. #
DAMN, just passed six deer grazing by side of road. (I’m not hoping for Roadkill Stew. Just wishing camera was charged.) #
@schmutzie Noro is so lovely. Your earlier description made me want some too. Know what you’re making yet? #
Darn it — we just hit the rain that was predicted. It’s the intermittent drizzle crap, too. About 2 1/4 hours to go … #
