go tweet yourself

i finally started 'tweeting', that is, using twitter

sometimes called "micro-blogging", each message can only be 140 characters. sometimes it's just boring what-i'm-doing-right-now kind of messages, sometimes it's responding to other users, sometimes it's just what's on my mind. here are the highlights since i started and i'll try to continue to re-post them on here if you don't want to follow along there.

housewife life

took jake to school,

halfway through the laundry, did the dishes, picked up the house, starting lunch and working on dinner. don't let anyone tell you that housewife life is easy! (and i don't even have any kids here at the moment!)

i think my mood and energy is up because i'm looking forward to a job interview this weekend and another solid job lead that just came in yesterday!
