Mah Grams Tweets

Official news:  My Grams is the coolest Grams ever.  If there were people around me, I’d pull out a picture and I’d look at it lovingly.  With extreme prejudice.  While everyone is ignoring me, I’d say softly, “Mine is better than yours.”  I’d look at some and say “Mine’s better than yours,” and I’ll return to looking fondly at her picture.  I’ll smile really big, look at someone else, point at the picture and say “Mine...better…yours.”  Then point at them.  Then to my Grams.  Back at them.  "Mah Gramma’s better."   Back at them.  Mah Gramma’s better your Gramma.  PERIOD.

My Grams just signed up for Twitter.  In case you don’t know, Twitter is like a micro-blogging website.  They represent themselves like this: 

“Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?”

I joined ‘cause: 1) I don’t keep in contact.  With anyone, family included.  2) My family lives far away.  3) It’s super easy.  4) I’m hoping the fam will join too so I feel like I’m ‘in the know’ with their daily lives and therefore won’t be so disconnected.  5) I write big blogs here, and 'what's happening RIGHT NOW!' there.

I’m digging it.  There is the ability to update at anytime from anywhere with your cell phone.  I’s gots myself UNLIMITED texts, so I update all the time.  This morning I saw pirates on the walk to work – UPDATE!  During yoga practice there was a ‘feet series’ involving a self foot massage, I hate feet so UPDATE!  Today I’ve officially lost 20 pounds since January and only have 15 to go – UPDATE (with pride)!  Love it! 

So my Grams signed up, said she’s followin my notes, sent me an email ‘cause she couldn’t figure out how to reply to my updates and I’m in Heaven.  Love my Grams. 

Now.  I’m waiting for my Ma and little brother and little sisters (plural) to sign so I can feel like I’m in their daily lives also.  It’s like passive connection.  Like, a connection without real effort and since I’m so busy and anything ‘effort’ turns me right off, I’m all for it. 

If anyone joins, feel free to Twitter me: EvilChy.  It's not cheating on b4me, it's more of a polygamist relationship.  TWEET.
