I tweeted the tweeting Twitter!

I have no idea how to use "Twitter" as a verb, adjective, or noun (or as I like to call them-- "Action Words", "Describing Words", and "Naming Words" -- First Grade Grammar, which is all I really ever received in my stunning education, ROCKS!).

Back to Tweeting Twitter... I joined up. I figure if my congressman can Twitter while the President is speaking, then it can't be that hard.

I think I've figured out why everyone likes it. You can post to Twitter and then it gets updated all over the Internet, including Twitter itself, my Facebook (known to some as FacePage), as well as The ChalkBoard.

You can see what I'm doing by looking to your right ------->

I will try Twittering out, but if I ever need to make a large, cool post, I'll still use the Chalkboard. However Twitter can be done with my cell phone very easily, so I may be updating that more often.

Professor Basketball: Too Funny Not to Share


I may be biased, but I think that my husband's little quirks are HILARIOUS! For those of you who also enjoy Jason's ridiculous antics, I have a good one for you.

Since the day we moved to Westminster, Jason tried to gather a group of guys to play basketball each Saturday. For a while, it was sad. Sometimes, I even went so they had 2 on 2. By now, this group has grown, and they have a decent showing each week. So, what's hilarious, you ask? Below, I offer you one of Jason's weekly inspirational e-mails to his group, which he refers to as "Professor Basketball." Enjoy!

"We had another great 5-on-5 series with some students again. This time on the main court. While we did drop our first game against students, we did win the series 2-1... meaning that we've built a 2-0 series lead between ourselves and "random students in the rec center". If this were the NBA, we'd be finding ourselves on the brink of our first "Conference Championship".

Either that means that all of the half-court basketball we've been playing has started to pay off as we continue to cream kids in the physical prime of their lives, or the students don't yet understand the true meaning of "The Weekend Warrior" (where winning on Saturdays is *ALL* that matters!). Either way, I'll take our W's :-).

Let me know who is in for this week, and let's keep the games rolling.
