@SarahRobinson

The above title is something I can practically type in in my sleep these days (and often do) . My new friend on Twitter, introduced by @johnhaydon and @unmarketing, has entered my life like a tour de force, whipping me into shape with her mompreneur savvy. (For those of you not on Twitter, the whole '@' thing must really be freaking you out!) Good. It will shame you into coming over and joining us in the Twitterverse.

Twitter is like mini-blogging. Each "feed" has space for 140 characters. It's a puzzle—a word game, if you will. I believe I could compose a novel from the words and spare characters I've had to edit out of my Tweets, just to make them fit. And maybe I should.

I joined Twitter about six months ago. The same day I started my blog. After pacing for weeks, wondering if I was ready to put myself out 'there' like this, I just dove in.

My first Tweet: I just threw all my balls into the air.

And my first post? Terrified.

And now I'm here. Pulling shenanigans daily with you all. Very glad I put myself out there. Or is it "in here?"

And very glad of all the wonderful people it's help me stay in touch with and the people it's brought into my life, like @SarahRobinson, and the hooligans listed above.

My next goal—to bring a little more Jen here, too. I think it's time. Miss Ive could use a break from all the tomfoolery.

Which is why I agreed to take myself very seriously and send a 15 second video clip of myself answering the question "I am_______," for @SarahRobinson's latest viral video shenanigan. That's right, she does shenanigans, like moi!

She's a wonderfully pushy girl, something you all know I can appreciate, and I'm posting about her, and all of you, today for two reasons:

1) I'm genuinely exhausted from this stunt and this is what's on the brain, so it's coming out here! I have learned how to edit and splice video now thanks to @SarahRobinson and @johnhaydon. See? Pushy!

2) I'm genuinely bowled over by how much "throwing all of my balls into the air" was the best thing I could have done with my life. Highly recommended.

Now, I have to sleep. . .

As we say in the Twitterverse,

G'night, Tweeps!
