My husband has given me unending grief about joining Twitter. He nonchalantly tosses around words like “obsessed” and “addict.”
But I know he loves me anyway.
Wanna know how I know?
On Twitter, I’m @casualperfect.
If you go to casualperfect.com, where do you end up?
Right back here.
Pretty cool, huh?! The fact that this was completely his idea makes my little heart go pitter-pat.
And, for the record, I may be an addict, but I’m pretty sure this makes him an enabler.
And, I’m totally fine with that.
How do you keep in touch with people…and vice versa? In person? Snail Mail? Phone? Email? If you’re reading this on the Internet, odds are you’ve embraced the wonders of technology when it comes to communication.
But, have The Rules of Communication changed with the advent of Social Media?
That’s what I’m writing about today over at Mile High Mamas, the parenting blog of The Denver Post!
The comments are closed here, but I’d REALLY like to see what you have to say over there! Go! Comment! Don’t be shy…
Throughout the day, I write down various random thoughts. I collect and compile them to use as motivation for future blog topics. Recently, I’ve noticed that Twitter is a good recording device for these things as well.
What follows is a smattering of Random Thoughts I’ve recorded via Twitter from the past week or so. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve probably seen these already. If you don’t follow Twitter, the Perfectionist in me wants to be sure you keep in mind that proper spelling, punctuation and grammar are often victims to the 140-character limit of Twitter.
Enjoy!
- There is something ironic & surreal about confirming our Home Dairy Delivery order via the Internet.
- I know I put it somewhere…now, if I could just remember what it was.
- Are you busy tomorrow? I’ve got my city’s 500th anniv 2 plan, my wedding 2 arrange, my wife 2 murder & Guilder to frame for it. I’m swamped! [Super-duper bonus points to the people who recognize this reference!]
- As I look around the dinner table tonight, I realize that we are all happy, healthy and here. I want to hold on to this moment forever.
- Claire screamed from her room, “Look guys!” Fearing the worst, I braced myself. She’d CLEANED it. Not sure my heart can take such a shock.
Are you on Twitter? If so, please leave your Twitter @name in the comments! I’m @casualperfect
Maybe I’ll see you there!

- Claire is pretending to be my doctor. She just gently touched my ribs and said, “Yes. You’re right. Your abs is killing you.”
- You know it’s bad when you ask what your preschooler is doing, and rather than answer, she runs to the time-out corner.
- What they neglect to tell u is that the breathing exercises you learn 4 labor r used more AFTER u give birth than before. *cleansing breath*
- 3yr old just asked if she could find her dream from last night on YouTube. Not yet, sweetie. Not yet.
- Claire & I have to run an errand, and I’m so tempted to just keep going and not come back until the street lights come on.
- 3-year old just gave turn-by-turn directions on the way home. And, she was right. You can take “GPS” off my wish list now.
- After refitting & purchase of new bras, tried them out at jumpy Pump It Up place. Victoria’s Secret hasn’t let me down yet. Quite literally.
- Yes, I am the kind of person who would write, “Make a To Do List” on my list just so I could cross it off. Is there something wrong w/that?
- Can I be naughty so that I can have a 35-minute time-out?
- The more I do, the longer my ToDoList gets. If I wasn’t such a big fan of ToDoLists & irony, I’d be pretty upset. I’m oddly giddy right now.

I’m stuck in a Social Networking Catch-22 of sorts…
…with Facebook to be exact.
I love Facebook because it’s allowed me to keep in touch with everyone, but finding so many people on Facebook makes it hard to keep in touch with everyone.
When I had 20 friends, it took me hardly any time at all to peruse what they were doing and then comment. I could stay on top of that with no problems. When I started to reach 50, I got excited! I’m touching base with so many people! Then, 100 rolled around. It wasn’t long before I hit 200. I was amazed at the power of Facebook and how many people could stay connected.
Currently, I have over 330 Facebook Friends…in just one of my accounts.
Yay! Isn’t being connected the point?
But, how connected am I?
Actually, the more connected I become, the more disconnected I feel.
I love popping in to check on people, but the shear numbers of the task are overwhelming. “Oh, boo hoo…you’ve connected with so many people,” you might be thinking.
Yes, there is a tiny violin playing just for me. Don’t you hear it?
Where will it stop? I have no idea. Will I stop adding friends to the list? No! Will I stop worrying about staying on top of everyone’s everything? Probably.
And, if you’re one of those everyones whose everything got disregarded, I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. It would be so much easier for me to pay attention if I could get these cobwebs out of my hair.
Now, if I could just figure out this Twitter thing…
Just file this along with the other things in the “Never say never, dude.” File.
Yes…I joined Twitter. I really don’t want this to take over my life. In fact, I’m going to use this as a reminder to prove my husband wrong to take control of my online life and not spend so much time there.
We’ll see how this goes.
If you’ve been reading for any time at all, you know that I’ve said I would never join Twitter. Ha! Did you hear the foreshadowing music playing when I said that, too? I tried to ignore it.
Why did I join? Well, I have had a wonderful writing opportunity fall in my lap, and nearly everyone else there has a twitter account. I don’t want to be out of the loop. So, before I write up my official bio for that opportunity, I wanted to have this twitter thing under control.
Ugh.
Resistance is futile.
My husband has threatened to put me in the home if the online world takes over my real life.
Which, I suppose would be okay as long as the facility has a good WiFi connection.
On Twitter, I’m casualperfect and I’m listed under my thecasualperfectionist @gmail. com account.
If you’re on Twitter, find me. If you’re on Twitter and have any advice as to what to do from here, please leave me a comment. Now that I’m here, I want to make the best of it.
