today was hectic. now at gym (on stationary bike) and my legs are *burning* in an almost good way. #
keep telling myself “no pain, no gain” but it’s not really working. #
mental note to self: never try to respond to email while working out. #
back home, showered and super tired. will have to save to-do list for tomorrow morning. g’night tweeps, sleep well. #

dance class was fun, but getting it together was a debacle. think i’ll stick to my original routine. #
now have to spend 2.5 hrs at gym to make up for it. #
finally back home, showered, tomorrow’s to-do list revised, and alarm clock set. time for bed. g’night tweeps! #
Just finished some morning blogging and now it’s time to work on a couple client projects before checking email. #
Quick tip for non-breakfast eaters: Freeze a chocolate Ensure the night before. It tastes just like a frosty and great meal replacement. #
@sugarrae – never thought I’d say this, but try a Sony Vaio (assuming you’re talking about a laptop). My Vaios kick ass. #
Just tweaked Akismet to put “not spam” comments back in moderation instead of automatically approving it. That always bugged me. #
@formerfatguy – um, what’s a fruit fast? A fast wherein you only eat fruit? Or a fast wherein you *don’t* eat any fruit? #
@kellymccausey those seem to be going around today (just had a couple myself. LOL) #
@formerfatguy thanks for the explanation. Sounds like my kind of fast. #
Completely forgot: Came home last night to an amazing sight–my first moonflower blossoms! http://flickr.com/photos/somestranger/2534381576/ #
@shermanhu – just saw your replies (sorry). Thank you to the first comment and I take hip hop, jazz, and ballet classes. #

Published a short tutorial yesterday for multiple WP installs using a single database: http://tinyurl.com/4ffy5g #
If there are any other blogging/WP related tutorials anyone would like to see, just lemme know. The suggestion box is now open. #
Convinced sister to accompany me to the gym today. Supposed to be letting my body rest, but couldn’t pass this up. Later tweeps. #
Back from the gym. Got an email from HostGator about a password change…except, my name isn’t Tom Washington. Hmm. #
@mkhall – I’ve got some mint growing on my front porch…take your pick: lemon balm, spearmint, or peppermint. #
@belleenchanted – I saw some absolutely delectable lavender the other day while grocery shopping. Will probably buy it if it’s still there. #
@netadventures – not to worry, he did it because of security (a lot of weak passwords) #
@mkhall – huh? what? I totally missed that? All I saw was mint and rolling around. #
@DearYvette – that sounds like a damn fine plan. #
I either have a lizard somewhere in my room crawling over papers or my cat is hiding in here somewhere. #
Oh, just heard a sneeze. Lizards don’t sneeze. Must be the cat. #
Back to writing the newsletter and checking email and theme development. #

Just finished revising my contact form’s confirmation message adding a note that not all email addresses work 100% of the time. #
Rather than contact me again in a tizzy since I didn’t respond–try checking the spam folder or using a *different* email address. #
Now, I can get back to organizing my blogs and revising my editorial schedule since it’s been on my to-do list for too long now. #
@cflinnds I’m on PC and I generally use a piece of paper and a pen for my to-do lists. (My daily ones, anyway.) #
Lately, I’ve been using my new Tilt, which does a nice job of keeping things in order for me. #
@techlady – a bit late, but I actually do like the Tilt. The keyboard could have been designed better, but all in all, a good buy. #
*sigh* I have a lot more blogs and websites than I remember having. One day I will have them all reigned in. At least, that’s the plan. #
@AndyBeard – LOL and I’ve done that, too. #
My tummy’s upset. Just finished brewing some fresh mint tea. Hope that will settle it. #

Good afternoon tweeps. Hope all is well in your world and your day is bright. Just finished morning constitutional and now checking email. #

all right, birthday’s over. time to get back to work. #
@DearYvette – that’s because Twitter rocks. #
First order of business is to get this blog entry edited and published in the next hour. It’s been in draft for nearly two weeks. *sigh* #
@DearYvette – <waving> Have a good day and you’re a rock star. #
Took a bit longer than an hour, but at least it’s done. Now I can finally move on to catching up on email and forum questions. #

just left ballet and going to take a short lunch break before hitting the gym. #
exercise seems to be working, but I lost my butt – one of two things I was looking forward to keeping. #
@misc2 seriously? hope it wasn’t anything with sentimental value (or valuable) #
just left gym and I am tired and HUNGRY. must find food (and answer emails). #

Hello twitterverse! I’ve been rather quiet lately, but it’s just because I’ve been super busy. I promise to tweet more from now on. #
On a happy note, my shirt (http://tinyurl.com/3b5mcs) arrived on Tues. Haven’t worn it yet, but so looking forward to it (is that dorky?). #
@daver – by like an inch or two. *rolls eyes* #
All right, back to checking and answering questions in the forum before wrangling e-mail. #
@daver – LOL. You’re lucky — rarely do I wear heels. #
@learninggeek and @belleenchanted – wonderful to see you guys on Twitter. What took you so long? #
@baratunde – omnigraffle looks hot, too bad I’m on Windows and have yet to see a comparable application. #
@baratunde – I’ve also been lusting after onmioutliner. *sigh* #
How messed up is it that I completely forgot my birthday is coming up on Mon.? ‘Tis much easier to get excited when turning 13, 18, and 21. #

happy belated mother’s day to all the mommies. #
sister just kidnapped me despite the protests; apparently we’re going to Red Lobster – too bad I don’t eat seafood. #
