Not going there…not going there…not going there…

Phew, that was close. But I’m honoring Mama Pea’s TWSS ban. I didn’t say it, so it doesn’t count.

When I walked in the door this evening, Lucas told me I had two packages waiting — it’s Christmas in January!

The first was a box I ordered back in December, from Scan Cafe. Scan Cafe is a really cool service that takes your photos and scans them to DVD (or any other format you choose). For those of us who were born in the Polaroid craze and went to college in the pre-Facebook days (gasp!), Scan Cafe is a great option to preserve those photos of kegs and eggs parties, beer pong victories, crimped hair graduations, family and more.

Don’t believe me on the crimped hair?

Whatevs. I was rocking the claddagh ring, too. It was a must-have in 1990. Who would want to lose pictures like this?

I also got a fun package from the “I Wear Your Shirt” Guys. They had one of those ideas that makes you KICK yourself for not thinking of it first. They wear a shirt of your choosing, take pictures, video and more and share it with their HUGE networks on Facebook and Twitter. The first day of the year costs $1. The second day costs 2, and so on.

Look, guys — I’m wearing YOUR shirt!

I’ve been away from the blog for a few days, so here’s a quick game of catch up. It includes beer flights and happy husbands:

Followed by Pita Pit and happy, hummus-filled me:

And a new batch of homebrew, waiting for my assessment:

Wow, my life is pretty good, huh?

I need your help! I’m working on a collection of my favorite Twitter links, because — I’m obsessed. Do you follow me? I’m looking for the tools that make it easier to get started, find people, take part in chats, etc. I actually made a little video to talk about using hashtags (I moderate a live chat every week) and I’m hoping to create a special page of resources for anyone who wants to learn more.

There are some audio issues, so go in with low expectations.

What do you like/dislike about Twitter? What do you use to make it easier?
