Well, bless my bloggy heart! I opened my email this morning to find 13 new followers for me on Twitter! I must admit this makes me feel a wee bit paranoid because I don't tweet. That's right, I said I don't tweet....I know, I'm a techno-dinosaur... As I've mentioned before, I opened a Twitter account when I began blogging...that was the extent of my twittering. Being a newbie, I didn't understand the whole tweet thing so I basically forgot about it....until this morning...when 13 strangers decided all at once to follow my non-tweeting Twitter. Don't get me wrong....I've had some bloggy friends follow me on Twitter...that's cool...I know who they are and maybe someday I will tweet away with them!

So of course, I did what any good doctor would recommend...I rented a bunch of movies, consulted Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and played cards with my parents. I must say Mrs. Piggle Wiggle's Fighter-Quarrelers Cure was just the ticket to restore harmony at the Bee and Rose Manor. (The Tattletale Cure and Interrupter Cure did their part to help too!) Thank you, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle, for your wonderful wisdom! I cannot recommend Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and her sage advice enough! (I'm sure you could apply her wisdom to surly co-workers, persnickety spouses and annoying siblings too...) We also watched the movie "Inkheart" ....it's FANTASTIC! Catherine and I watched it twice in one afternoon bec...
