How Tropical Storm Edouard effected my day on Twitter 8/5/08

It was a very busy day on Twitter for me today. I stayed home with the kids because Edouard caused work and my daycare to close for the day. Nothing really became of the storm but some rain and a bit of wind. On Twitter tho, I met a few new people and just had much heavier traffic than usual.

In reverse order:

imelda: Polishing the silver and looking for Hulky items.

[Went to see Stepbrothers with Danielle.]

imelda: Woke up from a nice 2 hour nap. How what should I do?

nexion: @imelda Yeah, it’s great for me. Not corporate, but an enterprise grade network and creative solutions for non-profits.

imelda: @Jessica_El Good for you :D can’t wait to see some new photos. in reply to Jessica_El

amateria: @imelda For some reason the capes reminded me that I need to order a new labcoat for my son - he outgrew his old one: http://is.gd/1fU9

imelda: @eerriinn, the Cape Maker, is on Twitter! Yay! The link one more time - http://www.plumpearapple.com in reply to eerriinn

eerriinn: @imelda you are a SUPERSTAR! thanks so much! for everything, the tweets, the FB, the kirtsy. :)

imelda: @AskDrDing Oh order 1 & I’ll order 1 for me too. I hope they come in adult sizes. Met Erin on Flickr because both our sons are named Mason. in reply to AskDrDing

cmartin82: @imelda Def no Twitter rock star here, but following the ones who are. Maybe I can learn a thing or two from Houston’s elite Twitterati?

imelda: Now following @cmartin82 because she’s from Houston and following me. Let’s see what she’s all about ;)

AskDrDing: @imelda I think I need one of those capes. A. Dor. A. Ble.

imelda: Getting crazy over here.. we’re rubbing Hot Wheels Cars on our heads. Ouch!

luminarias: @imelda Oh thanks for sharing. My best friends’s son who has a birthday in November will love this!!!

epodcaster: @imelda: A nice cold glass of milk goes a long way towards cutting down the sugar high. Plus it’s good for them. :-)

imelda: @epodcaster They made them so I guess they get to eat them. Strawberry with sprinkles :D in reply to epodcaster

imelda: @etee kids are a little much but beats going to work. Calgon! Take me away! in reply to etee

epodcaster: @imelda: Cupcakes for lunch? That makes you the “cool mom”. Of course in about 30 minutes you’re going to be the “going crazy mom” ;-P

imelda: @gwenbell totally but we have to move to Boulder with you. Got room? in reply to gwenbell

gwenbell: @imelda Will you be my mommy?

imelda: @jj4tlr Too cute JJ! Good idea too! in reply to jj4tlr

jplesko @imelda wow! can I come to your house for lunch?

imelda: Kids are having cupcakes for lunch. I’m totally going to regret this.

etee: @imelda How are you enjoying the day off?

imelda: Just found out my brother-in-law who did a 7 wk bike ride, put photos of Mason and my niece Hannah in his bike spokes. How sweet!

CarolineCo: @imelda Craft Night is canceled for the night. Your homework assignment is to make your own craft at your home and stay dry.

seanabrady: @imelda I called HMNS and they are open. I think Iain and I are going in a bit.
