Social Networks seem to be the new thing. All of sudden the whole word is crazy with twitter. Even though twitter isn’t really that new. My friends and I have been using twitter since ‘07. Ya know, before it was the cool thing.But just like Myspace and Facebook the more the merrier. The past few days I’ve been having fun following my friends and tons of strangers. The best feature has to be the way news can travel so fast through twitter. In the midst of this Swine Flu thing, I’ve been completely updated, although nothing major really seems to be happening. Twitter is making the world even smaller. Last night there was an earthquake in California, I knew probably before google, from the loads of people twittering. While watching American Idol, by simply searching #idol I could see everyone else’s reaction to Adam being in the bottom two. (Yes I’m an American Idol fan. Go Gokey!) I even enjoy reading Ryan Secreast’s twitters before the show. Speaking of celebrity’s, even the WhiteHouse is on Twitter.

I use about three different apps to twitter aside from the actual website. TweetDeck for my computer, Twitterrific for my iTouch, and Twitterberry for my blackberry. Sometimes I use just regular SMS text messaging if I’m in a hurry.  Now that I’ve typed all that out, I’m wondering WHY do I need so many apps to twitter LOL! Well let me explain. TweetDeck shows both Facebook and Twitter status updates, and it makes RT (retweet) and replying easier. Obviously I’m in love with iTouch and it wouldn’t be complete without a Twitter app. I downloaded Twitterberry recently so I can send mobile twitpics. 

Well enough about Twitter, even though its no longer #followfriday here’s a couple of peeps I want to recommend:  Sister_LoLo, MsMikkole, MyOfficalPage

Oh and don’t forget to follow me!

The cruise was GREAT. Didn’t think I could have so much fun. Even got in the pool. It was 4ft and I stayed close the the edge. I’ve been looking up places that hold swimming lessons. Thinking about getting in a class sometime in July. Anyways like I said I had a really good time. We went to Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico. Got some really great pictures of the water and beaches. I’m convinced cruises are the best way to vacation now. Travel, Food, Fun and Hotel all in one low price! When we got back bubbles (our dog) was so happy to see us. She was in the kennel the whole time. I don’t think she liked it at all.

I started a diet on Monday. Hopefully take down some of those pounds I gained from the trip. Before I started this blog, I used to have diet journal on blogger.com. I switched from the diet I usually do, and decided to try the Curves diet plan. I started exercising at curves about three months ago. I’m not going to renew my contract, because I wasn’t motivated enough to have another bill added. Besides I have so many exercise DVDs and equipment at home I shouldn’t spend anymore money on memberships. Me and hubby started working out together in the afternoons after dinner. He likes the kickboxing dvds. They give a good work out, but I don’t think they’re much fun. So during the day while he’s at work I do the dvds that i enjoy more. I guess that’s cool since I end up working out twice a day. So back to the diet. Its going well. Today is only the third day. So that’s not saying much.

Another thing that’s been on my mind a lot lately is my friends. I love them all, but I really hate it when they can’t be happy for you. I like to think that I’m always happy and encouraging towards my friends no matter what is going on in my life. Lately one of my friends doesn’t seem to know that she should treat me the same way. We’ve had problems for awhile now, but I guess I’m just finally getting fed up.
