An exciting week on the twitter…

Have I mentioned that my friend @billycoffey’s book Snow Day is now available for purchase? I think I probably have. On Monday, the fine folks at Faith Words threw a twitter party in honor of the official release day of the book, using the hash tag #SnowDayBook. There’s quite a few tweets about that here, but trust me, I’ve omitted the majority of them because dang…

But here’s the REALLY exciting news: Professed twitter snob Sharkbait is now on the twitter! Follow him at @fishythoughts, and tell him I sent you. He’ll appreciate that.

The most hilariously ironic thing about this development is the fact that I was eating fish at Red Lobster restaurant when I saw his first tweet–sorry Sharkie. But come on, that’s just sort of funny, no? And it wasn’t clown fish. At least I’m pretty sure it wasn’t clown fish…

And now, the best of me (or not) on the twitter this week:

@CandySteele Snort! I wish. (in reply to CandySteele @katdish I didn’t know it either. You probably have a truckload of floral arrangements in your driveway though.)

@CandySteele Today is bosses day? Good thing no one’s the boss of me.

@weightwhat It’s been a busy week. I’ve had to be relatively nice. It’s stressful. (in reply to weightwhat @katdish You’re kind of scaring me right now.)

@weightwhat I know, right? (in reply to weightwhat @katdish Who are you?!)

Okay, @askbillmitchell says to repost early. And as you know, I always do what I’m told.

I wrote a post about the courtesy refollow on twitter scheduled to post in an hour. Should I post it early or what?

Wow! #SnowDayBook #62 on Amazon’s Bestsellers in American Lit! @billycoffey

Litter box just went from odor-free to “Smelly Cat what are they feeding you?”

Sigh…I just went to make a call on my iPhone. Clicked on the email icon and put the phone to my ear. Long day.

@dlrayburn Good for you, Dusty! You should write a review (in 800 words or less)

RT @dlrayburn CORRECTION: I did! I did! I did win a copy of “Snow Day: A Novel” by @billycoffey from @FaithWords !

@sarahmsalter Good point. That way it would always be annoyingly close to me at all times. (in reply to sarahmsalter @katdish Can you fit Buddy Love with a clipboard to hold onto your list? He can wear it like a saddle.)

@sarahmsalter Yes. And then I lose them. (in reply to sarahmsalter @katdish Do you make to-do lists? That’s how I survive…)

And it’s often a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Do you every have this nagging feeling you’re forgetting to do something? I pretty much feel like that every day.

@dlrayburn Yeah, I do that too… (in reply to dlrayburn 300…that’s like telling a preacher he has 5 minutes.)

@dlrayburn 700 to 800 is pretty much the max. 300-600 is a good target to shoot for. (in reply to dlrayburn I think I need to start limiting my posts to 500 words…I’m just not sure I can do it.)

Ha! TWSS. http://plixi.com/p/50607186

It’s easier to believe the lies the world tells us about ourselves than in the truth God buries in each of our hearts.

I don’t watch much reality TV, but I happened to click on Jerseylicious, & it’s like a trainwreck. It’s horrible, but I can’t look away.

@tonyjalicea Oooo! I’ll start working on my acceptance speech. (in reply to tonyjalicea @MarketerMikeE @katdish I vote Kat mayor of Twitterville!)

In search of deeper faith, it is 1 thing to embrace your doubt, quite another to celebrate it while mocking those whose faith is strong. You may never know the dark roads they have traveled to find it.

@Brian_Russell To paraphrase my 13 YO son, Boo-yah! (in reply to Brian_Russell In the paraphrased words of @katdish, it’s unfollow hammer time!)

@dlrayburn @makeadiff21 Of course I did! (in reply to dlrayburn RT @makeadiff21: RT @katdish: @dlrayburn Did you move it?? //You know she did.)

@kelybreez I’m just trying to help people find a great book easier. Books a million should thank me. (in reply to kelybreez @katdish That’s the Christian friendship sabotage spirit at work right there!)

@dlrayburn yeah, but it’s hidden on the bottom shelf. Or at least it was… (in reply to dlrayburn @katdish Hey it’s turned out showing the full cover! That’s a good thing!)

Ahh, much better! http://plixi.com/p/50259511

Now that ain’t right! http://plixi.com/p/50259363

Man, why does twitter keep interrupting wanting me to download the new version? #rude

Dear #NewTwitter: I’m just not that into you. It’s not you, it’s me. Love, katdish

Computer is running slow. I think I need to de-frag it. I have no idea what that means, but I’m thinking that would help.

@FaithWords Thanks for a great #SnowDayBook day!

@CandySteele Well, yeah…that too. (in reply to CandySteele RT @katdish Never underestimate the power of social media #SnowDayBook / or the power of a great book & heart of a great writer)

Never underestimate the power of social media #SnowDayBook

Holy Cow! Really? >RT @LoveWriteCook: @katdish @billycoffey Now #75.

@billycoffey Can’t argue with you there. (in reply to billycoffey @katdish Oh, you know too much about everything already.)

@billycoffey Wait…I CAN’T know it all? That’s not at all comforting.

RT @billycoffey Life is made more beautiful by the unknown. Somehow knowing that we couldn’t ever know it all was comforting. #SnowDayBook

@billycoffey I am, aren’t I? (in reply to billycoffey @katdish You’re such a good mom.)

Both kids home from school today. While I’m at my computer, their making good choices #cookiedoughforbreakfast

It seems @BuddyLovetheDog can hardly contain his excitement about #Snowdaybook day. http://plixi.com/p/50043920

RT @FaithWords: Guess what today is! #SnowDayBook Twitter party to celebrate the pub of SNOW DAY by debut author @billycoffey! Join the fun!

@gabbysherri Yes. (in reply to gabbysherri @katdish -“right” or “overbearing”…)

@gabbysherri Hello there! I see you found Shark Bait. You would think I would get tired of being right all the time… (in reply to gabbysherri @fishythoughts – I don’t believe it! She got to you, didn’t she? Well, you can be like me- pop in, pop out–keep em off your back/scales)

@katbrak Influenced. Yeah, let’s go with that. (in reply to katbrak @katdish and I know you’ve forced, um, influenced them all to join :))

@katbrak He’s hardly the first person who told me they wouldn’t join Twitter.

@CandySteele I do, don’t I? (in reply to CandySteele RT @katdish A very special forward: follow @fishythoughts. My favorite grumpy little fish! / you always win)

A very special forward: follow @fishythoughts. My favorite grumpy little fish!

@fishythoughts Hoo HA HA!!!! Sharkbait is on Twitter!!! I win! I win! (in reply to fishythoughts @duane_scott Congratulations. You are the first to notice. Don’t tell @katdish :-))

Surrender, surrender. But don’t give yourself away, aaaaaayyyy, aaa-ay-ay awaaaaaaaaaay! #randomcheaptricklyrics

@MarkDavidGerson Don’t you kinda feel like a jerk saying “Mark David Green likes Mark David Green and thinks you should too!” (in reply to MarkDavidGerson Trying this “fan” page thing out. (Ugh: hate the term “fan” page.)

@MaryDeMuth Did you know that the traditional “mum bigger than your head” is mostly a Texas thing?

@DougSpur Get out! Really? So you got a copy? Nice, huh? (in reply to DougSpur @katdish I told em what you said And look at this here book in my hand woopwoop)

@DougSpur Wait…they’re not allowed to put it on the shelves until Mon. But tell them I said it was OK. Which will illicit blank stares. (in reply to DougSpur @katdish – thanks – I’m headin’ to the truck)

@DougSpur absolutely. (in reply to DougSpur @katdish – so, if I buy from the local Books a Million or order online it helps ya’ll just the same?)

@redclaydiaries I think it’s saying, “Tweet more, the world needs your wisdom.”(in reply to redclaydiaries @katdish Sounds like twitter’s trying to tell you something.)

247 tweets? I know that ain’t right.

@WriteOnRideOn I usually get someone in my entourage to carry it. (in reply to WriteOnRideOn @katdish You DO carry a portable red carpet with you at all times, right? Especially in the grocery store you love so much.)

I love how the frozen food cases in the grocery store light up as I pass. Sometimes I’ll get to the end, turn around and bow.
