Today’s writing prompt asked me to share some of my favorite tweets. I’ve catalogued 10,049 tweets. Obviously, I can’t go through them all, but I did make it through the last year’s worth. What I found? I tweet a lot about the puppy, my kids, whining, the other wine, and coffee. Don’t believe me? I find that I tweet quite a bit about my kids, and to be honest? Mostly about my daughter, her tantrums, and the incredibly slow pace with which she approaches life: Last year, I spent a lot of time tweeting about the puppy and the chaos that follows her:   Thankfully, she has turned into a…

Yesterday, Boo lost another tooth. Acting on behalf of the tooth fairy, I swapped out the tooth for a one-pound coin.
