Motherhood is deciding whether to eat my food very slowly, just in case I accidentally gave myself part of my toddler’s portion, or eating quickly to be done before they start screaming to get down to play. It’s a trap. Both are wrong.

I don't really know who still actively uses Twitter and who doesn't. Most of (what is this called here, a timeline? feed?) what I see are corporate accounts I followed ages ago. Maybe that's why taking it off my phone didn't feel like a big deal. *tap* Is this thing on?

Just saw Titanic in 3D at the same theater I saw it at in 1997. Honestly kind of surreal. Pretty sure @elisecarolineb was a few rows in front of me with someone who had never seen it! Elise, if that was you, what did that person think?!

Can’t wait until DJ wakes up and sees this.

Got Chris Jericho from the very first performance! What does it say about me that the three performers I’ve known from the get go are country singers, a Backstreet Boy, and a professional wrestler? #maskedsinger

In 2008, sitting in our dorm common room, I learned about and joined Twitter. I tweeted really stupid inside jokes by SMS. Now I mostly use it to keep up with former colleagues and the writing community, but damn I miss those simple SMS days of yore.

I got to write about Halloween costumes and babies! Talk about a perfect prompt for a new mom who loves Halloween. 👻 🎃

My old job is available! Message me with any questions.

I adore my life in North Carolina, raising my son with my wonderful husband near where I grew up and my family within driving distance. Still, I miss my friends in Boston. <3

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! Yikes that’s a long time. #MyTwitterAnniversary

My interests are quite varied.

Today I got stung multiple times by yellow jackets while mowing. My Benadryl-fueled dreams afterward found me meeting @StephenAmell, @JohnCena, @KenJennings, @caitylotz, Emily Bett Rickards, and Aidy Bryant, all in one place. Makes getting stung almost worth it. 😂

Just saw the sneak peek of the fall @dunkindonuts menu and all I’ll say is that the new refresher had better be IN ADDITION TO the apple cranberry refresher. I’ve waited 7 months already for it to come back. Please don’t take this small pleasure from me. 🍎

These comparisons make me so happy. 🥰

Looking to shop green? Some of those green claims may not be what they seem.

This was the first time I ever worked with managers who prioritize mental and physical health, genuinely care about their employees, and still do amazing, groundbreaking work. If you work in image analysis, machine learning, or software, keep an eye out for open positions. 3/3
