I'm being followed

People kept telling me I "have" to Twitter. They insist it's way cool. They insist it's the next greatest thing after blogging (which is a love-hate thing in my life, to tell the truth). But "they" can't really articulate what it is or why. So, I thought I'd investigate for myself. I learned you can't find out much of anything without creating an account. So I did. And now I'm getting emails every few minutes telling me that "so and so is following you on Twitter." It's kind of creepy. Makes me want to check and make sure I re-hooked my bra after the last nursing. Makes me want to be sure there's not spit up on my shoulder. Makes me want to clean up the area around my desk. Makes me wonder...are they going to follow me into the laundry room to switch loads, to the kitchen to unload the dishwasher, to Katie's room to strip the bedsheets? Why in the world would anyone care? And even if they did, I can't DO those things and write about them at the same time can I? 

Clearly, I still don't get it...
