Top Tweets of the Week (Monday, March 18)
You know, I keep thinking it’s almost Spring, and then Mother Nature keeps throwing snow (or rain, or hail, or weird stuff falling from the sky) my way. Did I miss the memo? Is mid-March still winter? I thought the first day of Spring already happened! Isn’t it almost April? I guess that only signifies that showers are on the way…do I really have to wait until May to see the flowers? Sigh. Have you seen any signs of Spring lately or are we all in this winter wonderland together?
Let’s forget the weather for a while (is there anything more boring that blogging about the weather? I’m so sorry everyone, please forgive me…) and focus on your funny tweets, because as always there were some great ones this week. Onward, through the snow!
Have you heard about this art exhibit centered around a library of unborrowed #books? Intrigued enough to go see it? bit.ly/15JYV1a

YES! Yes I am intrigued! Who wants to go to this exhibit let’s go right now!
Yes! On it. RT @scrappinmichele Today is “Organize Your Home Office Day,” Does your office need a good cleaning? I know mine does!!! — Coast2CoastMom (@c2cmom) March 12, 2013
Mine does too…can I still do it even if I missed “Organize Your Home Office Day”? Mine is a work office, not a home office, so maybe I’m okay!
Resisting the urge to post yet another picture of fresh-out-of-the-oven bread, because I know that gets boring. But I’m just so proud! — SelfishMom (@SelfishMom) March 12, 2013
I dunno about the rest of you, but I would never say no to a photo of fresh-out-of-the-oven bread…I mean I might beg you to deliver it to our offices and perch it on my messy desk, but that would be fine, right??
@nymetroparents ONE thing? Surely you jest. I guess the one thing I must do today is cross off every single item on my 2-page to-do list : ) — Dawn Roode Campanile (@DawnRoode) March 13, 2013
Sigh, that’s our editorial director, Wonder Woman Extraordinaire, crossing every single item off her 200+ page to-do lists every day. Dawn, is it awkward when we — by which I mean, me — gush about you via Twitter? I just have a really great boss, y’all.
Happy #PiDay! It’s 3.14, the first three digits of the number pi. Here’s how we celebrated greening.queenslibrary.org/blog/celebrati…. twitter.com/QueensLibrary/… — Queens Library (@QueensLibrary) March 14, 2013
It was so fun to see what all our followers did for #PiDay on Twitter…personally we ate a lot a of pie. That seemed like a great way to celebrate.
As I sit here in my winter coat and 2 layers of clothing, I’m dreaming about #traveling. — Onica {MommyFactor} (@MommyFactor) March 15, 2013
I’m with you, as evidenced by my opening paragraph about the weather! Where are you dying to go??
I seem to be complaining on twitter a lot!Need to knock that off!Sorry tweeps!
— Elizabeth Norton (@ElizabethNorton) March 18, 2013
Hey, if you can’t complain to your tweeps, who can you complain to?!
“Cutting out the arts means we are cutting out the subjects that cause children to think for themselves” @tattedmom81 su.pr/1UACvW

AMEN. Such an important topic.
I love how you order one pharaoh’s head on Amazon and then they email you everyday as if you need 453 MORE.
— The Next Martha (@TheNextMartha) March 18, 2013
What, you don’t need 453 more Pharaoh’s heads?
My daughter just bribed my son to do something by letting him borrow a scarf. I can’t wait until he’s old enough to shoe shop with me.

Ha, both kids sound adorable! I wish I could bribe anyone in my life by loaning out my scarves…I find myself bargaining in cupcakes though, so maybe I’ve still got it easy.
And with that folks I’m heading off into the snowy slushy evening…be sure to send your hilarious tweets my way and I’ll be back to do it all over again next week! Maybe by then I’ll see some signs of Spring.
