Apr 20 Spring TwitterPosted by coffeemates | 04/20/09
I’ve joined Twitter and have been playing around with it. I’m enjoying “tweeting” as it’s quick, easy and fun. You find out what people are doing in 140 characters at a time.
I’ve started to follow friends’ tweets in the UK and around the U.S. as well as celebrities I admire. The name Twitter comes from the name given to the chirping sounds of birds or light chattering. I thought the word was appropriate for my spring update. New technology is great as here I am in middle Tennessee communicating with you in the Capital District, New York and beyond...

Coffee MatesSUSAN S. CHEUNG (known to many as Shifay--Chinese middle name.) Welcome to my world. I'm a resident from across the pond who lives in the Capital District. For 13 years, I was all about my career and being successful. Becoming a mother twice in my mid- to late-30s made me take stock. Now my life is a hectic whirl of being a stay-at-home mom of two young children. I face the challenges of being a woman, an older mother, a non-American and a short person! Fortunately, I'm rescued from making too many faux pas by my coffee group (my mates)-- a great bunch of women in different situations of life. We meet in the guise of drinking coffee, but really it's about keeping our sanity intact. My blog is my take on the daily issues that affect us. My aim is to shine a light on the everyday things we take for granted. Come and be part of my coffee group and join in the conversations. POSTSCRIPT: As of JULY 2008, after eight years in Guilderland, we've relocated to Nashville, Tenn., to experience Grand Ole Opry, southern hospitality and my husband’s exciting new job. Read my "Coffee Mates" posts in 2009/2010 on acclimating to southern culture.SubscribeEmail Archives |
