Weekly Twitter Wrap

I had some major Celebrity/Athlete lust as I read through tweets this week. It's like the lifestyles of the rich and famous around here. Being a great athlete can really take you places (literally) and expose you to amazing adventures. I am wishing I had be hit a little harder with the talent stick....

@Venuseswilliams (Venus Williams): Omg I have to travel 17 hours to get back to the states. Then another 8 to fla, then 2 hrs to drive from miami to palm beach. Do the math! ... Jet lag and my dog keeps stealing my pillow!

@Chold1 (Chamique Holdsclaw): In Istanbul had so much fun at party. Chill with J.R holden my favorite player for CSKA Russia. He never misses.

@liz_hatch (Liz Hatch): Off to meet friends and see my dad's band play. Wondering if I should even bother to sleep 2nite. 4AM wakeup call, going to Cabo San Lucas

@rebeccalobo (Rebecca Lobo): Climbed Camelback mountain today with @carolynpeck and Heather Cox. Peck took some photos. I need to teach her how to use twitpic.

@nliukin (Nastia Liukin): JUST DROVE RIGHT NEXT TO THE QUEEN!!!!


This, however, is probably my favorite tweet of the week:

@yoderbegley: locked out last night, climbed to 2nd story balcony & taught yorkie how to remove safety bar on sliding glass door & got in! smart puppy

I mean, really? And continuing on the dog theme:

@Venuseswilliams (Venus Williams): I always get so many questions about harry my dog. He is a Havanese. He travels with me everywhere. Serena is always trying to kidnap him!

@ShawneyJ (Shawn Johnson): Lmao ou to dinner with the rents... We've somehow manage to get into a convo about if u were a dog what breed would u be hahaha


Some random tweets that made me laugh:

@KeriHerman (Keri Herman ): Im gtting a tat, fuck

@ MissChantelle (Chantelle Anderson): Is it just me, or r 80% of the ppl in the "ppl u may know" on Facebook ppl that I do know, but I deliberately choose not 2 b friends with?

@MsAkiba (Akiba McKinney): To get things done RIGHT sometimes you have to be a JACKBUTT! just imagine if people DO as much as they TALK about what they gonna DO... (What's a jackbutt?)

@jfinch27 (Jennie Finch): Dear Lord, please get the Diego theme song out of my head asap! Thanks!

@joannahayes1223 (Joanna Hayes): I just saw a squirel get hit bar a car! His little tail was just flapping around...i really dislike squirels but it was kinda sad : (

Wait, that last one should not have made me laugh...

And one final thought:

@MissChantelle (Chantelle Anderson): Wondering now that I'm not officially an athlete anymore, if people will stop caring what I have to say...hmmm. Guess we'll see. (Well I guess the answer is yes)
