    @RoseRed_Shoes While wearing shitkickers, you have an obligation to kick shit, you know.


    @Helen__H Exciting! Take pics!!


    I bought an Internet-enabled set of bathroom scales today. WTF is wrong with me. This is Quantified Self MADNESS.


    @pixel8ted I strongly considered it but went with Fitbit Aria as I already have their One tracker and like the app/website.


    Haven’t felt like myself for 2 months. Coincidentally the length of time at new job, and also when I started new drugs. Too many variables.


    @witty_knitter I don’t plan on it actually tweeting my weight. I do have some limits.


    @witty_knitter Not ruling it out though. We’ll see. It’s less about privacy (I don’t care) and more about spamming you all. ๐Ÿ™‚


    @randomknits You’ll just get a kidney stone. That’s what the Snook always tells me.


    @knitterjp @witty_knitter The Internet is not actually the point. It’s the connectivity that allows it to sync with the tracking app I use.


    I do love a good “Eat the rich” flame war before dinner… http://t.co/GjQFILtrLR

    Gave myself one more day at home to recover from cold. Sadly, the Snook says I can’t watch Arrested Development without him. ๐Ÿ™


    RT @johnallsopp: Yes. Oh yes. http://t.co/jOwDoNko81 // Agree 100%. One of my pet peeves.


    RT @designsponge: And with this, I am back in love with Taylor Swift: http://t.co/ZshiF7g7iE // cc @RandomKnits @drkknits


    RT @PeterHabib: Finally the REAL news: @JuliaGillard loves Game of Thrones PM tells @GuardianAus. FYI PM I’m a fan of Jon Snow. http://t.coโ€ฆ


    RT @BlueDropAwards: Best Political Website: http://t.co/GrG0Bhm278 by @Sitback // Hey, I worked on that! A lot! Woo!

    Now I know where to get crocodile tail fillets, in case my Dad ever comes to visit. @ Establishment 218 http://t.co/5f2K25NxJv


    @misswired The Snook isn’t a big fan of croc, so we gave it a pass in favour of beef cheeks.


    Managed to leave the house for two hours to drive SheldonSnook to meats and Bunnings. And now I’m going to collapse again…

    Basket weaving class reluctantly cancelled. Now sniffling on the couch while @the_snook makes me brekkie.


    Today: sleep, eat, blow nose. Repeat.


    @ronshedgehogs It’s just karmic retribution for stealing one of the Hunt legs last night from @the_elmerfudds. Luke cursed me, clearly.


    11 hours’ sleep and I still feel like death. It’s a good thing we cancelled that knitting outing, @drkknits. ๐Ÿ™

    The Mike & Bruce Hunt 2013 begins! (@ Welcome Hotel) http://t.co/t66JOobMGi


    @MandBH2013 Columbian Hit Squad, checking in!


    @MandBH2013 OI! There are THREE bun stuffers! Check our photo!


    Team captain @Moodman116 looking dictatorial. #mandbh2013 http://t.co/tTxVDshNkC


    My teammates are drinking me under the table! (@ The Sackville Hotel) http://t.co/TRwqekmGSM


    @Jimmysangels @MandBH2013 We think @the_elmerfudds are big cheaterheads!


    I’m at Cat & Fiddle -Rozelle http://t.co/7ZsU8lS0ce


    Stop #3! (@ The Riverview Hotel) http://t.co/5iBQo3c93X


    @the_elmerfudds We ran REALLY fast!


    Columbian Hot Squad is @Moodman116. We knew the Dawn Fraser connection. Did anybody else?? #mandbh2013


    Abandoning #mandbh2013. Best of luck to the remaining teams!!


    The few, the proud, the Columbian Hit Squad. #mandbh2013 @MandBH2013 @cjtweet65 @Moodman116 http://t.co/hOA48ycIJu


    TIL: when competing in a treasure hunt, it’s rather bad form when all the other teams arrive soaking wet & your team is conspicuously dry.


    @the_ppps By which you mean DEVILISHLY CLEVER AND PRESCIENT.


    @the_elmerfudds We were so charmed by the venue we didn’t notice the downpour outside. FOILED!


    @the_elmerfudds Maybe they are already at the end!!


    @MandBH2013 I TOTALLY KNEW IT WOULD END IN DICKS!!


    @the_elmerfudds You came second because you didn’t get to the Sackville in time. Clearly.


    Not good. I’m meant to be going to basket weaving in two hours. Instead I’ve woken up with the onset of a terrible cold. ๐Ÿ™


    @drkknits I haven’t been sick in well over a year. A couple weeks of stress and poor eating though… ๐Ÿ™

    @nolim1t @misswired Why LOL? ๐Ÿ˜› But yes, of course!


    @MandBH2013 I didn’t get it!!


    @knitterjp @GGDSydney Yes – on my way now!


    Girl Geek Dinner! (@ 321 Kent Street w/ @misswired) http://t.co/IW8CgErTCE


    We had to list our dream job. I said TV show host. Someone else in my group said my actual job. o_O #ggdsyd


    Very impressed to hear about Suncorp’s female CIO. #ggdsyd


    @VenessaHunt Haha, I meant my title, not my actual position. ๐Ÿ™‚


    Lisa Phillips talking about empowerment. Realisation: I haven’t been feeling very empowered lately. #ggdsyd


    Suncorp values diversity, because “diversity drives innovation.” Hell yeah. #ggdsyd


    I do love a presentation that includes arts and crafts. #ggdsyd http://t.co/Z7ibb3pSjy


    “Think about gamification. You know what you probably didn’t think about? Superannuation.” HA! #ggdsyd


    @misswired Yes, we had it as our team name. We were ducks. ๐Ÿ™‚


    As usual, I think I was way too loud and annoying at #ggdsyd. I blame @knitterjp for giving me too many beers.


    @drkknits Ugh. Parents.


    @drkknits ๐Ÿ˜›


    Best part of #ggdsyd tonight: sharing a toast to the hotness of Alexander Skarsgard with an actual Swedish person.


    @knitterjp You are a BAD INFLUENCE! ๐Ÿ˜›
