Don’t talk to your husband in Twitterspeak…

by admin on May 3, 2010

…unless you want him to buy you jewelery.

It’s true. I was on a long distance call with my husband and actually spoke to him as if I were tweeting. This is what I said:

“You’re in Monte Carlo looking at the Mediterranean. I’m at a drive through Starbucks in Vista. #Ineedagoodmothersdaypresent”

And yes, I actually said “hashtag”, and had 17 character spaces to spare.

John was in Monaco for work. It felt like a long week for me already, but somehow those weeks feel even longer when you’re on the short end of the geography stick. The tweet just slipped out – I didn’t do it on purpose, my brain was thinking that way. He didn’t give me too much grief—and if anyone asks—that hashtag totally works.

We went shopping today for my 2nd Mother’s Day present. Last year I got to go pick out a piece of jewelry I wanted. This year he suggested we do the same. Both years I got Amethyst necklaces and this year’s is even prettier than the first. Plus, I got a fun pair of sparkly earrings too.

WARNING: Use that hashtag sparingly. And if you do give it a try, you might get lucky like I did. Just don’t forget to use the reciprocating hashtag #BHE (Best Husband Ever).

Not only would my husband look at me dumbfoundedly if I used a hashtag in conversation, he would not buy me jewelry, take me out to buy jewelry, or probably do anything in response to the request for a nice gift, just going to prove you not only have the BHE but you are one lucky girl. (And I’m just a wee bit jealous.)
