The day my husband joined Twitter.

I don’t know how I feel about this. And in fact, he didn’t even tell me he did; I found out on my own by checking recent followers.

Turns out, he saw all the fun I had tweeting away during the Super Bowl, and decided to sign up.

Ya know, I’ve convinced a lot of people to join Twitter. I’ve helped a lot of people get the hang of Twitter. But I’ve never unintentionally tempted anyone with the wild nights of fun one can have on Twitter.

Turns out I possess powers I didn’t even know I had.

{Yeah right!}

So any of you who are so inclined, his handle is @CraigJostes.

And with the publication of this post, my life will never be the same.

Maddie was thinking, “This will get a ton of action on Pinterest!” (Recipes and crafts are so last-week.)

And Angela Amman with this one:

“I think you’ve got the stuffed animal frat house going on! Keg stands all around.”

    Will he be tweeting fondant tips? I could really use them.

    As one of your fellow convincees (no, not a real word), I am especially glad to welcome Craig into the fold.

      Ha! I need to ask him about that! He could start using a hash for it, too. #Fondant

    LOL I have not encouraged my Hubby to join twitter. He already reads my blog, if he joined twitter, then he would know everything i’m thinking!

      I don’t know that I like this. But we’ll see how often he actually tweets.

    Yeah, I was gonigto say yesterday, now you can never complain about your husband on Twitter again. That’s the problem I run into — of course, that’as what Hey Tell is for, as you can ask the lovely KLZ. Kelsey tweets about sports and retweets stuff. He’s following way more than follow him and it’s mostly celebrities and sports figures, which makes 0 sense. He likes to use Twitter to scoop me on things. He rarely responds, but maybe if he has another blog husband to talk to he will :)

    Too funny. Luckily my husband still doesn’t have twitter and I’m hoping it stays that way!

    That’s awesome. I shared this with my hubby and he said I shouldn’t worry, he’ll never join! We’ll see about that…

    Just tell him to tweet Instagram pics of his “metro” ness, k? ;-P

    p.s. My husband sent me a DM recently since that was the only way he thought he could get in touch with me about our afternoon schedule. He was kinda right… ha!

    Husbands on Twitter are cute…

    Mine has been on forever…he never tweets, just tweet stalks me. Nothing is safe, I tell you.

      I think that’s the worst! No tweeting, just stalking!

    You’re so brave!
    I try to keep the fun I have on there to myself so that my hubs will stay off!

    So will he be instagramming photos on how to shave legs without getting razor burn?

    Oh I would die if my hubby joined. He is such a smart a*s but he would provide a lot of good content :) I’ll have to follow your hubby!

    Good luck with that! Every time my hubs looks at my twitters stream he says, “I don’t get it. All I see are a bunch of symbols.” I think I’m safe for awhile.

    Dave joined when I did years ago. To tell you the truth I joined before I started blogging because I was stalking Dave Matthews. My Dave doesn’t tweet anymore, and funny neither does Dave Matthews. Oh well, they don’t know what they are missing!

    My hubby (also Craig!) joined Twitter just after I did because I talked about it so much. I think he’s signed in three times since. Your Craig will hopefully not be bothered to sign in much either!

    Please tell me he’s tweeting recipes. And running tips. I’m off to follow now!

    I will for sure be following Craig.

    You know. For grooming tips, and the like.

    Thanks also for the Starbucks card! Maddie’s mind ROCKS!

    Godspeed, my friend.

    Rob swears he’ll never join Twitter – recently he asked me “What do you TALK about there?”. But! He has stalked me once or twice that I’m aware of, so…I don’t want to think about what would happen if he were actually a member.

    Of course I have to follow him now otherwise I’ll only see half of the twitter fun.

    My husband was the one that convinced me to join twitter. He wanted me to, so I would post a link to my blog so everything he wanted to read would be in one spot. :)

    Fabulous. Now I can just tweet him for all cake-related advice I might need!

    Oh, I think it’ll be fine.

    For me, not so good.

    My husband is very VERY conservative…he’d faint if he saw what I tweeted.

    I think you two will have fun.

    Hee! Love it, Liz! My husband just pseudo joined, too. He follows me, Stephen Colbert, and Barack Obama and complains that I tweet too many girlie things. Oy.

    (Welcome Craig!)
