  9. @SarahMMcCoy The Code of the Woosters is a wonderful place to start. I think Penelope Lively and I share the same agent. (Name drop!) about 9 hours ago via Echofon in reply to SarahMMcCoy
  10. @SarahMMcCoy POSSIBLY THE BEST HASHTAG EVER. about 9 hours ago via Echofon in reply to SarahMMcCoy

  13. @michaelmagras Ah, you never know. I was going for a kind of Dali-meets-Hemingway vibe. about 11 hours ago via Echofon in reply to michaelmagras
  14. @michaelmagras Hah! Unlikely to see that in Missouri, frankly. about 12 hours ago via Echofon in reply to michaelmagras
  15. This is MY KIND OF LICENSE PLATE. ow.ly/i/EBTu about 13 hours ago via HootSuite
  16. @sarahmmccoy *takes notes* ... so, um, is "studly" interchangeable with "mazel tov", then? #twocountriesdividedbyacommonlanguage about 18 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to SarahMMcCoy
  17. @maddwriter Seriously, if you knew how fantastically inept I am at this sort of stuff... about 19 hours ago via Echofon in reply to maddwriter

  19. @Scupperlout Totally kidding about ironing my underwear, obviously. Like everyone else, I have it dry-cleaned. about 19 hours ago via Echofon
  20. @Scupperlout I could probably squeeze you in as soon as I've finished this mural, ironed my underwear, and re-wired the kitchen. #chores about 19 hours ago via Echofon
