Guess what? Twitter is sexy and these guys are the proof.
When I announced my Top 5 Sexiest Twitter Dudes last January, the blog post flattered many of the men on the ist and while most of them are still tweeting and definitely sexy as all hell, there are other men who have dethrowned them and will now take a seat on my list of the Top 10 Sexiest Twitter Dudes.
If you don’t think there’s anything sexy about Twitter – think again. As I wrote in my Top 5 Sexiest Twitter Dudes post, “people don’t just like Twitter because of the information we can share and the friendships we can form – the place is also a gigantic flirtatious chat room.”
Think about it. We all flirt every day in the flesh – why not on Twitter?
If you’re new to Twitter and want to find out how to get the most of your time check out my post for Twitter Virgins or Twirgins. And if you’re not on Twitter yet – you will besign up (takes a few seconds) and start following these guys.

Full disclosure. Brad is one of my best friends and now a business partner but he is also one of the sexiest guys on Twitter. If you want proof, check out my tattoo video for evidence. Remember? He was the guy with me. I also follow Brad on Twitter because he’s my primary source for all news about Wordpress, SEO and blogging, if there’s anything new or up and coming in he tells me about it first. Without him I’m not sure where I would be and he’s absolutely adorable. Follow Brad on Twitter.
9. @Jack
He helped to create Twitter and that’s hot. The ultimate Twitter bad boy, Jack Dorsey has over 1,000,000 followers so the odds of him ever giving you the time of day are slim to none. He also happens to be sexy as hell, as clearly displayed by his avatar up there along with the pictures he often tweets. And did I mention that he had a big hand in creating Twitter? Now that’s sexy.

My first memory is of toddling behind my mother along a dark hiking trail somewhere out West.
I must have been about Benjamin’s age.
A few hours earlier we had all split up. My father and some of my other siblings stayed on top of the trail while my mom and the rest of us went in. And now we were completely and utterly lost. In the quickly fading light all we had seen were the yellow buffalo crossing signs. Soon we spotted a road. We waited until a car drove by, flagged it down and hitched a ride back to the parking lot where my frantic father was waiting.
Some say your first vivid memory defines your personality.
Does this mean I’m lost? Or afraid? Sounds familiar.
But I’m finding my way. I’m finding it through the eyes of my son, the most amazing thing that could ever happen to someone fearful of love is finding someone who loves you unconditionally. And through him I’m learning how to let someone love me.
On our trip we didn’t get lost. Not once.
And all along the way I couldn’t help but wonder which one of the memories will be his first.
Seeing his first plane
or riding on one?
Or will it be his second flight when the raisin snacks from the first flight gave him a vicious poop attack? (Thanks mommy). Poor kid was screaming his brains out. Luckily the nice man sitting next to us was beyond accommodating. [click to continue…]
And this question really hit home for me. I have had quite a few toxic friendships in my days and yes, breaking up with a woman is a helluva lot harder than dumping a dude. Check this out.
Do you have toxic friendships? It’s critical for us single moms to only keep good friends in our lives. Anyone who drains, strains or just makes you feel yucky needs to go – no matter what the reason.

Speaking of friends (not toxic ones). Morgan is on her way up for a weekend visit with Lucca. Can’t wait! And still can’t believe she’s so close.
And Benjamin and I are just one week away from our trip to California.
If you haven’t already – save the date for our play date in Los Angeles with Matt & Maddy. I also just found out that Rebecca Woolf (Girl’s Gone Child) is coming. Needless to say I am freaking out. Rebecca is like the blogging world’s Angelina Jolie – yeah, she’s that cool.
Good times with good (non-toxic) friends in the very near future. And no toxic cigarettes will be a part of the equation.
We’ll be at Shane’s Inspiration playground (Griffith Park). Word has it there’s a carousel. Just bring yourselves and your kids. And you don’t have to be a single parent or even a parent to show up – everyone is invited.
When: March 1st, 2009 – 3:00 – 5:30 p.m. What: Just a fun get together Where: Shane’s Inspiration, Griffith Park – Los Angeles (directions) Who: Single parents or not, everyone is welcome
If you missed Matt and Maddy on the Rachel Ray show, here’s a clip.
Okay. I know. I can’t click these heels and be delivered from evil, but…
they make me feel like I could.
They’re amazing. My dream flats. And they were only $17.99 at Target. This picture doesn’t do them justice, just wanted you to know they’re on sale this week — because they won’t last. And no, Target didn’t pay me to say that…
There is no place like home, but I need to get out of here – for longer than 48 hours.
This time I’m taking Benjamin with me. We’re going out to California at the end of the month to hide away from the world in Joshua Tree National Park (no offense world, but you can be annoying and those Joshua Trees look pretty cool).
This will be our first vacation together and Benjamin’s first flight.
I am still in awe that we are even able to do this – to take a vacation. Financially speaking such a thing would have been absolutely impossible a few years ago. I found some incredibly cheap tickets though and we’re renting a place outside of the park. Rather than shopping or paying for a hotel, we’ll be hiking and eating packed lunches.
Aside from persuading the coyotes to adopt Benjamin into their pack, I’ll be trying to find a pet lizard for him and maybe even a cactus or two. Oh, and I’ll be completely unhooked from the internet – a very good thing.
On my last day, we’ll be heading back to Los Angeles to meet up with that Matt guy for a picnic and you’re all invited! I’m super excited about it but can’t tell you where yet — but I can tell you it will be in the afternoon on March 1st. So save the date. More details soon.
And because the economy sucks and wallets are tight – the Liz Logelin Foundation, a charity for widows and widowers with young children- has set up an easy way for you to donate. Get over there and check it out. At the very least, join his Facebook Group and spread the word to your friends.
In other news…
Morgan Siler, aka Modern Single Momma, a very dear blogging friend of mine has arrived in Kentucky with her man and her son. Visit her blog to see pictures of their road trip all the way from Portland.
Not sure who is coming to see who yet but I can’t even believe she’s living so close to me now. And we were both mentioned in this article in the Chicago Tribune today. It’s actually an excellent piece on being a dating single parent. You should definitely check that out.
And I’m about to attempt to make a tuna casserole for my little Benjamin. Wish me luck. Phew.
What a messy post. Hope you got something out of that.
For a little play date.
