This has been an interesting week, to say the least:
1.
My Twitter Account was suspended. And I have no idea why. I’m still waiting to hear from Twitter support.
2.
I “met” Mayim Bialik at her book signing. And when I say met I really mean: I asked her a question during the Q and A portion of her talk (Why is attachment parenting seen as something only persons of privilege can attain and why are AP parents accused of being “better-than-you?”) and I took a picture with her after asking if she used hormonal birth control. (Short answer: No. But you’ll love the longer answer… maybe.)
3.
Here’s the pic of me with Dr. Bialik and her scary bodyguard in the background.
4.
My Beatitudes series started this past Sunday with a double post by Katie and Christina. If you haven’t checked it out yet, be sure you do.
5.
Change is a hard thing to do and it’s even harder when old friends (who knew you before the change) tell you that it’s hard for them too. But what makes it better is when those same friends tell you that despite your being a different person than what they remember, they still love you.
6.
We all crave acceptance. That is just human nature.
7.
If my Twitter account indeed is gone forever… I’ll need some brainstorming for a new user name. PITA.

I’d love to hear her answer
It’s a bummer about twitter, that does seem very strange. I wonder what triggered it. I’d be willing to bet Twitter will be no help, either. We’ve had to deal with them on some things for work – they’re not bending over backward to fix issues, in my experience.
Btw, I know it’s not your thing, but I gave you an award. http://imperfectkate.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/id-like-to-thank-the-academy/
Your number 5 really hits home for me. Despite still having professed love, though, I still find the obviously tense silence and irregular contact with my older friends to be really disheartening.
Oh, and I would ALSO love to hear Mayim’s answer!
I’ll be paraphrasing her answer in a future post. Only because I forgot to ask her if I could quote her!
@ #5…yes, and when said changes occur years after marriage that can be difficult for both people. Thank goodness for hubbies who embrace growth and change.
here, here! I think it really speaks to God’s design in finding our mates. Because if my DH wasn’t meant for me, I am sure he would NOT be so understanding of my conversion.
I’d love to hear her longer answer as well!
I hope something gets worked out with your twitter account soon. A friend of mine got suspended last week for tweeting too many links. But she wasn’t really tweeting that many … it was really weird.
I’m wondering if that is what it was. I had my Twitter and FB linked and there have been quite a few great links out there in the past few days, so I am thinking that even though I was commenting on the links, there was not enough “original content.”
I had a geek out moment when I realized that’s Amy from Big Bang Theory!
I would also love to hear the long answer!
I just met her last weekend, too! She’s adorable and I enjoyed her book, too. Glad you thought to ask her about BC, I was thinking about that afterwards.
