Hello and welcome to my favorite thing about Mondays, which is highlighting all you witty adorable hilarious humans in our weekly Tweet Beat. On Friday it was National S’mores Day and I thought it was going to rain all weekend and then it didn’t, so I’m actually in a great mood. Let’s talk about some other people who are in good moods, namely, you via your tweets.
