For Maggie


Planting schedule

I made up a planting schedule for myself for this year's garden.I am already behind schedule, I don't have a space cleared or the sun to grow anything but here I go again! I am determined sun or no sun I am squeezing something edible out of my tiny yard.

Grammar Nerds


Yes you know who you are :) . I surround myself with grammar nerds who have pet peeves about poor spelling and grammar usage . I find this ironic in a way because a lot of you follow my blog (and I even married a spelling bee champ). I probably would be a grammar nerd too if I had the type of brain that worked in the realm of spelling and grammar but I don't so I simply do not see it. It usually makes me giggle to see people's reactions (but sometimes not). I am a highly educated person who is very intelligent, I just don't know where to put that damn coma! For anyone out there who regularly has to find appropriate synonyms because spell check has "no suggestions found" to the word you are trying to spell, or use a word completely wrong because spell check put in a word that looks right but is not the word you wanted, I want you to know you are not alone, you too can succeed in a world of grammar nerds. We simply need to band together and stand up for our rights as the highly educated grammatically challenged minority. Put a coma where ever you feel could use one, and use way to many exclamation points to overcompensate to make them squirm!!! Wheeee!!!!!!!! exclamation points are fun!!!!!!!! :)
(because studying endless grammar books and spending hours proof reading 5 line e-mails before you send them has not worked so far)
