Background information: I have been blogging for over a year now. While most of my friends and family have been subjected to reading this blog, one person has refused. That person is my husband, blog-Stedman.
I got the phone call.
The phone call I had been expecting for some time, but it still caught me off guard.
Hello?
Hi. I have been reading your blog…
*freeze*
*act natural!*
Oh, really?
Yes. I didn’t know you liked to play games with people in elevators.
Ya, I guess that isn’t something someone easily works into conversation. I have been telling you that you might learn something about me if you read the blog.
I don’t want to learn anything! I live your blog.
*change the subject!*
So what are you reading?
I was trying to find pictures of Rhett dressed as a chicken to show some people at work. I figured you would have those on your blog.
*insert Holly’s instructions on how to use lijit search box to right here*
*mention Chicken of the Week*
Thanks. The blog is funny. You write a lot of stuff.
Thanks.
But I can’t read it. It drives me crazy. I can’t take it.
Can’t take WHAT? I have left off your image or anything negative about you! You are often the hero of the story!
It isn’t that. It is your grammar. And the misspellings. And the messed up capitalization. You need an editor.
YOU are my editor, but you have refused to read the blog!
Good point.
I thought I was doing pretty well. I mean I write A LOT OF STUFF! Tell me what is wrong. I will go fix it when I get home. That is the beauty of the blog…it can be changed, updated, edited at a later date. It isn’t like a printed page that can’t be changed! I need your help.
Well, I did write out this list…
And so dear reader, the Nirvana archives are undergoing an overhaul. I am listening to blog-Stedman. I may even give him a peek before I hit publish if he is feeling strong enough to handle all my mistakes…
hey there. this post is hilarious, as always!! 🙂 My hubby doesn’t read my blog… and i guess i wouldn’t mind so much if he did… but he is critical of what i would type and how i would type it and all that… but not in a constructive way like Blog-Stedman. 🙂 i think your blog is fine… but then again i just read it… i’m not checking out the grammer speling or HOW OFTN U USE CAPITALS!!! or YOUR!! punkUATION!!??……. LOL 😛
keep up the good work!!!

I think you do a great job without an editor.
Oh, NO!!!! My husband is a writer, too (a far better one than I.) I DO NOT allow him to read my posts before hand and never let him edit them. This is all MINE. He does once in a while, try to alter something and I just tell him to get his own damn blog. And, I also wish I had kept it anonymous. I have some crazy ass family I’d love to write about!
My husband refuses to read my blog, too! But not from any aversion to copy editing errors. I think he’s afraid. His secretary reads it, and tells him (selectively, I think) what’s on it.
No, No, No, I like it the way it is. I have not noticed any mistakes. Does that say something about my grammer abilities. Was any of this grammatically correct??? Hav eye mispeled anithang????
Edit Schmedit, who needs it? Well, maybe some commenters (myself especially). It is you, and what is wrong with that.
If you make mistakes like I do on my blog (misspelling daughter’s middle name comes to mind), it’s good to have a once over by a loved one. Especially if they add snarky comments for everyone to see. 🙂
Rambling over now, back to your regularly scheduled sane comments.
Oh crap, i dread the day my phone call comes.
Tell me it isn’t so…….hide all the red pens.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! Hands! Off! (smack. smack.)
Don’t change a single word. And this is a professional opinion from an 11-year PROFESSIONAL copy editor.
Back away from the archives B.S. (no pun intended).
Em
That’s why you should always screen your calls.
