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…
May the force be with you!
I’m not sure my hubby could find my blog (thank God) not that I have written anything about him…(that I have published)
Still, that was really funny and I hope you don’t let him change Too much!
My husband reads my blog DAILY.
I think it makes him feel big to see his name online.
I’m just lucky that his grammer and speling is worser than mine!
no! no husbands allowed. oh, that sounds bad. my husband, thank god, has taken no interest in my blogging whatsoever….
Editor Shmeditor! My husband has no idea what I’m up to over here… I think he thinks I’m chatting with his replacement I met over at eHarmony.
Is your husband, my husband? Seriously, does he have a double life as a middle school math teacher in Indiana? Because my husband would do the same thing. If I want something edited, he is my go to guy. Always. I always make grammar and spelling mistakes and then miss them on my read through. But, he reads slowly enough to catch every single one. But, even though he knows about my blog, I don’t think he has been reading because I haven’t got this phone call… yet.
I think the beauty of blogging is in the imperfection. We aren’t professional writers here. Well, some of us are but that is not my point.
I think the ability to publish your words and touch other people is beautiful. Editing be damned. (I could use an editor too. I barely self edit. Oh well.)
why is it that the people who actually know us in real life are the least likely to be willing to read our blogs. And we can’t even post embarrassing stories about them(rich material too) because someday we will get ‘the call’.
Hee-Larious!
But remember, sometimes the best stuff ends up on the editing room floor!
Yay Blog Steadman!! Jeff reads my blogs AND all the comments…he even said that one Weekly Winners set of pics must not have been that good because I didn’t get more than 1 comment. Notice I don’t do the WW anymore? Yeah. Thanks for the helpful comment lovey 🙂
