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…
I’ve had that same conversation with my husband, except without the elevator reference. It is definitely uncomfortable.
My husband only reads my blog to see if he’s mentioned. As long as he doesn’t see his name, I don’t hear a peep out of him.
Thanks for dropping by mt blog. I’m glad the election talk is over, too. Back to my regularly scheduled programming! 🙂
I just came across your blog today – and really enjoyed it!
Check out mine too 😉
Oh…tell him no more correcting or he sleeps on the couch!
And don’t you have a diorama to work on???
Yikes! El Jefe reads mine from time to time…silly me…I encouraged him way back when I started!
I love your blog…always have.
Hugs!
Don’t do it!!!
What would we do without the CAPS, the …..’s, the silliness???
He might edit it all out!
I like the way your blog is sort of stream of consciousness…not too stuffy.
Blessings.
Oh, that is hilarious. My husband says the same thing: that he lives the blog, therefore he cannot read it. But, on the rare occasions that he does read he is usually quick to pipe in that “it didn’t really happen exactly that way.” He has threatened to start his own behind the scenes full disclosure version of “Always Wanted Four…” Again, I’m all, “you wouldn’t DARE!” Besides, people do not want every single detail: they want a story. If it doesn’t fit in my (version of the) story: it gets axed! (The joys of being your own editor! :))
Had to happen, Miss Holly. The long fingers of the MAN have reached into your blog….
I’m glad he (and his long fingers) is finally reading the damn thing… sheez.
If I let the hubby edit my blog I would probably have to remove half of it and all of the funny Mormon stories would be lost!
tell you dh if he wants to edit something, go do his own blog and leave you alone to do your very funny one! :>
Better late than never on B.S. reading your words?
I recently asked DH (Deer Hunter) if he saw my blog. Him: “Um, no, you flushed before I got in there.”
What can ya say?
Have my Holly-inspired “drawerings” up today, so drop by if you get a chance. 🙂
