$19.95 . . .AND an EMAIL from your MOTHER!!
Well, ok. Not YOUR mother . . .MY mother. aka The Grammar Guru!
Yes . . .my delightful, unassuming, gentile, gracious mother felt it was best for the blogosphere at large that I correct a few *ahem* mistakes.
Well, ok.
One.
One mistake.
Change T H I E R to T H E I R.
Seems I have a little habit of mispelling that word.
Then there is my GilGuy - He felt compelled to inform me a few days ago that my punctuation when working with quotes was incorrect.
I DEMAND A RE-READ! WHERE IS MY ENGLISH TEACHER, Luella Sedivy?
Humph! There is only one answer to all of this! It's time for a little PUNCT-uation! PUN-PUN-PUN-PUNCT-uation!
Ah. *sigh.*
There. I feel much better now.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled blog-cast.

Love you, Mom! :)

I saw that too, but since I'm not one for casting the first stone and all...
;)
You're killing us, dear! Will you please finish the story already!? At the rate you're going, Keller is going to be a teenager before we know how everything turned out! ;P
*sigh*
Who asked for commercials? I don't pay attention to those things... Writing is an expression of one's thoughts... so who cares if they can't spell their or thier - she probably shouldn't be homeschooling her kids... they'll be messed up for life... ;)
Keller is CUTE!!! I can't believe how he looks just like Gil! Wow. Does he have the same Gil mannerisms?
Would this be a bad time to tell you to remove the apostrophe from "mother's" at the end?
*ducks and runs*
Hey, you look beautiful today! :D
BWAHAAAHAAA! T, Ang . . .I'm humbled that you'd even notice.
[said Angi innocently, making mental note to install spell check, grammar check, and use them regularly!]
LOLOLOL
It's an unfortunate OCD/perfection issue I have with myself :D
It could be worse. You COULD have to live with me!
