I often like to tease my husband because his grammar...phew…it’s out there sometimes. He is such a talented writer and blogger, but I usually have to go through his posts and fix a ton of his grammar mistakes.
Let’s just say…apparently I flunked Grammar 101 too because I suck at editing.
I use to think I was decent.
Ahem.
I have had many readers point out otherwise. And truly, I am okay with that.
In fact, I appreciate when readers let me know of a typo or grammatical error. In a lot of cases the error is because 90% of the time I am in a hurry, but I can’t even claim to be perfect, a good amount of the time…I am just wrong.
My biggest grammar error (that I am aware of and STILL continue to do)…
AHHHHH! I do it EVERY time.
In fact, I recently did it on one of our Dollars and Roses posts.
Thank heavens for good neighbors who have my back. Thank you Kevin for helping me refrain from looking like a fool!
I find this facebook conversation to be humorous…
I think he just said I’m fired, didn’t you? You all read that too, right?ย
I’ve been dreaming of the day he would fire me so I could just go soak in some sun by the pool all day.
Ha!ย
Not really, but wouldn’t that be the life.
Maybe I should just continue to keep screwing up and he will actually say “You’re Fired” and mean it?
Bad strategy?
I think not.

He really aggravated me last night because my dad and I have been working really hard on a project {shocker} to spruce up the fireplace. When I asked him, “Do you like it?”…this is what he said…
“Yea, I like it BUT I can’t decide if the dark paint color behind the tv is making the tv look 3D and hurting my eyes.”
Uh, really dude?
REALLY????
I text my neighbor and told her what he said (because I knew she would have something witty to say and, in turn, make me feel better) and she said his response should have looked more like this…
“OMG! How’d y’all get ALL this done today? It looks great! I LOVE it!”
And then he can suffer with headaches and get glasses later.
I thought she was pretty dead on.
What is wrong with men? Don’t they know that when we ask them if they like something…never be honest! Geez.
Now excuse me while I go work in my new office {aka pool}…courtesy of being “fired” by the hubby on Monday. ๐ He should choose his words more carefully because women tend to take things for face value.
You say I’m fired.
Then I’m fired.
At least for today while it’s hot and sunny.
I promise…no pool boys.
Jenn says
Cracking up over here! I want to be fired too. Then can I come and lay out by your pool too? ๐
Katie Lake says
Serves him right. I think you should be “fired” for a week by the pool.
Anna says
That’s too funny! Hope you’ve had a fun pool day!
Cate says
I think I need to come by your “office” I might have some things to discuss with you. Haha! I can not wait to be hanging out by the pool.
Adrienne says
