(Please read with a heavy dose of sarcasm. I say this only because Beckie is right: It is difficult to convey sarcasm in a blog!)
Had I realized that the intent of these blogs was to show off our ability to use proper grammar and punctuation, etc. I certainly would not have posted as many things as I did. I would have spent a great deal of time on each entry, perhaps editing it in a word processor, before including them here. I would have my husband read each post to help me find errors before posting. As it is, however, I don't have the time to spend perfecting each writing sample. Therefore, you get my thoughts as they come out. Sometimes my fingers hit a wrong letter, sometimes I use an incorrect word, and sometimes . . . I add . . . lots of extra . . . dots!! (etc.)
So if you would like to continue hearing about my family, my life and my thoughts, I will continue to post in my regular manner, though I will be mildly more cautious about my punctuation and spelling. If, however, you are looking for a literary work with no errors of any kind, let me know . . . I'll e-mail you when I post one in a few years!
Love!!!!

You said I could bother you all I want. You are not my only victim! I harass random bloggers at will.
Love,

ps: I was going to tell you it's "defense" but it seems you are being british today!
You know, I always manage to spell British with two "t"s. And it should be capitalized, shouldn't it? But Sandie, I completely agree. I often go back to my blog and notice some poorly constructed sentence, words missing their final letters or some worse transgression that I just can't believe I let pass. But, when you're busy and trying to keep up with a million things, you do the best you can and hope for forgiveness from your readers. I don't mind the errors!!!!
Love you lots.
Yes, British should be capitalized! Shame on me. I use the preview function to change the look of the words and make them more noticable, then give it a reread and edit appropriately. Whenever I skip this step, I always notice some glaringly obvious error. I can't stand that!
