Monkling's Blog

Since I’ve only been doing this for a couple of months, I’ve been wondering about a few things. Do I have to post a brand new note and tell people if I edit old notes or do stuff like add pictures (like when I added some photos to the 2 entires from the 14th & 15th of Nashville stuff)?

Ya see, now part of me says, “Hey, it’s my blog and I can do whatever I want,” while the other half says, “Oh, but if I don’t tell people, they will miss important things like that outstanding photo taken at the Grand Olde Opry.”

Then I was blog surfing and came across someone saying they never re-read any entries so there are typos & stuff. I’d have a freaking heart attack if it’s not perfect. I am just way too obsessive to not go back and check for spelling errors and typos. Yes, and you are all laughing at me thinking, “This is perfect??” Okay, not perfect but I don’t want to do any really stupid things like say pubic instead of public.

What about this posting every single day thing I have going? Sure the 5 people who read this every day will like that but isn’t it inconsiderate of me for those who only read it once a week? Who wants to read 7 posts? I suppose it could be worse, though. It could be 7 posts saying stuff like, “Today I went to the store. Yesterday I went for a walk…”

All right, I do believe it’s time for me to go off to bed. And if that damn dog wakes me up at 4:30 a.m. again, he’s going to be heading home to Jesus a lot sooner than he thinks.

Subtitled, “My husband is the sweetest man to ever walk the face of the earth.”

I started the conversation like this: “Honey, do you remember the pictures I took of Steve’s graduation from high school? I had my new, really good digital camera, we had front row seats and all the photos came out like crap?” This was true. Stephen got all sorts of awards & kept popping up on stage like a jack in the box. Unfortunately, the pictures came out so dark & grainy, I could have drawn them better. (Keep in mind, when I draw people, they are stick figures.)

We were off to a good start. He did recall this. I explained that part of the problem is an insufficient flash and the inability to adjust any settings on those little automatic camera. I could just picture him on the other end of the phone, pretending he has a clue what I’m talking about, nodding knowingly. Next I hit him with this line, “I am really lusting after a good SLR digital camera.”

He laughed. This was good. Then I told him I had done some research and I found a camera that got good reviews. I’d be able to use my old zoom lens with it, the one he bought me as a birthday gift when we were dating. He said okay, buy it.

“Don’t you want to know how much it is?”
“If you want it, we should get it.”
“But it’s a lot.”
“How much?” When I told him the price, he did not have the expected heart attack. He said that’s not so bad.

I will be stalking my psychotic UPS guy for the rest of the week. If he dares to toss that package, I may shoot him. (Luckily I do not own a gun.) Then I have to learn how to use the thing before Steve’s graduation. I have less than 3 weeks.
