Proper Puncutation

I have been wanting to do this for a long time. The thing that has kept me from it seems like a stupid reason not to go for it- Proper Punctuation (and grammar). I write like I talk usually one big run-on sentence with multiple thoughts. Some of my friends get annoyed and have to reread my facebook statuses just to understand them. Most of my friends don't mind the many thoughts all running together and they actually enjoy them and the TMI! A few people are offended and our friendship has distanced because of my oversharing.
However, I decided to start blogging today because at the park I ran into an old highschool friend. Well actually we weren't really ever friends in highschool. I don't even think I liked her much then! She was in the popular group and I was not! But you know after highschool and with the help of all of these crazy social networking sites everyone wants to be your friend. I left my old friend by saying, "I'd chat again on facebook!" She actually said, "your statuses are so funny." I told her I was thinking of starting a blog (largely in part to not having enough characters to fit everything I need to say!) She actually said, "you should!" So dear old friend who I never hung with (in part because I didn't like you but largely because I feared I wasn't good enough for your "groupies" this blogs for you!) If she thinks I'm funny than I am all in! (It's fun being like by the popular girls!)
See already I have reread this post rechecking to make sure I used puctuation somewhere. Probably not in the right place but at least it will seperate 2 random thoughts. Another problem with me starting this I just want to keep writing and going on and on telling everyone in the world about my life. So I am going to try hard to stick to the title of the blog and I am getting tired. Just last week in response to me complaining about being so tired. My 4 year old who is very witty quipped back, "probably cause you talk so much." So in an effort to not tire myself any further I will call it a post and go to bed. More on where this blog gets its' name tommorrow.

  1. love it Jackie! I'd love to blog about our life and everyday happenings but just don't think my life is interesting enough to bother with it!! LOL But I do love reading your status's and have been able to follow almost all of them with the lack of punctuation! I have a bad habit of using too many "!" I feel like I can't get my point across unless I include a "!" at the end! I look forward to following your blog!

  3. I have often wanted to start a blog of my own but never seem to have the time. I also think that maybe my life is so boring who would read it anyway.
    I look forward to your updates. As far as your grammar and punctuation go ---- it isn't as bad as you may think.
    God Bless! Blog On!
