Silent Night and a Grammar Snob


December Day 3...Silent Night. I titled it that because that was the theme at church. I didn't take a picture, because it would be of the kids, and I don't post their pictures. But I do post their artwork. One little goldilocks always makes something for me on Wednesday nights, so I put it on my page. What is it? Who knows? It is a bunch of cut up scraps of notebook paper glued together, with "Miss Jinifur" on it. Can't beat that...
On another note, I mentioned eharmony a few posts ago. I signed up for the weekend, and had one interested person. I wasn't sure then if I'd email him or not. I did. On a Monday. And then I heard nothing. I'll admit, I was okay with it. It's so easy to write it off when they don't email back.
But then he did email back. And I responded, as did he again. So the ball was in my court. I was (still am) hesitant, unsure. For several reasons. I don't like his emails grammatically. I know it sounds ridiculous, but if I wanted to read long run-on sentences, I'd ask my fourth graders to write something for me. And if I wanted to read text-language (how r u?) I'd email my sister. And he keeps telling me that I'm cute and sweet, but he's only seen one picture of me, and I don't think of myself as "sweet". Don't know why...just don't. So I didn't email him back. I was just going to let it fade.
But he emailed me last night. Actually, at about 1am this morning. And he apologized for being "distant" but that work was busy. And he said he was still interested in chatting with me. And I can't ignore that. He apologized to me even though it was my fault. That's good character that I can't ignore. So I emailed him back, honestly telling him I was unsure about this whole thing and asking a few more questions for him to answer.
So, I'm giving it all another chance. After all, he does know who Eric Hutchinson is. And that says something.

  1. Hmm...."How r u?" is a turn off even in a text message much less an e-mail. Can he really not spare that millisecond to type out the words? With that being said, I guess one date couldn't hurt. I wouldn't spend much more time e-mailing or IMing or whatever--just meet for coffee. And keep us posted!
