which is today..but probably by the time you read this tomorrow, it will be yesterday..but right now, it's today so what I am blogging about is ...the day after.
Well, actually, no. What I am blogging about was 'the day', which was yesterday..but I am doing it on the day after..but I am writing a little about what we did today, so ..I guess it could be called .."current events"
Hey..does anyone remember Current Events in school ? I remember mine being on Mondays so I had to look in the Sunday paper to find something I could cut out then write about..and I'd do it at the last minute on Sunday night..
OK yes, Current Events would be a better post title..or would that be blog title? So, blog would be the noun..and post would be the verb..as in I am posting the blog..or can post be the noun as well?? As in today's post??
Nevermind....huh..spell check just gave me the 'red underline' of a misspelled word..seems 'nevermind' is actually 2 words. Says you can hyphenate it..never-mind...sort of like when a woman hyphenates her last name.."Jane Smith-Doe"..well that makes more sense because apparently she was a Smith before she was a Doe, but never and mind don't seem to fit that scenario. Plus, I don't say "Never {pause} mind" like I would say 'Smith [totally pause} Doe"
We had our annual little neighbor Christmas-time {note the hyphen?} gathering and we always say, "small, no work, minimal expenditure...easy clean-up." and it tends to be a good deal of work, a good deal of expenditure, and a good deal of clean-up. But it's always fun. And tiring.
Then, after all the guests had left, we watched a little local news when a story about several of the "Angel Tree" kids had not been chosen and how the TV station was asking the public for more donations of coats, clothes in general , socks , etc. when my mother-in-Law, Evelyn, asked if she gave us the credit card, would we go and pick up some items to take down to the distribution center - so off we went today (Sunday..just in case you're confused) and bought 15 jackets and 100 pairs of socks, so at least they will have the warmth of a stranger's love this Christmas ..thanks Evelyn..
{wow, was that the longest run-on sentence, or what?? AND, it had another awesome hyphen!}
So, now it's good-night, or good-morning {hmmm..didn't really pause on these..maybe I should re-think the whole hyphen-thing? Oh, I-just-can't-stop!}
But it worked well in re-think, doncha think?

You have changed your signatre from Utah Grammie to c. That confusd for a minute but then when I read your post I was totally confused. Yesterday-today-tonight-the day after. Hyphen-pause -laughing-out-loud you are a funny one. Wow that ws nice of Evelyn. Your get-to-gether looked fun and the food delicious. Your decorations are nice too and mine are almost non-existant.
When I was teaching i asked the class if anyone knew what the dash was called that joined words together. There was only one hesitant hand raised. He said, is it a python?.
Speaking of dashes (what's the difference between a dash an a hyphen?) a friend who's a teacher had a child in her class named L-a.
It was pronounced "Ladasha". I-am-not-kidding.
Saw that L-a on an email not long ago...funny hyphen stuff.
And as far as C's dashes, they make sense to me (o; Kinda like..
what-the-heck!
Love your Christmas get-to-gether too. OOPS, I got a red liner too. Guess gether ain't a word either, or OOPS. But what-the-heck C, we know what it's all about, huh...
Have a great week-before-Christmas! Thanks for the FUN post (O:
Love the coats and socks donation! Wonderful!
Hooray for Christmas Parties -- Being over! ,-)

Your mother-in-Law Evelyn, is a wonderful woman! Please tell her that Aunt Amelia says so, and give her a big hug, from me.

You guys so rock! And yeah I wish I was your neighbor too? How the heck do you stay on your diet?? You is a strong women!
I love that people still do these neighbor-things. (Is that correct?) And God bless Evelyn real big!
I was thinking are dashes like when you are getting after your kids and you are gritting your teeth and talking through them (ahhh,,,, maybe I used to do that)
enunciating-each-word-as-you-are-trying-to-get-their-attention???? just curious....
Your hearts have such goodness. What a wonderful thing to do for the needy...
