Miss TCCS Anonymous–I hope you identify yourself…do you know what an e-mail like this does to someone like me???  Give me CLUES that we went to the same Christian School but you don’t tell me your name…that drives me nuts…She lets me know that she was in Elementary School when I was graduating…So are you my sister Jennifer’s age?  AND by the way…thank you for reminding me that I was old enough to babysit you–hee hee–Did I babysit you?  Did you go to the church or just the school?  Do you still go to the church?  Do you still live in the KC area?  This will drive me bananas.  I want to go pull out every year book and scan through all 600 plus followers and see if I notice who this is.

First off, let me say this type of e-mail does not upset me in any way.  I am really pretty easy going (I hope she remembers that about me and how FUN I was) and I need ALL THE HELP I CAN GET.  I think it is sweet that she did not want to upset me.  I do want to mention her e-mail, because it might drive you crazy and you might wonder WHY I home school my children and not know about contractions.  No not the type of contractions that you have when you are in labor.  Contractions, you know the ones you use an apostrophe when shortening a word like:  will not is WON’T  or should not is SHOULDN’T–wheh that really shortened that word and saved me from having to write an “O”, although I did have to put an apostrophe in place of the “O” so it really didn’t save me one little bit but hey the English rules are CRAZY and they break their own rules all the time.  So I figured I could break them too.  No not really that isn’t why.

Now that you know that I am aware of contractions and know all about apostrophes, I can explain to you my logic, and if you ask Prince Charming he sometimes, thinks my logic doesn’t make any sense at all. I debated for quite some time on that apostrophe–you know the one that is GRAMATICALLY correct in the word IT’S when used in the context IT IS.  Have you ever noticed that it is missing in my title?  Miss TCCS Anonymous did–well done Miss TCCS on acquiring a good education, listening in class, not chewing gum, conducting yourself proper at all times, attending all alumni games–oops I don’t do that and I chew gum sometimes, AND NOTICING that my apostrophe was missing-hee hee!! Back to the debate over the missing apostrophe–I decided to leave it out, even though it BREAKS THE GRAMMATICAL RULES–you know why, because you can’t use it in the URL and I thought it would be less confusing.  I had a teacher leave me a message, several months back,  telling me about it and so I did a poll asking if it bothered you and the overall vote was NO, some even liked it being different and wrong and others understood why I would leave it out, some had never even noticed it. No one else commented on it bothering them–So I left it.  I hope it doesn’t drive you nuts but just helps you remember me.

Thank you Miss TCCS, a lot younger than me ANONYMOUS commentor.
Here is the super sweet ANONYMOUS (still going crazy here) e-mail she sent
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post “Its So Very Creative“:

Cheri,

You don’t know me, but we have many mutual friends (TCCS people). I’m several years younger than you are. I was in elementary school when you graduated, but I’ve always known your name.

I stumbled upon your blog a month or so ago through your Facebook. (We have several mutual friends there.) I don’t consider myself particularly creative, but I enjoy seeing other people’s creativity! I bookmarked your blog and began following.

I know that you desire to make a business from this blog and hope to see it really grow. I hope that does happen for you! When you mentioned in this post that you were working on a blog header, I thought maybe you’d appreciate knowing something…

In “It’s So Very Cheri,” it’s should have an apostrophe, because it is a contraction for it is. I hope it is okay to tell you. I thought you’d want that to be done correctly from the start!

I trust the Lord blesses your efforts here and uses them to help your husband and children as he pursues a new career path.
