I had an orthodontist appointment yesterday and it was good news and bad news. The bad news is I have to wear the stupid elastics again. But that pales in comparison to the good news: my orthodontist started talking about how we can soon start talking about “taking the braces off.” Squee!! I mean, it’s […] →Read more
So Kalev, knowing my love of grammar nerdery, brought this article to my attention the other day: 14 Punctuation Marks That You Never Knew Existed. First, I have to say that I totally already knew of the interrobang, the dagger (and double dagger), and the caret. As if people don’t know about those. But, secondly, […] →Read more
That’s how much time I have left until I’m off for the holidays. Ten business days.
