Actually it's more like, "j" because I am too lazy to hold a shift key.
However, if I don't know you well, or I'm trying to convince you that I'm not a shady sort of person (and am safe enough to meet up with to sell me your wares) I will sign my whole name.
Unfortunately-
the way my iPhone keyboard is set up, I often unintentionally end up offending people. I wish the "I" and the "K" weren't positioned so close to one another.
Recent text I should've checked before sending:
"No, really, it's alright if you don't get here until 5, I'll wait. jerk."
Yeah. Winning friends and influencing loads of people in everything I do.
On another note:
I am going to London next week. To meet THIS woman. Remember Heidi? I couldn't say enough nice things about her and her kindness to me when my order of Muddy H2O chocolate masks went wrong (on the US Postal side of things-- not the Muddy company) and now she's coming and wants to meet up with Moi. I'm so excited.
Any other UK bloggy friends want to come out and play?
Email me. I'm there. I'll text you back and if I call you a jerk, don't take it personally.
You had me worried for a moment. I thought that you were going to call it a day and stop blogging.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day out!
I don't know why I thought that was so funny, but I'm STILL chuckling over you calling friends JERK. I guess it's because it's totally something that I would do. Or maybe because I'm that immature.
ReplyDeleteToo Funny!! I think I will stick with my flip phone!!
ReplyDeleteHave a GREAT day!
You askeered me! I thought you were gonna say you were quitting blogging and then I would've been callin you a jerk! well not out loud.
ReplyDeleteAre you talkin bout Heidi the Milkmans wife?
never mind I found the link. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteidk, sounds like a quick-thinking "get me out of this mess" story to me! Have fun in London.
ReplyDeleteOkay so, file the 'jerk' thing as stuff that would only happen to you! LOL! I wish *I* were coming to your neck of the woods to play in your lovely gardens. Sigh. My dream vacation is to attend the Chelsea Garden Show (sans spouse- he'd hate doing that). Sigh again. Lucky Heidi!
ReplyDeleteOh....those things happen to me all the time....other than....it is usually just my mouth, no keyboard of any sort needed. How at 37 I still can trip over words and say something other than what I intend to is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good chuckle.
That's exactly why I'm not allowed to text, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'd give anything to meet up with you in London. Unfortunately, we'll be on the beach in Santa Monica for a week. Have a great time!
LOL! You are hilarious. Thanks, I needed a good laugh. :) I'd comment more but I have a very "helpful" 15mo who is making typing difficult.
ReplyDeleteI just can't stop laughing!! And speaking of laughs, my verification word is "horbox!" My mind is so in the gutter right now!
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny. Love it. Hopefully it didn't wreck a potentially blossoming relationship.
ReplyDeletelucky, lucky Heidi!! I'm a wee bit jealous! Well, make that a lot bit jealous.
LOL! Too funny and I too am jealous.. I wanna' come... :(
ReplyDeletei've had my iphone "fix" a few things in weird ways as well, but that takes the cake!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud reading this - too funny! I am still smiling. Have a super-duper-fab time in London, I must give you a shout next time I pop over to ask if you are around!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I gasped when I saw your title. So glad the post turned out to be a funny anecdote and not an adieu! Which reminds me... it's long past time I put you on my blogroll as to not miss another rapturous moment of storytelling. Thought I already had {blushing}. Forgiveness please. I'm menopausal and apparently forgetful.
ReplyDeleteLove you Jeri. Keep on typo-ing! Makes for great reading.
XO
I send texts like that all the time!! lol
ReplyDeleteFunny text!
ReplyDeleteI also thought you were thinking of quitting because of the title!
Awesome! -Jerk ,Love it! Ha. Congrats on your POTD award. I saw it in your side bar. I've been mentioned over there on the Authorblog. It is a great honor. :)
ReplyDeleteI came over in search of a giggle . . . found that and a guffaw, as well. Thanks ever so much. ; D
ReplyDeleteThat was so funny! That's something I would do. It's probably something I HAVE done (I should do more proof reading...)
ReplyDeleteLOL. I'm relieved--I thought you were going to quit blogging! I want to come play!
ReplyDeleteWell that title sure got attention.. as does your unfortunate sign-off. Too funny. :)
ReplyDeletebwahahahahahahahahahahaha snort guffaw
ReplyDeletelove it.
jerk.
HA!!!
Seriously... if my back didn't hurt so much right now I would rolling on the ground laughing.
Look who has internet again!?!??!?!
ReplyDeleteIt's ME! (Who?)
I'm back! (We've forgotten who you are you've been gone so LONG!!!)
Well ... I'm back anyways ... whether you remember me or not. And I'm GLAD to be here! The move is taking forever ... but we're in our new home, repairing things, fixing broken drawers and cupboards, and plumbing and etc. ... and it seems I get so little me time ... but wanted to take a minute to say Hi!
We can amputate our noses together. lol
You are TOO funny! :) I too thought you were "signing off" from the blogging world. Whew! Good to see I was mistaken! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a swell time in London; how exciting! This made me laugh out loud. Not lol, like spit soada everywhere, laugh out loud.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, C~
Oh dear. Well this post gave me a good giggle. Darn those little phone buttons! HA! :D
ReplyDeletei FINALLY figured out why you never show up in my blogroll. It's 'cause I'm following you on the blog you haven't touched in over a year. I'm very quick. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteHow's the progress with your oldest and surgery?
ReplyDeleteDid someone say chocolate? Still in search of a clue. ;)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, there is mud written all over this post!! maybe it's too obvious though?
ReplyDeleteLove me some chocolate!!!!
