Blog World

I have now entered the blog world. I have toyed for some time with the idea of having my own blog. So here it is. I chose a name for my blog that ironically at times I have hated being labeled as. When meeting new people the question eventually comes up "What does your husband do for a living?" I will admit at times I cringe to hear that question. Nobody acts differently around you if your husband is a dentist or an accoutant but tell them you are married to a pastor and suddenly they watch every word they say or start apologizing for anything they may have said before. I do have to admit there are some advantages to being a pastors wife, perks you might say. Discounted vacation homes, many baked goods at Christmas, and the biggest blessing the love and support of your congregation, family and friends who stand behind you with prayers and support. Not everyone can say that about their job. Overall I wanted to show how normal (or not normal) I am being a preachers wife. So I am going to embrace the title and show people we are all just human and need the grace of God. Preachers wife or not.

So glad you entered the blogosphere! I look forward to your insights and all the goofy comments that Fig is sure to leave. I apologize in advance for all his mispelled words.

Found you!
I'll add you to my favorites, because we all know I don't read enough blogs to begin with. Because
who needs to go out and make friends when you have blogs?

And I can't say that the looks people give me when I say I'm a pastor's wife are any worse than the looks they gave me when I said I was a lawyer's wife...they did swear more before...no wait, that was me.

#%$@! %$#@!, %$#@!!, &%$#@!

I apologize for my language there, i didn't realize you were a preachers wife. I thought Bob was a builder,you know "Bob the Builder"?

I don't care if you are a preachers wife that isn't going to change how I behave around you and Bob. And you are right, you're not normal.

You are a preachers wife? Oh yeah, thanks to Rob who came just in time you have turned out OK. I spent years trying to undo all the harm your brothers have donw. I can remember laughing at Ron and Todd as they pushed you over as a toddler. They were teaching you humility. In grade school your teacher would call me and ask for advice because you were crying. I told her to tell you to act like a man. This taught you strength. In high school your ego took a dive. CHEERLEADING what were you thinking? Even though you were degrading yourself, I was the only one who supported you. Remember how I came to every game? This taught you courage. (not yours mine) The dating years. What a disaster! This taught you patients as you had to wait until your hair grew out. Then, Rob saved the day. He is of course a mirror image of myself. The man you always were looking for. Yet, I degress. The reason for me to write on this blog was two fold. A. To incurage you as a "Preachers Wife" 2. To write the longest blog to date. R. To test you to find all the spelling mistakes and report them back to me.(4)

It is also not easy being a nephew of a pharmacy owner. People act differently around me when I tell them that. I am thinking of starting my own blog called- The Pharmacy Owners Nephew.

Hey Rob, your a blogger! I went to your site, but I rather talk with you here on Flashes blog. Are you ready for "the hunt"? How is the golf game. I havn't played since the masters. Do you push Tami over once and a while just for laughs?

To Tami,

What were you thinking starting a blog to open yourself up to the abuse of your brothers and Dutch-E-Boy? Did you hit your head a lot when your brothers were pushing you down?

To Figtionary,

You must be related to Fig, preachers looks good to me, and the spell check.

Michelle said...

not too shabby Tami, 18 comments on your first post. Nothing will ever top Carl's Seinfeld post-- 122 comments! I remember it fondly.

To Kraig E Boy

Tami used Preacher's, or is there more than one Preacher she is the wife to

Old School said...

At least the time is right, and I haven't used bad language yet

Anonymous said...

Preacher's wife would be like saying Preacher is wife. That just don't make no sense!

Anonymous said...

no. Preacher's wife is like saying that she belongs to a preacher.

An apostrophe is normally used with the letter s to show ownership or possession.

With most singular nouns, simply add an apostrophe plus the letter s to do this.

Tami, you are correct in your grammar.

To "Know it all". So you think you now it all? There is no "know" in now it all. Many people mispell nife also. Why do everyone insist on adding "k" to every thing. From know on please sign on correctly as "Now it all"

Tami, I ain't got no problem with your english. Their is nothing wrong with your use of the language. I have saw a lot of writing and you is good at it.

Anonymous said...

Fig, You are left( Not right). I am a no it all. "No it all"

Anonymous said...

Based on that english lesson from "Know it all", I still count 5

donw, patients, degress, incurage, and indeed
preachers,
unless there is more than one preacher, in which case then there are 4 mistakes

Don't question the Figtionary
