    Yay! I love these posts! The word crimes song is too funny! I saw the video a few weeks ago for the first time and I couldn’t stop laughing! I know my grammar can be a little shaky at times but I think I can hold my own and I definitely know the difference between “there, their and they’re,” “to, two, and too,” and “its and it’s.” Weird Al is always fun 🙂

    I can’t wait to read about taking effective naps and I’m scared to read about the 7 day work week. It sounds terrible just from the title but I’m curious now!

    Hope all is well and that you are having a great summer!

      Hey Sarah! My grammar has gotten worse since I’m stopped being a book editor. Oh well! I prefer cleaning up lives to messy manuscripts now. 🙂
