Brevity?

After my numerous lengthy blogs tonight I was commenting to Jimmy that I wish I were better at making my words concise and interesting to the reader. Only Eric & Steph Bacon know the number of tears I shed over all my English papers in college. Ay-ay-ay! Anyhoo... so Jimmy said, "Brevity is the soul of wit." And I was like 'huh?'. I missed the last half of his sentence and was utterly confused. But once I heard him write, I realized how true that saying is. I really think I need to expand my vocabulary and writing skills. See - I can't even write a post on Brevity in a brief way! Hardy-har-har!

Holy blogging Heather! You are great! I hear you on the brevity thing. I start typing thinking it'll be a short 4-5 sentence paragraph and it turns into a 4-5 paragraph novel post. Oh well. I think you are fabulous.

Love the kids Halloween costumes. Abe looks totally comfortable and Hannah looks so sweet. Fun times. Love your cute family.

Hah! I have that problem too...sometimes it takes me a whole paragraph to figure out what I am really trying to say.

Hee! I hear you on this one! I just wish I had Wade's talent for being concise and using just the right words.
