At my last annual performance review my boss made the observation that I need to proof read more. So did my lecturer when she marked my last essay. If I am going to be perfectly fair, I have had this comment on a fairly (read as very) large percentage of my essays over my academic career. Mostly it is because I am rushing. Usually because (for uni at least) I have left it to the last minute. Partly it is just being slack. A good percentage is because I genuinely read fast and I find it hard to force myself to read slowly and properly edit.
I have noticed I am doing the same with my blogging and it is annoying me. If I am going to write for an open audience I want to do it properly. No rushing. I don't want to have to keep editing posts because something doesn't make sense or I have made a stupid typo .... now just to see how I go!
On an unrelated note, and just to show I am not just sitting around thinking about blogging all day, I bought what I think may be an awesome dress for a wedding today! And I would also like to publicly note my grumpiness about how quickly children grow up.
PS I am now very paranoid about this post ... lol ... probably not that surprising!

Hey beautiful, thanks for popping over to my blog!
I can very much relate to this post. I read way too fast. In fact the other day I asked my husband if it was an illness or learning disablitiy, like dyslexia. I sometimes skip a line when I'm reading and I've started catching myself doing it lately.
Now I'M paranoid after reading this post! Hehe!
Yes kids grow to quickly and congrats on the dress!
