sorry

I’m sorry if I offended anyone with my language in that last post. I would never say anything like that in real life. I’m too chickenshizzle. The hard thing about the whole blog thing is that I’m giving people impressions of myself that may or may not be correct. Since people don’t know me, they may not understand the sarcasm, or the motivation behind my words. I know I’ve said some things in the past that have made people feel bad or were taken the wrong way. Always unintentional, of course, but hurtful to someone for some reason nevertheless. It makes me sad. I hate conflict. I hate making people upset. I hate disappointing people. I hate that this blog has done all of those things at one point or another.

    No offense here Shannon. Some people (like the dude at Arby’s) just don’t think before they say things out loud. I think you handled yourself gracefully and of course your inner voice wanted to react in a different way. That’s called being human. You are a sweetheart. We all know it. =)

    Shannon, you rock. One thing I love about you is that you say whatever you darn well please on your blog. If people don’t like it or they get offended, they can stop reading. In that situation (at Arby’s), I probably wouldn’t have said anything either, but would have boiled inside all afternoon, thinking about all the choice words I SHOULD have said. You are awesome and I would be super sad if you changed your style so as to not offend anyone.

    Huh? I’m sorry? I just don’t get why others would be offended because of the language of your last post. I wasn’t offended, in fact I completely understand why you felt the way you did when you heard that rude remark from a complete stranger!! You handled yourself gracefully and eventhough you think you should have said something, the fact that you held your self in check shows your children why you are teaching them to be polite, caring people–and not end up like that man! Shannon, this is your blog. You shouldn’t have to apologize because you shared with us–readers who willingly visit you–how you REALLY felt.

    I jusr read that post like six times and am hard pressed to find any profanity. And why does juicy stuff always wait to happen until I’m busy and have to miss it? LOL

    Really, though…unless someone is sending you the eight bucks a month for your account, feel free to do as you wish there. :)

    no need to apologize shannon. really. i don’t even know you (like for reals) and i think you’re a great person. so accomplished and above all a great momma.

    besides, everyone (i think) has a bit of sass in them. but that does not mean that it encompasses all of who they are, right?

    i am also very sarcastic at times. many times my humor has been perceived the wrong way, but hey….that’s just me. holding myself all in would make me (literally) sick.

    so you go on and be yourself….to date i don’t think i’ve seen you get nasty, rude or mean.

    no offense, ok, I giggled more than a bit.
    I think we are all just a sum of our parts and your blog writing is just one part. Don’t know how many parts you have (since I’ve never met you irl), but I am sure that all together they make a lovely, fun person. period. ;)
