If you met me...
If you met me, you would probably be surprised at how different I sound in real life. Recently, Shad and I were having a serious conversation and when I couldn't get my thoughts together, he said, "I want to talk to internet Stephanie!" It's not that I am any different on my blog,(I try to be very genuine in my writings), but it's just that I suffer from a 15 minute delay brain.
I've talked about this before on facebook, but 15 minute brain is a condition that causes me to think of the perfect thing to say 15 minutes after a conversation ends. I always think of the perfect example or comeback 15 minutes too late, and by that time my insights are useless.
On Calculating Blessings or facebook, I get the chance to take time and put my thoughts together, and my 15 minute delay brain thrives. I guess I'm witty, but not QUICK witted. If only five minute Friday were twenty Minute Friday.
I have a question for you. Do your kids' names also start with S, like you and your husband's names? You make me laugh...20 minute Fridays, calculated with the 15 minute delay. I totally get your math analogies, and they always make me laugh. Not on my 5 Min Friday post...but if you met me you would never assume I am a Math person because I am so loquacious. My hubs has a pure math degree and I was a Math lead teacher in a former life B.B. (before boys)!
ReplyDeletethat is so me too! i used to be 'quick witted'... alas. perchance it will return when my kids are grown? :D but i have always felt that i expressed myself more eloquently in writing.
