Just a quickie post to let you know that I did a guest post for Jenn over at Eating Bender of a rather nutty nature. I had the opportunity to meet her over a fabo lunch at Pita Jungle in Phoenix over the holidays with my other hiking peeps, Beeks, Tenaya (Beek’s super cool mom), Heabs and Alice (Heab’s MIL). We also definitely bum-rushed the gelato place next door.
Jenn is in the throws of planning a wedding (just like Janetha Bean at Meals & Moves) and is starting a new career. Head on over and say Hi.

Speaking of nutty, I wanted to share a series of texts between Derek and his assistant during our blustery, post-tsunami beach walk on Monday. He’s instructing her to let a client know that an order will be late as the goods are still on the ship. That’s ship, with a “P.”
- Derek: NGO ahead and te het, e plain it was dayed.
- Assistant: Do we need a decoder ring for this message??
We have NO idea what you need us to do. - Derek: Go ahead and explain it (the shit) was delayed.
This is the reason you shouldn’t text & walk. Don’t you just love our new-fangled phones with their “smart” typing / auto-correct feature?
Remember: Lara at Thinspired is giving away a food scale. Run,don’t walk to enter!
Q: Have you ever texted/emailed something embarrassing due to these “smart” features? I keep meaning to keep a file of them because it seems to happen to me all the time!

I lived in Phoenix one summer. Yeah for the summer ONLY...I know I must hate myself. I used to go to the Pita Jungle over in Tempe. YUM!
I can't think of something funny I've texted. However a few weeks ago when I was visiting one of our elderly friends in the nursing home my husband texted "say ho for me". Weird I thought then a few minutes later I got another text from him that said "as in hello...not you ho"
Did I use "texted" right? It looks really weird right now.
I LOLed and had to read that to the hubs.
Over Xmas we were taking care of a co-worker's pets and I wrote "The rabbits are ded." Um, "fed." Thank GOD I caught it before I sent it - she would have had a heart attack.
Jenn- Ha ha calling an old lady a "ho"!
Carbz- Good thing you proof read!! :-)
LoLs!!! :-D
im still totally envious i missed that...i was in my own little slice of paradise but i missed the cool girl party, clearly :)
Not with texting, but the one and only time I forwarded a dirty joke, the so-called smart email forwarded it, not to "Ash" but to the "A.S.H." email list - a group of about 30+ engineers at work...
Doh!
Best part? I worked in Human Resources!
Ha ha. You and Luvie never fail to make me smile.
I have a neighbor named Justin who shares the last name as Justine. Weird huh? Anyway, I once sent him a text that was meant to go to Justine...something about me having really bad gas after eating fro-yo. He never responded, and I sill hide from him when I see him outside.
A friend was telling me about her elderly dog who was dying. I responded, "I am sorry to hear about your elderly dong."
Fortunately, she appreciated the laugh!
I added naughty words to my text vocabulary.
Accidentally texted something not so nice to my boss the other day. Whoops!
Haha, that's awesome. Loved the assistant's response too!
Btw, I've been reading your blog for a little while now and for some reason never commented. You seem so cool ;) Anyways, I'm done "hiding" so I'm saying hello. :D
Haha, just saw HEAB's comment. That's hilarious!!
Oh man! Allie, HEabs, Christine, Tired- total crackups!! What a hoot!
Elina- thank you sooo much for de-lurking! I appreciate it!
Every time I type in "what" my phone comes up with "xiao." Seriously?? There's also been a number of times I meant to type "supper" and my phone chose "purses" instead.
not that it's embarrassing, but it's annoying! My iPhone has decided that the word "off" should be spelled "Off'" with the capital letter and apostrophe. I have to correct it EVERY time and it won't get the hint!
I turned off my autocorrect for that very reason! I may be a slower texter without it but at least this way I have time to make all the other foot-in-mouth mistakes I'm so prone too;)
I read this forum since 2 weeks and now i have decided to register to share with you my ideas. [url=http://inglourious-seo.com]:)[/url]
I commented on Bender's post, but I have to tell you that I LOVE the name you gave to your nutty creation ;) Justin would be wise to hire you for some freelance work naming his products ;)
Thanks for the link love! Your story about Derek and his assistant has me cracking up! So does Heabs story about Justine! Love you ladies :)
