March 8: National Proofreading Day and Return of Daylight Savings

So Daylight Savings returned. Which didn't actually bother me this time because I didn't have to wake up early for work or school for once. And as I am typing this, it is almost 7:30pm and it is still light outside. I love that.

So National Proofreading Day. I am not very good at Proofreading. More than once, my mom or my friend Allison have alerted me to the fact that this blog had a typo. I once meant to type "remove from pan" (it was a day I was baking something) and I wrote "remove from pants". I didn't notice until luckily Allison told me. How embarrassing! In the past I listed a pillowcase for my Etsy store at $1,200 instead of $12. I guess I thought that one pillowcase was worth a lot more for some reason!

Have you ever made an embarrassing typo that easily could have been avoided if you had proofread? Leave me a comment and let me know!
