Just Smile and Nod

I feel compelled to let you guys in on a secret.

So I have wanted to blog for a long time, but there has always been one thing standing in my way. I CAN'T SPELL. There I said it...I can't spell. Maybe now that I have said it, I am committing myself to further inadequacies, but I also think it necessary to discuss the elephant in the room. I do not want to be that person that isn't aware...so know that I am aware!

Along with many other things (the fro I sported, to name one), this problem has plagued me even in my childhood. My parents made me come home after school and write my words 3 times each every day before the test. That's 10 words a list, 3 times each, times 4 days a week!! 120 words and I still, at best, brought home B's (and I don't mean spelling bee's). Not to mention the dreaded spelling bee day! Most of the kids prayed for an easy word on that day, but I prayed for a hard word. At least I might go down in a BLAZE of glory.

In all my frustration I have resorted to making up my own words. Exhibit A: Congraduation, the mixing of the words congratulations and graduation.

I'm just kidding, I don't really say that. But really, in conclusion if you catch a mispelled word here and there, just smile and nod.

I dedicate this blog to word processing and the wonder of spell check!
