Spelling Bee

I thought I was finished with Spelling Bees after elementary school. Da Judge asked me to get a 3-person team together from the Friends of the Library and the salon she owns (and her sister manages for her) would pay the entrance fee.

The Bee was tonight. One of our team, the most stable person I've known in a long time, called at noon and said she wasn't going to show up. I made no comment - just hung up the phone. She called back and fussed at me pretty royally for hanging up on her. LOL She was actually having a bad case of nerves! I would've never ever guessed that of her. 

We could appoint a "speller" - the third team member said she'd do it. The way it works...the word was called out, we each wrote it down, compared our spellings, then the speller stood and spelled it...she did great! 

We were NOT the first ones out! YEAH!!!! We came in fourth out of eight teams. And we are all happy about it!

woo hoo, you did good at the spelling bee!! I loved those when I was in school. I love to read, would read everything I could get my hands on when I was young. I was probably around 13 or 14, and the the eye doctor told my mom I could not read for an entire summer. I needed to rest my eyes. Now most kids would have been happy, I CRIED!! :)
I still read as much as I can.

On the living with you note, DH says I can`t, I would get fat! lol
