Troubel with Spelling


I've always had a difficult time with spelling. i'm not sure why, but often times I find myself googeling words like aisle, spaghetti, cliche, queue and more as a spell checker. I mean why can I NEVER remember how to spell deffinitely. One F or two? One L or two? I or E argh! I'm not really sure why i'm such a bad speller.

When I was a kid I was always really good at spelling tests, but i honestly think it was just because i was forced to make flash cards and go through them over and over and over again the night before a test. I guess that method doesn't stick long term. Maybe the reason it didn't stick is because I don't have a printed dictionary in my house. (which apparently is a really bad thing I discovered this weekend when my parents went into a state of shock when I told them while we were playing scrabble.) Anyway...praise God for spell check.

Just thought I would throw that out there. Anyone else have words they have difficultly spelling?



So I know that was random, but I really don't have anything else to write. Today was average to say the least. But even in it's averageness, I find myself filled with a giddy heart. I'm so happy that God has blessed me with the amazing story i'm a part of called my life. It's hard not to get overwhelmed with thankfulness from time to time.

For instance, today I was walking out to my car afterwork thinking about work things and all that I had to get done tomorrow that wasn't finished today, and I found myself getting a bit stressed and frustrated at how much needs to be done and then randomly I started smiling about it. I mean, I have a GREAT job!

I am in marketing. I get to be creative. I have a lot of freedom to work at my own pace and take projects by the reigns and run with them. I have a really thoughtful inspirational and wise boss, whom I look up to immensly (emmensly? imensley?! sp??!!). I work 5 mins from my house in a super cool venue/office. I get to be in on the ground level of a really quickly expanding company with lots of room for personal growth within the company. My co-workers are really all very driven and smart, but friendly and down to earth. and last, but not least I get to work from a Mac. a big Mac. ha. What more could you ask for.

And my job is not even the most important part of my life. Not really even close, honestly.

sigh.

Blessings abound.

fullness.

thankfulness.

Happyness.

Joy.

  1. I look stuff up all the time. But I think it's a generational thing to really CARE about it. I can't stand to find an error in something I write for public consumption. I don't mind reading blogs (or facebook statuses, etc.) that are riddled with spelling errors, but I don't want to write that way myself. Who knows. (however, I'm far more careless with capitalization...)

    I love that you began to smile right in the midst of the stress to see the blessing!

    Big Mac! Haha.

  3. Sometimes I look at words and they seem weird to me for some reason, even though I know they are spelled correctly. Do you know what I mean?? And just occasionally, I'm not totally going off my rocker just yet! :)

  5. Mom - hope you caught on that most of my spelling errors in this one were intentional to be funny.

    Mandy - Thanks! I did get my hair highlighted a few weekends ago. :)

    Sue - just remembered another word that I can never spell - hilarious. I always want to spell it halirious. And the word Road and Lunch always look/sound wrong to me when I say them. haha.
