We Have A Winner!!!

Okay - I just have to say... I don't know WHERE you people came up with your numbers...

I only found ONE misspelling and it was "ms-spelled"... don't you spell it "mrs-spelled"?  I sho 'nuff thought so!!!

That was until I got this...

Okay...that purse is mine, girlfriend!

I may be a bit of a perfectionist...so here goes!

There were 48 misspelled words! Yes, you heard me right...48.

Back in my teaching days, there would have been lots of colored ink on your essay! :) However, I never used red ink because I thought that red ink has a bad image for students. Even way back in the days before it was easy to find colored inks, I used pink, purple or turquoise to grade papers. Wasn't I on the cutting edge? :)

I don't know how many words I can put in a comment, but I am justifying my count for misspelled words...in order of appearance in the post:

Again, look it up :)

So there you have it Robelyn.

I want that damned purse and those tags so bad, I'm doing whatever it takes to get them.
(which included printing out the article, and reading it like TEN times. Stalked Dictionary.com for 2 hours. And prayed. Yes. Divine help sometimes tops all previous efforts.)

From Jodie!!!  What happened to my ONE misssspelled word?!!? And I am laughing so hard... have ya'll been to visit Jodie?  She's coming to Texas and I'm in the midst of trying to figure out how to stalk her... I have my plotting purse on my shoulder tooooooday.  bwoooo hahaha

Well - I threw their names in the purse (and want to thank EVERYONE for playing - I have never had so much fun!!!) and came out with...

Congratulations!!!  And again - Thank You to EVERYONE for playing!!!  I promise - next time I won't make it so hard... hahaha!

Now I'm off... gonna go find some havoc to wreak (and try to figure out why I counted only 1 mispealed word and when I get to sign up for Malisa's class... I want some pink, purple and turquoise ink on my papers!)...
What are you doing today?

Comin' to you LIVE (where I'm givin' Malisa a high-five and giggling to myself when I think of Jodie) from a single-wide....hee-hee
