So far so Good

I know it has only been a couple of days, but I am doing very well at accomplishing the goals I made. Even though there is still stuff waiting for me (like housework) I am accomplishing quite a bit. Yay Me!!

Today is "National Coffee Break Day" and Starbucks was giving out FREE coffee between 10am-12pm. Oh yeah!

This morning I taped a few bajillion books for the school in the school library. I think I will hear the squeak of the tape machine for the rest of the day. While there, I must have looked very official because some of the students would ask me questions, seeking help. One such time a young lady was sitting at the computer in front of me working on a project. She turned around and asked me how to spell 'camouflage' because it kept showing the red line indicating it was incorrect.

"Crap" I thought to myself, "Of all things to ask me".

I did my best, "Um let's try, C-A-M- uhh....O-F-L- ummmm" O-U-G...E?" Hopefully I didn't look as much like an idiot as I felt. Somehow I knew it was wrong, but I also knew the fine art of a little something called "Spell check!" Phew, thank goodness for modern technology!

And if you didn't have the luxury of "spell check" you could have looked around the library for a special kind of book called a DICTIONARY.
