My geek is hanging out

One of the teachers came in this morning and told me he'd read something interesting. Apparently, someone was holding a spelling bee for adults. (He already knew what a spelling nerd I am.)

Turns out a local charity is hosting this event as a fundraiser--it's a team spelling challenge and there's an entrance fee ($300). I didn't think it was really possible...but I really wanted to do it. Because I'm a dweeb. So I started talking about it to people.

I told my friend Cindy, who assumed when I said "adult spelling bee" that it was a bee with "adults-only" words. I would type here the word she spelled, but I don't want to pop up when people Google it. I laughed so hard I thought I'd wet my pants.

I told the people at lunch, who thought it was a great idea. I talked to the principal and have her full approval. Now we'll see who's interested, and start raising funds. Shouldn't be too hard, really...would kids contribute to their teachers in the spelling bee??

Yes, I know my geek is hanging out. I'll try to tuck it back in again.
