Okay, with all of the talk about how picky I am about spelling I have to confess to you a word that I am having consistent trouble spelling. When I wrote the piece about Troy and I watching the lightning, I originally spelled it "lightening". Neither one of them looked right to me (and I almost wrote that it "didn't look write" -- I am LOSING it!) I wrote it, went with "lightening", published it, then started second guessing myself.
When all else fails, Google!
One defintion of "lightening" that I found: descent of the uterus into the pelvic cavity that occurs late in pregnancy; the fetus is said to have dropped
Oops. No, Troy and I were definitely NOT watching THAT! I stand corrected.

ha! that's funny...
"receive" or "recieve" is the one that always gets me...any tricks for remembering the right way to spell it?
Anne, how 'bout "i before e except after c"?
That's a good one.
Funny... gotta love spell check! I think we all have words that give us trouble.
