congraDulation
I was helping Lucy writing a card to one of her friends two nights ago about getting a new job when I tried to correct her about how to spell congraDulation. She told me that the category of the ecard belong to congraTulation. I was really confused since I always spell the word with a D. When I talked to Andy later that night, I asked him to spell the word for me. Andy then told me that he knows all along that I always spell it wrong! :P So all the cards I wrote in the past 12 years probably all have that mistake! This is very embarrasing as you would think I will pick up on my mistake a long time ago. Well, I guess it's like how I always spell Christine's name wrong in high school (for 3 years I spell it like Christein) until she correct me on our graduation book signing I think. I don't think I will ever enter a spelling bee :P

hehe...D vs T. Carol is so adorable.
i agree with andy. spelling is SO overrated-- any programs you use to write these days have auto-correction. seriously, your PDAs, word, computer-based prescription pads... they all spell for you.
i spell my name ten thousand ways- just for fun too... christeen, christinie, christene, chreesitini... etc etc.
trust me: congra-T-ulation is least of your worries as you have to learn to spell benzodiazepines and sildenafil all too soon. :)
oh, that made me think-- were you ever good at the mandarin "ju yin fu how" in 2nd grade? i was never good at those damn symbols.
I was pretty good at "ju yin" except the light sound, those always got me confused.... seriously, after I moved to the state, I realize the Taiwan education department make the whole thing wayyyyy to complicated :P
