How many blondes does it take

...to spell "tchotchke?" Apparently more than one. I had to look it up. Good thing I wasn't in a spelling bee. I still remember the word that knocked me out of the 6th grade bee: "microcosm." (I spelled it M-I-C-R-O-I-S-M. Dumbass.)

However, I did win the office bee (yes, you read that right) two years running at the Art Institute. Which came with bragging rights and an obscenely large trophy. Obviously tchotchke was not one of my words. Ironically I can spell Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in my sleep. But that's neither here nor there.
