Hello All,
Well friends your girl here has been given her first award, it was given to me by the lovely Holly over at In My Over Active Head, Thanks Holly!
It's the Bookworm Award!
Here are the rules:Pass it on to five other bloggers, and tell them to open the nearest book to page 56. Write out the fifth sentence on that page, and also the next two to five sentences...The CLOSEST BOOK, NOT YOUR FAVORITE, OR MOST INTELLECTUAL!!
Well here I go...
Well the first book I saw is one that's on my desk its called What Not to Say and its by Linda J. Beam
And it says... Meaning "next to last", penultimate is often mistakenly used to mean "the very last", or the ultimate: "The perfectionist was crestfallen when he was awarded the penultimate prize; the grand prize went to another." Many people also mistakenly use penultimate when they mean "quintessential" or archetypical."
What a mouthful if I had known this was coming I would have had a more fun book at my desk.
So it is now my honor to pass this award onto... drum-roll please....
