Michelle's Empty Nest’s comments from the Game Night group.

Task: Read a book with two of the same numbers in the page count OR a book with a bird on the cover.
Fits: 331 pages

This is what I posted earlier. However, I'm not sure what Sandi ended up going with.


How about 3 and 10 for remaining CS tasks? A red cover is usually easy to find and a pretty cover will be very easy to do as long as we think it's pretty.


I would pick these 3 for BLS tasks based on what I could easily read for: 3, 7 and 10.


I can always read from a cozy mystery series for the chef/cook/baker.


How does all of that sound?

Fits: Alcoholic drink on cover.

OK. Just be sure not to finish it until our next CS weeks comes up OR until we complete all the regular tasks first.

That sounds fun!!

If you could switch them that would be great!

At this point, I'm not sure exactly what I meant (LOL - crazy, busy weekend with my brain on overload), but you went above and beyond! Thank you for putting all of that in one place!!


I think Jennifer was reading for the yellow book CS task. Is that right, Jennifer?

Also, I am going in for surgery tomorrow morning. I don't know when I'll be able to check-in. But, since I am addicted to Goodreads, I c..."

Sounds good! As I said in the other group, take your time and don't rush until you feel up to it. {But I do understand the addiction!}

This is what I see as left for us to read:

Michelle - Olive Oil and Beef
Diane - Oregano
Jennifer - Antiperspirant/Deodorant and Sponges

Just making sure we're all on the same page and that I didn't miss something on the SS.

Sandi wrote: "Michelle,

I had already requested Antibiotics and Allergy when we decided on that. So we have six for CS between what we have done and what we have set aside for future CS tasks."

So we should be good to go with the clarification from Twist.

Do you mind listing the 6 CS tasks here, please ma'am?

And I guess I need to keep Olive Oil now.

OK, thanks, Twist. That clears it up for us!

Alright.

This is the comment from Twist that has me wondering about the total number needed:

"I count only 6 requests for CS tasks. You will need 1 more."

Another question:

I see 6 weeks of CS tasks on the schedule, but in our thread you mentioned that we need 1 more. Are we supposed to have 6 or 7? Thank you!

OK. I only see 6 CS weeks listed on the schedule but Twist made a comment that we needed 1 more instead of 6. So I'm a bit confused about that at the moment. I'm going to ask in the Q&A just to be sure exactly how many we need.


In the meantime, I count 5 tasks left. And it looks like you already requested for CS this week, right? If so, we will need 2 or 3 more depending on what Twist says in her answer.


I'll go ahead and say that I'll give up Olive Oil - alcoholic drink on cover since I've already picked a book for Beef.


Jennifer also has 2 tasks selected. If she wants to give up 1, that would put us down to 3 tasks left...which might be how many we need. If Twist says just 2, we'll knock 1 more off the list.


So if all that made sense, YAY! We need to hear from Twist and Jennifer before we can make a final list. Hopefully we'll know by the end of the day.


EVERYONE: Please hold off on posting any more completions for now. :-)
