You can do it, Connie! You are a major speed reader!

I don't know, Debra. I am soooo tired from all the family entertaining at my house...
You know what I mean. Cleaning, cooking, etc. I am bushwhacked!
I usually have difficulty sleeping at night; however, for the past couple of nights, I have been so tired that I have just passed out in the bed and haven't even moved all night! At least I am sleeping well. ; )

How are you, sweetie?

I'm obsessing over the alphabet challenge right now. lol Other than being really tired, I'm doing well. I understand how bushwhacked feels, for sure. Hugs!

Bless you! I hope you will feel energized soon. Hopefully, the radiation treatments will not be as draining on your energy level as the chemo has been. I know your system is just wiped out, and you must want to rest often. I am certain you are listening to your body and being a good girl "health wise." ; ) I am so hopeful that by summer you will be back to normal-bouncing off the walls, taking names and giving orders! lol Won't that be a blessing? Almeta will be so glad to have the old you back, so won't even complain about your being a diva! lol

I haven't thought too much about the alphabet challenge, but I am not going to get too caught up in a challenge again. This Rainbow Challenge just took over my reading life! LOL

I understand sleepless nights. As I get older they become more frequent. I always think I'm going to go back to sleep in a few minutes and it never seems to happen. Now that I have so many books I want to read I'll have to start getting up and doing something useful :)
I hope the New Year is a good one for you, Connie. Only good things.

Thank you both so very much. I hope the new year is a joyous and healthy one for each of you and yours! My the wind of prosperity blow gently at your door. : )

Super job on breaking 9000! Have a Happy New Year tackling the alphabets. :)

Thank you, Janice! I hope your New Year is full of joy!

LAST BOOK!

You are amazing, Connie! Wow!

Connie you are unbelievable! I can't wait to see what you do in the ABC challenge.

Awww! Thanks! The very best part of the challenge was making new friends like you gals along the way. I am looking forward to the alphabet challenge just to have more good times together!

What a group! Where else would we discuss Slick Willie the Snail and Johnny Depp in the same breath? LOL!

Wow 25 rainbows and over 9,000 points! Well done Connie!!
