message 51: by Michelle's Empty Nest, The Challenge Whisperer (new)

Hey, it's me again. πŸ˜…


If it's possible, I'd like to add my name back to the list. I'm sorry to be so wishy-washy, but I thought I would swear off new challenges in 2025, so I had decided to back out of this one. However, I'm having withdrawals just thinking about that. LOL! Did I seriously think I could do it?? πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ


So if you'll have me back, I'll let the fates choose my partner.

Can any of us realistically swear off new challenges? Limit how many you join, maybe but none at all... impossible!

I think I have too much FOMO to even limit them.

I tried to limit mine and was unsuccessful. at one point in 2024 I was in 20 challenge and I did use one book for 12 of those.

Richard, the irony is not lost on me. How many challenges are you in? :D

This cracks me up so much because I too said NO NEW CHALLENGES until 2025 -- want to partner up for this one?

:D
