Sounds good, Tami. I'll put you on the back-up list.
Yes, if you'd like to be. Sorry! My mistake.
don't worry about it, it happens. I will be here cheering everyone on though!

Oh..oh..OH! So exciting!! *And the team lists~still blank...the anticipation!~ went up today....YIPPEE!
Hi, Lili! I'll do what I can to accommodate member's color ❤, but no guarantees. :)Judithe wrote: "Oh..oh..OH! So exciting!! *And the team lists~still blank...the anticipation!~ went up today....YIPPEE! "
Yep! Tryin' to get prepared, so we can get this party started. :D
Pacing back and forth, back and forth!What colour will I be? Biting fingernails. LOL
Who will be on the same team? Back and forth, back and forth. LOL
I read the back page first for a reason people! No patience! Back and forth! LOL
Sandra, STOP! Just stop! You're making me dizzy as I pass you by in the room circuits...
Hello! Sorry I was gone all weekend for Memorial Day. Did I miss the sign up?(reading back) Oh, ok! I'm on a back up list! That's cool with me! If you guys need me send me a Private Message and I'll be ready to go! Thanks!
*eats popcorn and watches Sandra and Judithe pace circles around each other*It's kind of like watching Nascar, but more exciting.

LOL
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock....I've walked 500 miles pacing behind Sandra and Judithe and I'm dehydrated now. So...
...like any zealot worth her salt, Erato pitches her tent in front of Mr. Randomizer's door, sits herself down, and shoulders her picket sign...Cat Connect 4 or Bust!
Hey, Alyssa! Can you pass the popcorn? ;P
LMAO!! Have I told ya'll lately how much I❤U?! Ya'll never fail to make me :)
Sure, Erato. I got kettle corn, cheese flavor, or butter flavor. So, which do you want? Need a soda or something?
:-D
Got any of that healthy garbage with electrolytes in it? Sandra and Judithe set a mean pace! ;PCheeeeeeeese corn! Nom, Nom, Nom!!!
Start Date: The first categories will be announced Sunday, 5 June. We will be announcing TWO categories each Sunday. Everyone will be able to use either one or both categories when choosing their book wkly. Category announcements will be posted here , as well as on each team's thread, for easy reference.
Let me know if you have any questions. :D
How does it work if you can choose either one or two categories? You mean some will read two books in one week or how will that work? :)
No, sorry, I didn't explain that very well. Initially I was planning on announcing one category a week which everyone would use to choose their book. But, I thought maybe some categories might be harder than others. So, I decided I'd announce two each week. An example would be categories (1) author's last name initial F and (2) vampire character are announced.
Members could choose to read a book written by an author w/last initial F OR a vampire character. Where, initially, they would've had to choose a book by an author w/last initial F.
Members could also choose to use both categories when picking their book: A book written by an author w/last initial F and a vampire character. There won't be any add'l points or benefits to using both categories though.
Does that make sense? Or did I just make it more confusing?
Hmm, I think I get it! :) No requirement to read both, but you can if you want to? Although it's still one book that counts. Did I get it right?
Yep :) Only req'd to read one book for one of (the two categories) announced each week. :)
That's the hope, Jessica :)
Yeah, I'm thinking now that the school work is done, I should be able to find a book in my huge to-read list fitting either of the categories and read them, since I have three months with nothing to do, lol. When is the final date to be sure and signed up? :)
oooohhhh!... the more I read, the more I like... and the more I want to play!2 categories each week, Steph?
tsk tsk
I'm happy to say you're spoiling us... I knew all pacing of those two would pay off!
We have a date ladies!
aaaand an extra shelf to choose from as a bonus!
So... how's the local Nascar going?
Is there still room in Erato's tent?... I brought some Nachos!
Of course; it will be just like Bingo.As long as the book fits the category that is all that matters.
Not sure Sarah, Steph is off tonight, so it won't be before tomorrow. Relax .... or join Judithe & I pacing ... back and forth .... back and forth ... *manical laughing heard in background*
Relax or pace... I think I'll pace with you and Judithe. I can burn calories that way! And we can go crazy while we do it! :D
...taking bets on 1. who gives out first
2. who lasts the longest
3. who eats the most
4. who drinks the most
5. who finds the Double Death by Chocolate Triple 'O' dessert that is hidden
Am I allowed to bet?? and what's the currency? Books? Chocolate? ...
Sarah wrote: "Am I allowed to bet?? and what's the currency? Books? Chocolate? ..."Any acceptable offer will be considered. House rules, though!
ie: NO COFFEE, BEER to name a couple
Prefer: CHOCOLATE, books of ALMOST any genre, tea, sodas, hard liquor, food, CASH
Okay I bet 5 Hershey's Candy Bars that I will find the Double Death by Chocolate Triple 'O' dessert .. and that if I find it I'll probably be the first one to give up! haha
Steph, I'd be a little worried about now.All this pacing kind of resembles a pack of shifters circling their prey. LOL. Better come up with a good distraction soon . . . Hint: I bet lists of names would be really distracting. ;D
Looks like Steph is still waiting on a couple of reply's before she can finalise teams. I want to know who I'm playing with! Sunday's my wedding anniversary too :)

Good question, and probably not!
Pitching my tent and opening the bag of cheese corn. Within minutes hands are now a glowing orange. Bits of cheese corn sprinkles have fallen around me. (I really am eating cheese corn right now on my lunch hour) I am betting I can out eat anyone on cheese corn. Better yet anyone from Chicago out there who could supply cheese caramel corn....
I will end up being taken away on a stretcher if that stuff comes out. Seriously sounds weird but OMG!!! for me it is like Chocolate...
So I was up way too early this morning. Gotta get back to work. Hoping I'm not on the orange team cause I'm not liking the color on my fingers...
Luv to all...Cant wait!!!

I think maybe part of the reason we're starting on Sunday is cuz we're all going to make Steph crazy if we have to wait longer. Haha.*takes a long slurp of a blue raspberry slushy*
Ack, brain freeze!
I dunno, I think they could keep going until we started the game. Unless we distracted them with something else.
Zaanodes, you just had to break out the chocolate, didn't you? Now I want some cake. Haha.
Congrats on the wedding anniversary, Michelle.

Have they noticed yet? I like the hot pink tail that we put on....
Dang...I didn't think she would see it yet.
Hmmm...join the pacing...tent full of food...Will someone please pass the Chicago mix? Who knew caramel and cheese would go so well together!
Music, anyone? Get them pacing to a beat??
Tunes...good call Zaanodes....need to keep them motivated....how about... If I could walk 500 hundred miles...or some 80s tunes....
@Zina-Ha! That was totally my thought too!Should our tunes have a PNR/UF theme? We could try
Hungry Like the Wolf Duran Duran
Private Eyes Hall and Oats
Magic Mike Smiley
Thriller Michael Jackson
Ghostbusters Ray Parker, Jr.
Danger Zone Kenny Logins
I think The Time Warp from Rocky Horror would be strangely appropriate as well. ;P
I'm totally on the DJ piece of this! We are having an e-party, whoot!
Sorry, hun, you were, but accidentally. You are #32.

I'm so sorry, Nici. I accidentally overlooked Rachel's post, which was made before yours.
I can put you on the back-up list, if you'd like.
Sorry about the mix-up, ladies!
