LR said…
Ha, good ones! Yes no 7 would be nice.

Laura Eno said…
I love these! #7 would be very cool. #2 can be cringeworthy as a participant.

Liza said…
Could be I'm participating in #2 right now!

I like the Book Put for when the book is not very good and I "Put" it across the room.

Fun stuff, Carol.

Great list, Carol. Can we add a #11? I've been training heard for the procrastinator's pentathlon.

Luanne G. Smith said…
Great list. I'll be going for the gold on the 100 word dash later today. :)

Jennie Bennett said…
I need to crack my knuckles and work on that 100 word dash today :)
August 3, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Johanna Garth said…
Those were so cute. I'm glad it's only 100 word dash. I can do that, it's the 2000 word dash that leaves me a little tired.
