Those are great! All for number seven.
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'm exhausted just reading about the events.
Carol Kilgore said…
Linda G and Delores - Grab an energy bar and keep going!

Alex and LR - We can dream :)

Laura and Liza - Each one gets higher!
Anne Gallagher said…
I like the Book Put for when the book is not very good and I "Put" it across the room.

Fun stuff, Carol.
Slamdunk said…
This list is timely! Have a good weekend Carol.
VR Barkowski said…
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 :)
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.
