Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Thanks Cathie :) I can't wait, haven't seen them since Easter which is a long time for me!!

Claire, have a great weekend! And yay! About the house :)

I'm going put new tires on the car this morning and my youngest two girls and I are going to Hubs's for a long weekend. Lauren leaves for Disney world today. So we'll be home mid-week before she gets back :)

Good idea about the tires, Susan. Have a safe journey. �

Thanks, Lisa Kay! Honestly, I'm horrible with vehicle maintenance. Jenna's boyfriend pointed out I might want to check the tires lol

Yeah, men do that. Bless them.

Have a great weekend ladies :)

Made it home safe, finally! Only an hour late on the train and did get slightly worried about missing the last train home! Everyone was pleased to see me though, even the dog and cat! Have a great weekend :)

I wish I could catch a train and go see my parents . to do so I have to fly across the world (21 to 24 flight).
Have fun Claire

That is so neat, Claire! Have a wonderful week-end.

For ShoSho - and me - (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

**Sniff sniff**

Thanks , needed that!

� (((Cyber Hugs))) ShoSho.

Oh hugs to ShoSho and LK :( Hope you have a great weekend anyway :)

Spreadsheet for the challenge is in progress, it's here: if you want to have a look and comment?

Looks good Claire! Didn't they add another spell it out?

Ignore me. It was that they added NBRC :)

Oh! We can spell SEVEN UP!

I'll add the books we're planning on reading this afternoon once I've stopped browsing for furniture!! :)

The Spreadsheet looks good Claire!

I love furniture shopping!

~ For August the Mods are Taking the Month Off

...and Letting You Do the All the Work ~

Team Captains, Co-Captains and Team Members may create and submit their own challenge for Book Advantage Points.

It may be one of your previous mini-challenges, or one in the works.

The challenge must last two weeks, you decide when in August.

Each Team will do their own challenge that they created.

Please submit your ideas, detailing your goals and time period by July 26th for review.

We will look them all over before deciding upon the number of Book Advantage Points to be given. We may then ask you to tweak your challenge a bit to make it equal in ease or difficulty, depending on what the other Teams are doing.

HINT: Think light, easy, breezy, and FUN!

~ Frequently Asked Questions -

Q1. "We're feeling really lazy. May we just copy another Team's idea?"

A1. Definitely. Just give credit where credit is due.

Q2. "Should we use the cupcakes in some way?"

A2. While there will be cupcakes offered to win during your Teams' challenge period, we will save using them for future months.

Aaahhh!!! More to think about :D

just finshed

Was the audio well narrated, Kme_17? I used to listening to spiritual CDs when I used to run. I should pop one in and start walking again. (I know I can't run. LOL!)

I'm only posting this in your Team's thread because...well, you'll see:

Re: The Sunday Update.

Each week we keep thinking it is going to get easier. Alas, this week-end was a holiday week-end, so that might have had something to do with it.

Out of 16 teams, 15 of us had errors, the Mod Team included � and with the Mod Account! Now, guaranteed one on Moonstone was new and hasn't even been signed up for 24 hours, but still.

We sent PMs to a lot of you; some issues were still from previous weeks. Some of you received PM’s, some didn’t, depending on the issue.

Atomic Tangerine is the only team without errors. They are consistent in this regard, with only one week in seven updates that required attention.

Because of this, we are rewarding them with an extra “cupcake� for each week they have been problem free. That equals six cupcakes .

Wooohoooo!!! Yeah for us Team Atomic Tangerine!! :-)

And a big shout out to the Moderators for recognizing that our Captain Claire rocks at keeping us in order and reporting what we are doing!!

Thank you Claire, oh awesome team leader! :-)

I have finished The Long Earth and If Looks Could Kill.

These obviously will count towards next week's spreadsheet tally total; I am not messing up this week's cupcakes!! lol

LMBO! No, you're not, Cathie. It is posted already. LOL! So, if you want to "tag" it, go ahead.

"tag it" ?? Sorry, I don't understand?

I already put these on my shelf for this challenge in the last couple of days; maybe Claire already counted them in. I just forgot to report in this discussion thread that I had finished them.

Woooohooooo captain Claire :D You Rock !

Thank you dear mods :)

it means to add it to the shelf :)

WTG team!!! Captain Claire ROCKS!!!!!!

Now, what are the cupcakes for??????

hi Robin!!

Well, ♥Robin�, for the 7% Solution Challenge 7 of them will = 1 book you can replace in any category.

Atomic Tangerine is the only Team with one Captain, too. Well Pewter Blue and Cadet Blue do, but they were recently split apart and put back together for the 7% Solution Challenge.

Wow!! Go us!

Thanks everyone, I couldn't do it if you weren't such a great team, you don't cause any problems :)

Cathie, don't worry, I counted it ;)

Yay us!

If I snuck around on other team threads and got the right info LOL we are in between two blue teams for the color portion of the 7% Challenge.

thanks Claire :-)

Sorry Susan, but I'm not understanding what you said in msg 741? Color portion?

I believe she means the Team ahead of you, and behind you, Cathie, on the Sunday Update: B'dazzled Blue and Pewter Blue, respectively.

Ahhh, thanks for the clarification :-)

Yep, that's what I meant :) thanks for making that clear for me :)

ok, so I have looked and looked and seem to have misplaced the spreadsheet link that shows us who is in front of us and who is behind us...anyone have the link handy?

I have gone to the main page and can't seem to find it...probably looking too hard, lol!

It's here Cathie.
