Tee hee. I remember now. You talking about Speak is what inspired me actually. <br /><br />Lan, Yeah, I need a few more soccer posts but I fear people will be too bored. There's no way I can read that many books I just plan on working on each of them through out the day and seeing how far I get. <br /><br />Sarah, You should join us!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-88095522473650600872011-10-20T16:50:41.860-06:002011-10-20T16:50:41.860-06:00Fun!!!

I also find it amusing that you thought the place with Caib fishihg, on my blog is pretty and you haven't beeen there. Because when we did the reunion here and we camped on Thousand Lake Mountain we all went to that very spot and played in the water.

Though maybe buying a black couch with a perpetually shedding cat wasn't one of my brighter ideas. I can't read and watch soccer at the same time! Not if I want to enjoy the hotness. ;) <br /><br />Dana, Yay!

But, I had been seeing posts about read-a-thons lately and I almost forgot about the ones I had in elementary school. They were so FUN! It makes me want to do one again. Maybe not 24 hours... but probably 12. ;)<br /><br />Hope you have fun! Even though Speak is a pretty serious read, there is still some humor in the way Melinda views the world around her.Jessica L.
