I'll see to it that you, M...NERDS!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I'll see to it that you, Melissa Q ******** are incapable of reading on said day. In fact, I'm going to put a giant steaming pile of kimchi and sauerkraut in your precious reading corner (wherever that may now be), disable all forms of heating to the house or apartment in which you now stay, sing and/or hum the theme song from Disney's "Robin Hood" and recite the first several hundred thousand digits to pi through a megaphone, placed mere inches from your face. And then I'll give you hugs and tell you how much you're my flavourite little sister. <br />As for you other nerds, enjoy your nerdery while you can, 'cause you're all next... <br /><br /><br />P.S. The word verification to this was gorter. Google now even knows the name of my as-yet unborn daughter!

Then I read the ones I borrowed from people. Then I can get to the ones I own. Good luck with the readathon. I wish I could join in, but I like to do family things on the weekends, especially since there won't be too many good weather days left before the dreaded snow. Maybe they should have the readathon in January instead. There doesn't seem to be too much happening in January.

That is all I have to do outside of the home, but it is a 5 hour party! I would go home and then go back, but I don't know.
