    Congrats on being reader of the hour!! I’m so glad you reached your goal. That’s quite an accomplishment. I’m not quite at 500 pages yet, but soon. I think I lack 20 pages or so. I’m like you though-fading fast! Please try to stick in there Wendy, I’m trying my darndest.

    Ok…apparently sleep deprivation is taking hold. I re-read Dewey’s 21 hour post and it said you won the reader of the hour comment challenge thing, not that you ARE reader of the hour. Oh man…see? Told you I’m fading!
