I'm here hehehe! And to think I ALMOST forgot about it and went to the park! No such luck!
ReplyDeleteAnd welcome! You are quick! Give your kids my regards(and thanks).
ReplyDeleteHi Tina! One of them is taking a nap, so I'm off the hook (kind of)...that is if my daughter can keep herself occupied with dolls!
ReplyDeleteI think this is going to be a hard one...I don't really get the "May" thing- and I don't follow many blogs of 'debut' authors. I hope Google can help me out!
ReplyDeleteGoogle's totally on your side!!!
ReplyDeleteDena--well, you're getting so good, we have to try to stump you somehow!!
ReplyDeleteJeff signing in! First time playing, I'm excited!
ReplyDeleteYay Jeff! First clue posted, and away we go!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to you!!! A challenger! Looking forward to some action here!
ReplyDeleteDone! woot! Anxiously waiting on the next clue...
ReplyDeleteYou have some serious skills or Google is totally on your side!!
ReplyDeleteit's all Google...seriously! No skills here
ReplyDeleteDena--I think you just broke a WIBIJ record! You're going to have to give WIBIJ instruction for all the rookies!
ReplyDeleteI don't know that squirrel reference if pretty skillful!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I should be handing out refreshments here at the tent. Dena, would you like some popcorn? Maybe you can feed the elephant some peanuts while you wait?
ReplyDeleteWay to go, H. Where, oh where, are my hosting skills?
ReplyDeleteFinished with the first clue!
ReplyDeleteYay, Jeff, in the nick of time! And with a gorilla suit...
ReplyDeleteJeff--Nice!
ReplyDeleteI'll take some popcorn!
ReplyDeleteDude, this game is considerably harder than the other's. Jon, you're bringing the heat!
We did decide to step up a notch. I'm glad you're still figuring everything out.
ReplyDeleteSecond clue solved... bam! (sorry I can get a little competitive)
ReplyDeleteI'm worried I won't really get the phrase...I still don't see where it's going!
ReplyDeleteBring it, Jeff, Finally someone to give Dena a run for her money!!
ReplyDeleteYou both are clearly up for the task!
ReplyDeleteIT'S GO TIME, JEFF!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!
ReplyDeleteI like this game a lot! I'm glad I could actually make this one. So what I had to cut out of work a few minutes early
ReplyDeleteOk Jeff. None of this getting to the blogs before me. That's just not cool.
ReplyDeleteJeff--I love your dedication!
ReplyDeleteThis is an exciting race!
ReplyDeleteGot to this one before you too! Although... I think I was at an advantage.
ReplyDeleteJeff--we'll keep why you had an advantage a well kept secret :) until the game closes tomorrow, but good show!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, but apparently what comes around goes around! Welcome back to the tent, Jeff! What a fun race!
ReplyDeleteFun fun fun! I hope I got the phrase right?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that was much harder guys. Well done!
Yay, Dena. Thanks for being here!! The tent would be so lonely without you!!
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo, Dena and Jeff! We'll unveil the winner Friday, when we give out awards, and do the recap! But, great game all around!!
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWell, and that was all for the fast section of our race. And here the tent is left in a shambles, popcorn strewn about. But those of you out for a slower race should head out and check on the beauties in store for you! These are some wonderful and some wonderful comments. Thanks to Jeff and Dena for the adrenaline rush. Now we better put some of that energy in our wips!
ReplyDeleteWe have a snow day, so I've got four kids to occupy...hmmm...I don't think they'll be willing to play this game, so maybe I'll see you around next time?
ReplyDeleteYou all are loads of fun. And who is this Jeff person crankin through here?!
Anita--oh, my goodness. It is 80 degrees in New England. I am in a bathing suit with my feet in the baby pool. It's unseasonably hot here. And, we'd love to have you whenever you get a chance. (Oh, and my son likes to play WIBIJ--last time he even unscrambled the phrase correctly!) Good luck on your snow day!
ReplyDeleteAnita- I can't wait until you play a round! March is usually the snowiest month in Minnesota and we got none this year (although the rest of the year we had a lot). Hope you and yours are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteH- Such pictures in my head!
I'm off! Got the first one done. I know I didn't win, so I guess I have to come up with some clever comments!
ReplyDeleteGo, Kelly! I cannot wait until I read them.
ReplyDeleteI think I got it! I wasn't as clever with the responses though. I"ll just be happy to be in the contest completed section!
ReplyDeleteKelly--Nice, fast run--way to go. And I'm sure the comments are fab.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing!
Aw...dang it!! I missed it. Absentminded frog. Looked like fun.
ReplyDeleteHey -- sorry all - I couldn't play this week. Way too busy at my "real" job...which unfortunately isn't writing my novel. Hope to see you next week!
ReplyDeleteSuch is life, right? Thanks for stopping in--we clearly weren't working on the novel either! See you next time! Yay!
