(Sorry for the reappearance of this post in your feed reader…I deleted my blog Sunday night.  The nice guy at Bluehost restored it, but I have to add back a few posts. And sadly, the comments on this disappeared. But it’s a small price to pay for the reappearance of my blog!!)

The winner of the Musical Mini-Challenge is Lexi, from The Amazing Adulthood of Alexis.  Woo-hoo!! (Shoot me an email Lexi, and we’ll discuss your choice of gift card.) Lexi’s choice was “On My Own” from Les Mis. I haven’t watched all the videos yet, but I will over the few days. Fun stuff! Thanks to everyone for playing along!

Since I’m about to sign off from my cheerleading duties, I’ll leave you with a final song (which some of you have seen already…sorry). Since the Time Warp is a classic (well, for some of us), here it is revised for the read-a-thon:

It’s astounding, time is fleeting
Reading takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
You’ve almost met the goal

I remember doing the Read-a-thon
During those moments when
The blackness would hit me and sleep would be calling
Let’s do the readathon again…
Let’s do the readathon again!

It’s just a book in your hand
And then a flip of the page
With your eyes on the words
You let your mind engage
But it’s the cheerleaders that really drive you insane,
Let’s do the readathon again!

Your book is dreamy, or hot and steamy
It stars a banshee, or no one at all
It’s in another dimension, there’s no comprehension
Oh no, there’s none at all
With a bit of a page flip
You’re suddenly on a space ship
And nothing can ever be the same
You’re strung out on cookies, you sound like a Wookie
Let’s do the readathon again!

Well I was strolling through the bookstore just havin’ a look
When what should I espy but my next book
It shook me up, it took me by surprise
It had a sale tag and Care gave it 5 pies.
It lured me in and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let’s do the readathon again!

Catchy, no?  :-D
