Hello PEEPS!

That's right, I'm comparing you to marshmallow chicks. But they're cute and sweet and they multiply! I'm all about the math!

So, we're countable hours out from our first count of the year! Make sure you update your numbers before I wake up Monday morning!!!! GO DO! Or maybe get some more projects done and then update. ;)

And Rare Pairs month comes to an end on Sunday night as well! I finally have an idea so there will be words from me this weekend, and once that's done I'll get a round up post together.

LET'S DO THIS!!! One more word for 2016 breaks down to average 1.3 million a month. LET'S DO THIS!!!

I did it! It was all hand-written while my son and his friends played mini-golf yesterday, and I've yet to type it up, but 954 words counted also by hand, so WOOT! DONE! And that's half of your Danny/Charlie rare pair, My Queen! ;-)

For the last few days of January, I'm assigning days, so if we could do it like this, just report in (here or in separate posts, everyone; whatever works for you) when you're done:

Today, the 28th for most of you: tkeylasunset

Friday 29th: flyingharmony and slashluv18

Sat 30th: csichick_2 and erinm_4600

Sun 31st: weakmoments and agdhani

Go for it, everyone - make up those fantastic word counts I know you're capable of! ENJOY! ;-)
