I wouldn't make it through even one of those dreadful neverending games of Monopoly that would inevitably have no real winner but for the person for whom boredom is no obstacle! Can you believe I have people that I call friends who would actually subject me to such torture simply in the name of *fun*? (Say, can you tell I'm not much for Monopoly?)<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, good luck with all your challenges! Hope you meet with much success, but even if you don't, at least neither of us will have to play any Monopoly! =DMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-79563785134873049502009-01-03T18:31:00.000-08:002009-01-03T18:31:00.000-08:00Irish - There's always the TBR Lite Challenge.
