UPDATED SCORING--the lead has changed!!

OMG!! The scores are posted and Rob has taken the lead--Well played, Rob.  Sharing your stories during the voting section was a VERY smart strategy.  Well, at least I fell for it….and I kind of want to know more, especially about that Jessica on the balcony story…don't leave me hanging.  Lesson to the rest of you, Lentertain me and you will be rewarded.

OMG!! again--The blog is well over 80,000 hits--Thank you all very, very much, especially you, Karla.  I owe you one…and will buy you a great big cocktail at the blog reunion...

Here is the explanation for the scoring: 

Voting (which was once again DOMINATED by Judy) was scored as follows: 

• Judy got 50 points because she cannot be stopped.  She killed all comers in the votes and pretty much single-handedly is making the ticker count.
• Rob got 30 points because he had several votes and used the voting section so, so wisely
• Jessica got 20 points, mostly thanks to Rob, and I loved the Jessica stories. 
• Everyone else who got any votes got 10 points.  You're welcome. 

Extra Credit: 500 whopping extra credit points were awarded as follows: 

• 25 went to Judy for her voters and their amazing powers
• 25 went to John because he makes me laugh
• 50 went to Rob for his incredibly entertaining stories--keep them coming
• 100 went to Sue E because she is on the road, but captioning and voting and her dedication impressed the heck out of me. 
• 100 went to Jessica for bringing Rob into this contest. 
• 100 went to Tricia because the Judy voter comment was a beauty and should have gotten more votes
• 100 went to Ginny because her Leprechaun comment was just so nice. 
•  

There you have it. The tension builds, the Tory Burch is gift wrapped (by Tory Burch--not me) and ready for the winner, we are winding this whole shebang up and I cannot wait to see how it ends.  TOP TEN from the nuns having fun photo will be up later tonight--then Karla will start to vote and could very well catapult Judy into the winner's circle. Stay tuned and keep it all Lentertaining...
