Oil level too high

I checked the oil a couple of days ago and it looked to be half a quart short while warm. I topped it off with about three quarter of a quart and now noticed a spot of oil about where the breather hose ends up (supermodeled car...).
I checked oil again, cold this time and it is over the full mark (aaahhhhh).
Stupid me overfilled the oil. Should I worry, get it sucked off or just wait until it gets blown out or burnt up?

Seriously - Too much oil (or - as we say down south...Too much "EARL") is not a good thing - suck some off.
Remember - checking the oil just after running, it has not all drained back in the pan.

If you have a mityvac and some small tubing - you might try sticking the tubing down the dipstick tube.
