Hours 13,14, 15&16: Read-a-Thon Progress

April 19, 2009 by Darlene

Well it’s getting late now. I’m about to go check out a few blogs but thought I’d check in. It’s almost 11:30 here and I’ve probably got a few good hours left in me yet. I’ve gone to bed though so that can be dangerous. Buddy is in la-la land, happy as can be finally. lol.

  • Pages Read: 105
  • Pages to Date: 339
  • Time Spent Reading: 2 hours in between watching tv
  • Time Spent Blogging: none, just going to do that now
  • Blogs visited: just going visiting
I started Too Hot to Handle by Robin Kaye and that’s the one I should have started with and my page count would have been much higher. Probably about 3 pages in this one equal one in Mistress of the Sun. Oh well, no big deal. I wanted to make a dent in the books I’m reading and I did.

I didn’t really pig out on all those snackies either-sad hey. I did have a box of Smarties–Joanne and Trish, they are my absolute favorite too! I like them when I’m reading because I can eat them slow and then I don’t end up eating too much sugar. I did eat my bbq hoopy things-those are dangerous. Open the bag and inhale. Other than that I had a bottle of water, a diet pepsi and some tea. Still having the tea.

So, I’m off to see how everyone is doing. I would imagine it’s about 1:30 where most of you are. I bet Trish and Laura are still up and trying to read. lol. Thanks so much to all who have been leaving comments! It really means a lot to have that support and a smile along the way when you’re doing this.

    Good luck finishing the Read-a-Thon — going to bed sounds great 🙂

    Ooooh, dreaming of smarties. Wait! I just remembered I have cadbury minis. Not quite as good, but they have kind of the same crunchy shell (M&Ms just don't compare).

    I'm up I'm up!!! 😛 It will start to get quiet, though.

    How about a cheer?

    READ
    READ HARD
    COME ON
    TAKE CHARGE
    DAR!

    Ya, I know…

    congratulations – hope you had fun! I guess we’ve still got 6 hrs; but it sure feels like time is slowing down… CHEERS!

    Yum, Smarties. I am trying to stay out of the package of Oreos.

    Good luck with the rest of your reading!

    I’ve already eaten all of my snacks! Oops. Well I think it’s too late to eat anything else anyways…don’t want a tummy ache! It’s good you’ve found something to read quickly! It’s fun to see those page numbers increasing! Hurray Dar!!

    I am taking a break from reading even though I’m enjoying The Uncommon Reader. So tempted to turn out the light. Shoot, if I laid down, it would be over before the count. LOL!

    Keep going Dar – do a reading/visiting blogs combo, as your eyes get tired visit blogs it wakes your brain up.

    Emmy’s always happy when I’m in bed too. She curls up in the crook of my arm.

    I hope your enjoying yourself! The Smarties sound like a good idea. Though I like dark chocolate. I like to suck on one squasre at a time, like it’s hard candy. I don’t need much when I eat it that way.

    You go girl!

    You did a great job! I hope your headache went away. I can’t say I was as good with the snacks, but I blame that on Serena for making a cheesecake and leaving it here! LOL
