24-Hour Read-a-Thon: Update #4 (12 Hours In)

DSC_0730

Here are my stats thus far:

Reading: I finished Cheerful Weather for the Wedding. It wasn’t at ALL what I expected it to be. It was good but I guess I was expecting “cheerful” and that is not what I got. After a short stretch (sitting in one place for too long makes me crabby), I grabbed The Return.

Books Completed so far: Cheerful Weather for a Wedding

Nibbly Foods Eaten: None! I had those tacos three hours ago and all I’ve had since is water. Getting ready to throw dinner together though. Debating between spaghetti (easy) and soup (easier).

Random Tidbits: My kids are out of control today! I had to resort to the garage for peace and quiet. You see, the garage is somewhat soundproof with all the fireproofing, etc. I managed to get a good chunk of uninterrupted reading time in. My headache is also gone. Thanks for the well wishes. I will take a shortish break to blog-hop a bit and then eat and then I am hitting the reading trail again.

Ti’s Comfy Factor (5 being comfy): 4 as I have a comfy chair in the garage that I had planned to sell but maybe not. It’s proven to be quite useful today.

Next Update: My next update should be around 8pm (Pacific).

24-Hour Read-a-Thon: Update #3 (9 Hours In)

Here are my stats thus far:

Reading: Almost done with Cheerful Weather for the Wedding. I may switch back to The Return when I’m done or I might pick up In the Time of the Butterflies. Not sure what my mood will be yet.

Nibbly Foods Eaten: I took a break for lunch and had tacos! YUM!! My fave food ever.

Random Tidbits: Due to my lunch break, my page count is down but I’ll make it up. Also, thanks to everyone that has commented thus far! I found out that I was the Reader of the Hour which explained the 40 something emails that hit my inbox. The kids are not being too kind to me today. I have a bit of a headache and just popped some meds as the bickering is at a all-time high. Why do kids do that? They sense that it’s not all about them and wham! They are difficult!

Ti’s Comfy Factor (5 being comfy): 3 due to crushing pain within my skull. Nah, not that bad but I felt like being dramatic.

Next Update: My next update should at 5pm (Pacific).
