Miscellaneous comments:
*Well, I napped for 65 minutes, then got back up to finish out the last two hours. Glad I did! But I wish I'd have gotten up 15 minutes earlier, because then I would have finished my book. I've got 9 pages to go.
*Thanks again to everyone who dropped in and cheered Annie and I on. It truly meant a lot to us!
*And while I'm very happy to have put 698 pages to rest, I'm still a bit envious of Annie who knocked out a little over twice that.

Congratulations on finishing the Read-a-Thon! You did great!

And congrats to Annie too - she must devour books!

Well done to both of you!

Congrats on finishing the Read-A-Thon! One of these days I would really love to particapate. But I don't ever seem to have the time. Besides, yesterday Chad had a JFL game...and it was 50 miles away. That alone wiped out 5 hours of my day....between the driving, freezing my buns off on a metal bleacher....and all the work it took me to drag him out of bed in the wee hours of the morning!!

Tell Annie I said Congrats too!

Glad you were able to get back up and read for a little bit--but 9 pages!!! You did such a great job and should be very proud of the accomplishments! And I need to take a note from you about time...I guess I spent too much time on the computer instead of in front of the books... eeeks! oh well, wouldn't have it any other way.

Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. It really meant a lot and I looked forward to seeing your blog updates and comments on my reading breaks. :)
