24 Glorious Hours of Reading

Dude, am I like the not so brightest bulb on the string or what? Because I’ve been flitting along all crying in my cocoa because I was thinking I couldn’t participate in the awesomeness that is Dewey’s Read-a-Thon along with, like, the whole entire book-o-sphere. Then yesterday, the fabulousness that is Deborah, Swapna, and Jenn finally got through the dimness that I was wrong about the timing.
See, here I was thinking that the Read-a-Thon is this coming weekend (the 17th) but in reality it’s the weekend after (the 24th)! You know what this means right? It means instead of watering down the aforementioned cocoa I’m going to be all reading and eating and blogging and playing mini-challenge games with everyone.
YAY! Go me!
So, this here is my official Read-a-Thon entry post. I’ll be following this up with a post about what I might be reading and sooner than that (like in the next couple of hours) I’ll be rockin’ the blog with a post about the virtual slumber party I’m gonna be hosting!

Awww. . . At least you now know that the read-a-thon isn’t for another two weeks. Can’t wait to see your pile.

Yay! I’m glad it’s not t his coming weekend, too. I thought it was going to be, and it’s my son’s birthday and his party this weekend, so I’d have to skip. I was ecstatic to find out it was the week afterwards!

I made the same discovery last week, and I was thrilled
, especially since I could have SWORN the Read-a-thon was on the 17th and I have a prior commitment. But it’s not – it’s on the 24th! This is the first time it’s been scheduled for a weekend when I can participate, and I’m looking forward to it. Sounds like you are too!

LOL. I wish it was this weekend! I’m visiting my brother so am on vacation and would have some people to help distract my daughter. Ah well. Maybe when Kaitlyn gets older and more able to amuse herself I’ll be able to do this. Have fun.

This is my first time doing a read-a-thon, and while I’m a little nervous and a little intimidated, I’m really excited! I won’t be starting until at least 11am (I have a client at 9 that morning), but I plan on buckling down and hitting the books as soon as I get home. I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you a little better and cheering everyone on!
