Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon: Hour Nine

So I really am getting started now.  I've only read for about an hour, and that was the audio book that took me to and from the AP test this morning and to run a couple of errands.  Can I tell you that I really did mean to jump in and start reading, but when I looked around the house, it was SO MESSY that I couldn't settle down.

No worries.  The house is now clean.  The bathrooms are clean; the floors are swept, mopped, and vacuumed, and the laundry is laundering as I type.  NOW I can settle in.  I know this about myself, so why don't I don't I clean up before I start one of these things?

Well, I'm finally off to read--for real.  I graded a nice, hefty stack of papers this morning, so I am more than ready to read.  Now, what should I read?  I can't decide...

Stats So Far


Hours Read:  1--kind of.
Books Read:  0--but I'm going to remedy that.
Essays Graded:  15!!!--Trust me.  That's good.
Houses Cleaned:  1 Very, Very messy house.
Snacks:  1 Awesome Red Velvet Cupcake from The Sweet Tooth Fairy!  Yum.

    If I waited til after the cleaning was done to read, I'd never read. LOL!

    Hope you found a great book to jump into reading!

      Too funny Megan. LOL. I felt that way, so I couldn't handle it! Honestly though, I just did floors and bathrooms. That scratched the surface, but made it so I could concentrate on reading again. What a silly I am!

    Wish I had a day to devote to reading; it just never works out. Audio books are are great way to break things up a bit. Enjoy

    What a great idea to plan ahead and get the things done that are going to distract me the entire time I'm trying to read. I NEVER get as much reading done as I think I will because I'm so busy thinking about what I should be doing. Now you've got a clean house AND you got to read guilt-free!
