Read-a-thon: Update Hour 5-6

It isn't really clear from the picture, but I have donned my A&M Maroon Out shirt in honor of my Aggies. The thumbs up is my saying GIG EM!! :) I'm always really excited because I finished my first book.

A note on comments: I'm not subscribing to follow up comments and won't be doing any follow up comments on my blog. BUT I LOVE YOUR COMMENTS!! You guys truly are awesome and make my day. Debi--I'M still grinning from ear to ear!! And for all of those who think Trish is being all healthy? Ha! I have ice cream, chicken salad, honey roasted peanuts, crackers and cheese dip, twizzlers, chex mix, etc for later in the day. :) I did get some pre-cut fruit to balance things, but who wants health food today?? Ha!!

So where do I stand since the last update?

I like the quote. And no, I couldn't sleep. As I can't read either, I better visit other readers!

LOL!
