* So Saturday I participated in the 24 hour read at thon but I only made it 16 hours. Around 12:30 A. M. today I gave out.
* Friday was my 27th birthday and my sister and I went shopping and ate at the mall food court. We love the french fries at Steak Escape.
I don't feel any different for being officially another year older. Maybe a little depressed because I have not accomplished as much as I want too.
* Today(Sunday) I plan on doing laundry and cleaning up the house. I also have two review books for this week that have not been read yet. And I might be going to dinner with my Dad and sister. :)

I actually participated in the read-a-thon, but unofficially. I guess I was afraid that something would interfere, so I didn't want to commit to it. I ended up reading for about 11 hours altogether, but not straight through.
Here's my salon:

Can't imagine a 24-hour stretch. But I suppose with a gripping book it should be possible.
You might want to try Rohinton Mistry's works the next time.
16 hours is a *lot*. I don't think I could last that long. I had a migraine on Saturday and missed the event I planned on attending, so I stayed in bed and read a little and managed to finish 2 books. That was about all the sitting I could stand.
So . . . Happy Belated Birthday, Brittanie!!! I have never had Steak Escape fries. Did you go to Northpark?
When I was 27, my father died and my mother found out she had cancer 2 months later. Don't worry about accomplishments. Enjoy your family. You're still young and the economy will improve. You have plenty of time to shoot for your dreams.
Lots of love and hugs to you!!!
16 hours is great! The only time I've ever done 24 was the first time. I think I was pumped with adrenaline because I was so excited. Happy birthday!
