Hours 7&8: Read-a-Thon Progress

April 18th, 2009

Well Buddy and I went for a walk, almost got blown away but managed to make it back. Shortly thereafter he decided he’d had enough of this reading and he was going to make his displeasure a little more apparant. Here is a picture of him and in it he is practically under my elbow which is why his head looks so big-lol. This is his I’m ticked off now look and I’m going to become a royal pain in the butt to get your attention look.


That didn’t work so well so he proceeded to the floor and stared and did his cute little whining thing. As you can see he really needs to be brushed. I can always threaten him with that if he doesn’t quit bugging me. lol~It always works for a while. Anyhow, the whining worked a little better. I went and took him outside again, fed him and then he came and curled up with me again. He currently has his head hanging off the side of the bed.


p.s. Don’t mind the mess behind Buddy. lol.

And the update…

  • Pages Read: 42
  • Page Count to Date: 204
  • Time Spent Reading: Not sure
  • Time Spent Blogging: None until now
  • Blogs Visited: Just going to do that

Well I’ve decided to take Trish’s advice and just have fun. It’s clearly not going to be about how much I read today so I’m accepting that. I’m going to visit a bit and then read some more.

I’m still working on Mistress of the Sun and will probably stick with it some more. It’s good. Ok, off to do some visiting.

    your dog is so cute! mine is not very happy with me either right now. he feels ignored (I guess sitting on my lap all morning isn’t enough lol) he is sitting outside whatever room i am currently in, whining at me. who do you think the boss around here is? ;D

  5. Trish says:

    so precious!!

    And yay! It is all about the fun. Some people are reading tons and tons of pages, but I’m guessing they aren’t really interacting either. I hope you do continue to have fun, Dar. Just wait until after minute! Eeeks!

    Yay I love the pics of Buddy, such a sweetheart! I’ve been on a reading break for about an hour now and I’m having so much fun visiting everyone’s updates. So I’ve decided not to stress about how much I get read, instead I just want to enjoy things :)

    Glad to hear you’re having a great day!

  12. Elizabeth says:

    As long as you are having fun, that’s what counts. I have a little furry friend that gets mad when I read, too. =)

    Keep it up!!

  13. bethany says:

    your little doggie is so sweet! I love animal pictures :)

    You are doing a fine job, keep it up!

  14. Ti says:

    I love your Buddy posts! I am sort of losing track of pages read. Sort of doesn’t seem important to me. The joy of reading is enough but for the rest of today I am going to try and track it and then next time I may skip that part.

  15. bermudaonion says:

    It's definitely all about the fun. You should have gotten a book for Buddy – maybe Marley & Me?

  16. Diane says:

    Congrats to you; You are doing great, and that Buddy of yours is adorable.

  17. Gwendolyn B. says:

    Good! Just have fun! And Buddy is adorable! (Is there an echo in here?)

  18. Luanne says:

    He does look a little po’d. Especially in the first pic – I think it’s in the set of his mouth!

  19. Maree says:

    Oh, he is too cute!!! I hope you’re still having fun :)

  20. Bandit Jack says:

    buddy! your mom is going to brush you, quick get away while you have a chance!!!!

  21. Obsessed Reader says:

    Aw, your doggy is just too cute!! And, yes, this should definitely be FUN!!! Enjoy it!!

  22. Red lady-Bonnie says:

    you’re dog is just so darn cute. love the pictures of your books in various piles around your couch. Feels like home.

  25. Serena says:

    I love your dog…he’s adorable…though I suspect he’s like mine…he knows it and uses it to his advantage!

    I met my goals for read-a-thon…i finished the book I need to review on Tuesday and I had fun…that was the most important thing.

    I think its a good perspective to have.

  26. Dar says:

    Buddy says thank you again for the compliments. His head was reeling from all of them. lol.

    I did have fun even though I didn’t get a lot read. I did a lot of visiting and that was fun too.

    Thanks for the support everyone!
