Frame of Mind: I'm sleepy - despite (or maybe because of) a half-hour nap. I think I'm too old to stay up all night! My fifteen-year-old daughter is keeping me company right now, which is nice. I guess time will tell how much more read-a-thon I've got in me.

Some elf sandwich cookies.

So fun to see you still up--I am going to be doing a cold face wash in few minutes--and my 16 year old Sam is keeping me awake. I have really struggled with sleepiness all day and should have taken an afternoon nap instead of one at 9:30 PM. But we are pressing on--taking a Wimpy Kid book break helped a little bit. I loved your snack list-at first I thought, dang, she is eating so healthy and then I noticed the repeated mention of German Chocolate Brownies! LOL! Sam just saw popcorn on your list and said it sounds good right now--I am thinking a bowl may be in my immediate future right after we finish this dark chocolate candy bar! Keep it up--you can do it!

I love Coke & Lime, but it's almost impossible to find in Korea. You're doing a great job, staying up so long.
ReplyDeleteMmmm... Thai Curry Soup and German Chocolate Brownies! Yum!
ReplyDeleteJust dropping by for a quick cheer to get you through to the end! You can do it!

I love that you are reading with your 15 year old!! I have a 5 year old and a 2.5 year old - I hope one day they will love reading as much as I do and want to do a read-a-thon with me!! I bet they stay up better than I do! :) I think my 2.5 year old only needs a couple of hours of sleep! I love the idea of spinich artichoke dip - I love it and think it would be perfect for the read-a-thon!!
ReplyDeleteThe read-a-thon is so much fun. I always look forward to participating, especially in the Fall!
