I finally got the upstairs looking like someone actually lives there. It no longer looks like a storage unit, but actual rooms! whee!

Of course, I did wait until the last possible time on my four day weekend to actually get stuff done, but it did get done. And if I do say so myself, it looks pretty nice.

I borrowed HP5 from Heather. She reads lightning fast, and was done in 8 hours. I, however, am taking longer than I expected. I read for about 3.5 hours yesterday and am only on page 200 and something. I keep having to re-read parts of it, because I keep reading too fast and skip lines. My eyes are pretty excited about the story, and I suppose they just can’t stop looking ahead a few lines. The battle in my head looks a little like this:

“Skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead!”

“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

“Skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead!”

“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

“Skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead!”

“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

“Skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead, skip ahead!”

“Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

you get the idea. It’s gotten to the point where I have to cover up the bottom of the page so my eyes don’t get ahead of themselves. I’m absolutely loving the story so far. I’m wicked pissed at a couple of characters, but I won’t say more here just in case some of my friends haven’t read it yet. Melissa is coming over today, and I hope I can read enough of the book to be caught up with her, although she’s probably finished by now. Ok, get to work!
