Damn Muggles
This weekend was full of things designed to keep me from reading my new Harry Potter book. I had been so diligent, re-reading books five and six (to prepare for the movie as well as the new book). I finished book six at about 5 p.m. on Friday afternoon, just in the nick of time for the arrival of book seven on Saturday. Except it didn’t arrive until after 1 p.m. and finally showed up just as I was on my way to run about a zillion errands. I had exactly 15 minutes to lay around Saturday evening before getting ready to go out so I read chapter one. Then I got home around midnight and had the energy to read chapters two and three. I don’t think I got to read any yesterday, and today I sneaked some reading in while work was quiet. I think I am on chapter six or seven now. And I love it!
But really I had a great weekend. My cousin came in town with her boyfriend, whom we all believe to be The One. So Friday I packed up Bridgie and we met them for lunch just for a bit. Then that evening all of us cousins went out and left all three kiddos with Grandma and Grandpa. We had wonderful margaritas and Tex-Mex at Chuy’s. Saturday night I went with my lovely sister-in-law to see Kathy Griffin. I DOUBLE HEART Kathy Griffin and was so thrilled when I checked her website a few months back to see that I hadn’t missed her by a few days, as is usually the case. So I snatched up tickets, and then found out Jake had no interest in going. Which worked out perfect for us, because I had been hoping she and I would get to have a girls’ night out soon and we did. Complete with yummy Mexican food!
Sunday we went to my brother and SIL’s house to cook out and swim. It was Bridget’s first time in the pool. At first she wasn’t impressed, but once she was in for a while she dug it. Plus R&M have this really cool floatie toy for their daughter that we used for a bit when she was done with it. Bridgie could float and be in the shade and chill. She liked that.
Anyway, I am off to bed very soon to make some serious progress on my Harry Potter book. Is it wrong to be this excited about it?

I’m on page 17 and thrilled to be that far. I fear Peanut will be in kindergarten before I finish. I hate not being able to read it as I usually do, and it’s hard to stay away from any online info. We did get out to see the latest movie this weekend, though, our first date in 10 months.
It took me a year to get into HP which is odd for me since I love reading so much. I’m curious about this one but unsure if I want to pick it up. Should I wait? Should I place it on hold at the library becoming number 9874509q87jh to request it? Or should I give in and get a used copy soon so I’ll have something to discuss around the water cooler?
