harry potter anticipation

Peanut art


Check out the peanut art above, by my sister last week. It was demolished by several squirrels and chipmunks within minutes, of course. :-) The squirrel is holding a marshmallow on a stick.

Only TWO DAYS until the new Harry Potter book arrives in our mailbox. I am *so* hyped. My fingers are itching; I hope it's another honkin' huge book. Jeff is prepared to be ignored for a while. Fortunately he's not as enthusiastic about the whole Harry Potter thing as I am, else we'd have to order two copies like my sister did for her household.

I won't be able to attend the Midnight Madness launch at our local Indigo-Chapters this time, sadly, so opted for ordering through Amazon.ca instead. I finished rereading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last week in anticipation. I remember lining up for the book last time; there was a boy dressed up like Harry Potter standing behind me, and we all got goody bags. I gave mine to my nieces (who are also, of course, equally excited about the newest book).

Thanks to Walter and Trish for watering our garden and updating us on renovation progress while we were at the cottage. Looks like renovations will be finished on time; the carpet goes in today!

NINE DAYS until we spend the first night in our new house.
