Baby Shower

Since I graduated in May, I have tried to keep in contact with the people that did the graduate program with me up at the U. We generally find anything to make into a party, so since one of our numbers is pregnant, we decided to have a baby shower. Oh the laughs we have when we are together. We look back at school with humor instead of trauma :) It's always nice to keep in touch. Who knows when we will need each other as references/resources in our future careers...

Harry Potter

I did it. I have finally become one of those crazy people that go to the store at midnight the day of the book release and stand in line with a ton of other crazy people and wear a yellow Hufflepuff bracelet and discuss facts from previous Harry Potter books and give my own professional opinions of what will happen in the final book!!! My mother informed me I was crazy, but I responded with the fact that I have to do crazy things in my youth. And then she made the comment that going to Walmart at midnight was not youthful - merely stupid. Stupidity won out for me though when after purchasing the book and being home at 12:30am and only sleeping 4 1/2 hours (4am-8:30am) I finished the book at 6 pm yesterday. The moment I decided I was really crazy was when I had been reading in my bed from 8:30 without getting up at all and finally at 11am I had to force myself to put the book down so I could use the restroom that I had been dying to use for at least an hour... I enjoyed it though which is all that matters! I've even considered reading it again already... do you think I have a problem?????
