Am I Too Old For This?
Jon and I were walking through the mall today and we saw a sign for the Harry Potter Breakfast being held from 8-10 on Saturday at B. Dalton. I made the comment to Jon that we would be going if I didn’t already have the book ordered. Jon’s response: “Jen, aren’t you a little too old for this?”
I figure that if people can stand in line at 3 a.m. in L.A. to get into the new Star Wars movie, I can toss on a button-down shirt, black skirt, tie, tights, shoes, and Jon’s preaching robes and be Hermione!
Some Randomness
[+] Less than two days until HP6 comes out!!!!!!!! *dances around the room holding a fluffy cat*
[+] I got my new glasses ordered today. I tried on about 10 pairs before I found something I really liked. Insurance ate half the cost of them and with the funeral stipend ($100), I’m out only $37.
[+] I’m participating in the Blogathon on August 6th. (My site for it is here.) I can’t wait to do it and I really hope I have enough topics about which I can post. (If you have any ideas, the email address is the graphic in the entry below.)
[+] It’s bloody hot here. It’s been around 90 for the last few days and it gets brutal upstairs where I usually am. I’m at the point of moving my laptop down to the “secretary’s office” (or it would be if we actually *had* a church secretary) and living out of there until the snow flies. The heat is making me really crabby and really nauseous.
[+] I’m 92% done with the wedding blanket I’m working on. It’s 2 ply with an N hook which means it’s HEAVY and a pain to be doing right now. (It was 80% done in May, but then I got sick…) I don’t know why it’s such a pain to finish — because it’s hot and I don’t want to do anything or because the blanket is OSU colors and the Michigan fan in me is rebelling. I’ve got some DVD’s from the library, so I guess the rest of today is going to be devoted to finishing it.
Blogathon Ideas
I’m participating in Blogathon 2005 and I could really use ideas as to what I should blog on. If you have any thoughts/web surveys/comments/quotes, send them to the following address:

Thanks!
Glasses
My newly-sautered glasses snapped AGAIN!!!!!
I’m praying that I can get in to see the nice people at Pearle Vision in Watertown…
Felicitations!
Congrats are in order for my college friend Michael Park who wed his beloved Kristen yesterday in Memphis, Tennessee. Blessings to you two in your marriage and I want to see the pictures when you get back!
Saturday Randomness
Edda has decided to train Jon to clean the litterboxes. This morning, she went up to him, turned around, and peed on him. I managed to aim her so that she only got the comforter. I’m referring to Jon as her “paon” now…
I watched “Napoleon Dynamite” last night and today. It is very very strange.
Will watch “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” before heading to a wedding this afternoon…
