If you are looking for me, I am hunkered down at Liane's house reading a certain Book 7 while my children run about willy-nilly at home with Rick in charge.
Harry Potter Day.
I got the book just about an hour ago and it sits next to me as I type. I haven't dared crack the cover (oh God maybe I should just in case I ended up with a copy that, due to an unforseen printing error, had all blank pages... okay, no. I will trust that it is fine. Must resist...), mainly because I know that as soon as I do I won't be able to stop reading it.
But also because I kind of don't want to start reading it... cause it's the last one. Harry Potter has been a part of my life for the past 10 years and at the end of each book there was a certain bit of speculation... anticipation... and wondering what would happen next. But with this one, there won't be that when it's over. It will just be over. And I am not sure I am ready for that.
Okay.
I am.
Cause it is sitting next to me right now... taunting me.
I will not give in. In the morning I will go to Liane's house for Harry Potter Day. She and I will read, chapter by chapter, and have a discussion after each. Speculation... dissection... making the most of this, the last book.
Cause while I don't want it to end, I also must know the end.
I think when it's done, I will start on Book 1 again. On vacation in a couple weeks, I will read the entire series... looking for all those clues that have been planted all along throughout the books. I CAN'T WAIT.
Happy Harry Potter Day! :)

YOU LOSER!!! I bought it today at Sam's Club for $18. Sweet deal!! I am not reading it until I am done rereading the rest. I am about 50 pages from finishing book number three: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban.
Dude, book 3? What the heck?
As Meghan says..."I think I'll frozen you. Petrificus Totalus!" (poof)
