I’m tired. Even though I was in bed about 9:30 (I read for a while before turning out the lights), I woke up barely functional. So it’s been a slow morning so far. Then again…it’s Friday. It can be as slow as I want!
Yesterday, I vacuumed the upstairs and completely did the ironing clothes (wash, dry, iron, hang up), as well as finishing the little chores that are sort of daily things (clean up kitchen, water plants, make bed, etc.).
Eric got home late last night because his box coater (the machine he spends a good portion of his time with) broke down just before the end of the day. He fixed it, but didn’t get home until 6:30 as a result.
I read Harry Potter Book 6 (okay, just the end really) while I waited for him. Some thoughts on Harry Potter:
- The final book comes out a week from tomorrow. I can hardly wait!
- I have a copy reserved from the Lennox Barnes & Noble. I saved my B&N gift card from Christmas just to buy this book!
- I will pick up my copy very early on Saturday morning. I will NOT be showing up at 12:01 am to buy it. I like the books, but midnight sales are not my thing. And the books will still be there in the morning!
- I’m SO glad this is the final book of the series. It is high time we find out how this story concludes!
- I do not think Harry dies at the end.
Today I have to get a birthday card for my brother and wrap his present. We’re having a party for him tonight in Cedarville, so hopefully, Eric is not too late tonight. I’d go down earlier if I had a way to get there without having two cars there. Oh well…I guess I’ll just wait patiently…’cause I’m so good at that. 
Late afternoon/evening.
^ That’s true. Kevi’s name comes up QUITE often! ^
I’m trying really, really hard to get (guilt) Kevin to come sometime, but he has a lot of stuff going on that has been planned for a while, and he would have a hard time missing. I just keep telling him that Sierra’s been asking for “Kevi” — then he wavers slightly…. We’ll see what happens….
^ LOL that you just realized that! ^
Lindsey and Kim were just assumed to be there. (Funny that I specifically mentioned Mom and Dad, like that wasn’t just assumed.) Good ideas with Deb, Chris, girls, and Beki’s fam. So, should we do it? Tomorrow? Next Saturday looks like it’ll be nice, too. Votes?
^ Chris and Debbie and girls; Beki & fam; ME ^
I hate the two-car dilemma. Sometimes, I like to stay in Cedarville longer (like for the weekend), but that doesn’t so much work for Kevin, so then we have the two-car problem. And it’s such a waste of gas!
Hey, wait a sec! I’m going to Cedarville tonight! What time would you want to leave?
I wish I could come to a cookout, but I am trying not to leave the state of Kentucky for the rest of the month!
Your finished chore list from yesterday makes me want to be more productive today. We’ll see how it goes.
Of course Eric is welcome! Okay, I’ll talk to Kyle and Michelle and my parents (ooh, and maybe your parents) and Karen and Erik… anyone else you can think of?
Do you have any plans tomorrow? I am considering having a “seeing Michelle and girls” cookout, and tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 85 and sunny, so it sounds like it was meant to be!
Is Karen going down earlier that you could ride with them? Was this comment really a suggestion to her that they ask if you want to ride with them?
I enjoy the Harry Potter series, too. I think I finished book 3. I’m a little behind!
