I decided to update while my strawberry muffins cool.  Last night was the Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince release party and it was great!  Chris, Adri, and I arrived at Barnes & Nobles around 9:20ish and the place was PACKED.  They had a good many activities including Harry Potter trivia, costume contest, Harry Potter adult discussions, wand making, face painting, snitch making, crystal ball fortunes and a few other things.  I really wanted a wand but by the time we decided to go over there they had ran out so no wand for me but I did get Harry Potter glasses which I will so wear at work tomorrow. I'm only about 200 pages in the book because I've not slept much the past few nights and my eyes are very dry and irritated so I had to stop around 4:30ish.  This morning my Mom left for the beach so I had to do a few house chores this morning but I plan on devoting the rest of the day to Harry.  I've never been so excited about any one thing 'til last night at the party.  We squealed like 12 year old girls when we finally
got our hands on the book. 

I really can't express how happy and excited Harry Potter makes me feel.  If I'm having a terrible or stressed day I can read Harry and just take a break from reality.  It exercises my imagination.  Some
people may think I'm crazy but let them think that.  I would much rather escape to Hogwarts to relieve some stress instead of drugs or drinking. 

Anyway...my muffins are cooled so now I can sit down with some creamer with a little coffee (my coffee is white with so much flavored creamer I really can't call it coffee) and a muffin to read more Harry Potter.
