Each passing day puts me one day closer to the release of Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, part 1. So, to help me prepare for the momentous occasion (and because I’m a geek) I am sticking to my time honored tradition of re-reading the book before the seeing the movie.
Usually, I just re-read the whichever book the upcoming movie is based on. But since this is the last movie, I’ve decided to re-read all 7 books! And to take it to the next level, I’ve convinced 3 of my friends to re-read them all with me.
We started Monday the 23rd, and we’ll take 11 days to read each book, which should put us finishing up Book 7 around Nov 13th. Just in time to take a break and discuss them before the going to the midnight show on Nov 17th.
So, who’s with me? Anyone else out there up for the challenge?
Hello? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Ok fine, it’s just me and my 3 crazy friends on this one-lol. Ok, off to get going on The Sorcerer’s Stone.
You know, I think I will go find me a count down button while I’m at it…

One of my Twitter peeps tweeted this link a while ago, and no matter how many times I read it, it just cracks me up.
For those who are fans of LOL cats or the Twilight saga or both, take a gander of the recap here.
I think the Jasper frames are my favorite. They were just so unexpected, it caught me off guard. That image of the cat in a uniform is hilarious.
Not to mention the use of the Cats’ cast as the Volturi.

LOL, I got this fortune when I finished up a Mahjong game. Now granted, I didn’t play my best hand this time, but dang. Did I really deserve this one?
According to some friends, yes! LOL

I got to pull out my Pamper Chef coating trays for the first time tonight, woohoo!!! I decided to make parmesan chicken tonight and didnt want to use 3 of my dinner plates (We only have 4) for the various stages of dipping and coating and what not. As evidenced by the photo I think the trays worked very well for my various stations. The trays speak to the slightly OCD part of me, everything has its place, AND it stays in it.
Anywho, the real accomplishment of the night is the fact that I cooked dinner and had it on the table (without rushing) before 8 pm tonight. The one drawback of me cooking (due to the time I get home and the shear amount of time it takes me to cook-I am NOT a pro-LOL) I the kids usually don’t eat until after 8 pm. Hey, I’m getting better!! And the chicken was so good, all the kids ate it with no complaints. In fact, I got requests for 2nd’s and 3rd’s!! And trust me, that’s a big coup for me, as I have the pickest most fickle kids in the world when it comes to food (but I can’t really be mad at them, they got it honestly).
Here’s a slightly blurry pic of the chicken. Just pay no nevermind to the slightly (read “very”) dark pieces in the back. You know, if you actually turn the heat down, the chicken will not cook so fast. Imagine that.
