It's been a bang up weekend. Yesterday was productive. This morning I got up, changed the sheets, and made waffles. I followed the impending baby news, and Cayne mowed the lawn. I paid bills and then we rather suddenly decided to go to a movie. We checked on the schedule and decided to go see Hairspray. I had high expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Cayne liked it more than I expected him to. I may send the soundtrack and a gift certificate to my Mom, who would probably enjoy it.

Dinner is now in the oven, and I'm recording the JK Rowling interview on Dateline NBC so that Cayne doesn't get spoiled by any of the things she said. Speaking of such things-he wants to know if he should put his "Snape is Loyal" or his "Snape will betray" sticker up. I know the answer, because I finished the book already, but he doesn't. Do I tell him, or not? (Any comments with spoilers will be screened...)

While I, like many people on my f'list got a hold of the latest Harry Potter book as soon as I could (somewhere around 2 AM, because we went out for a long and leisurely late supper and got to the bookstore at about 11:30) I'm not feeling the same drive to rush through reading it as I have with previous books. Perhaps because it's the last one, or perhaps because the story is so different from the others I'm trying to savor it, to soak it in and make it last. I read one chapter last night when we got home, before I went to sleep. I read one chapter this morning before breakfast. I read another later on, and one more as a break from other things.

I'll finish the book, but slowly, in small bites.

I finished HBP last night. If we hadn't been in the middle of packing, I'd have probably finished it on Saturday, but well, packing had to be a priority. Then again, if it weren't for HBP, I'd have probably found packing to be even more challenging.

( behind a cut, so you don't have to read it unless you want to )
