With the anticipation of Harry Potter...

looming above our heads, I am going to make it a point to re-read the last book, Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince.



It has been a little while since I last read it and I want to be clued in as possible, really. Jassen and I pre-ordered Harry Potter a long time ago on amazon and an email was sent out that it is getting ready to ship, so one can assume that its on the way for Saturday!!

I will attempt to read it as deeply as possible and maybe skip over some parts just to get it fresh in my mind. I totally want to rip through the last book, but not, since it supposedly is the last one ever. I have heard a few rumours that Rowlings might write another, but in a way that would be a bummer...I think 7 will suffice. Also, on the 16th of this month, supposedly some person had an advanced copy of the book and took pictures of all of the pages and put it up online. I really dont want to see that as Id rather read the book on my own accord.

Oh and my family, which included my mom and dad as well as Jassen, saw Order of the Phoenix at the IMAX in my hometown and it was quite good! Much better than the last movie, for sure!

And in personal news today, Salt and Pepper managed to get outside on the roof of the kitchen from the bathroom. I thought I had checked all windows, but some one managed to leave the bathroom window open...Not really asserting blame as such since this all ended up in a happy reunion with my kits....As soon as Pepper saw me at the window, she jumped back in...as for Salt, he looooves to play. We tried coaxing him with food, he got reachably close but we didnt want to scare him which would then force him to go even further out on the roof than he should....so, about less than 10 minutes later, we got him back in the house and all was well.

Tomorrow is friday, so i will be busy with the book reading and probably some sort off organizing of things in the room. There are no plans as such to go out tomorrow night, but I have seriously been craving some Krispy Kremes. On Saturday, we are visiting Jassen's cousin named Jasen, with one less s, since it will be his cousins 25th birthday...We will travel to South London, and I believe we will be crossing through Victoria Station. That being the case, I am well aware that there is a Krispy Kreme stand, so maybe thats where we will be obtaining my sweet tooth fix!

Recently, because I wake up so late in the morning(or afternoon), I havent been eating as much food. I kinda see this as a good thing, since I over indulged while statebound. I think it was many because I was surrounded with Brits that wanted to get their American food intake...so guilty by association I suppose. I know that Jassen over ate as well as Reuben, his little bro. As for me, I only managed to put on a few pounds, but I have a goal of losing about 5 or so by the end of August for the UK reception.

I still need to work on getting my dress cleaned and pressed, figure out who is going to do my hair, and I figure that I will just paint my own nails and do my own makeup, since I still have the makeup from the wedding day! I think the only thing that I am in dire need of is a brown eyeliner pencil. Other than that, really I am set.

I know that there is still alot of organizing that is needing to get down, so over the coming weeks and weekends Im sure that is going to be addressed. We have invited nearly 300 people for this reception, and KNOW that at least 120+ people are already going to make it. EEK!!!

Its only fair.....I had the US reception for the US side and now its time for Jassen's side...You dont even realize how much bigger my family has gotten. I kid you not, I'd say by 20x

:-S
