Book 7 is the best Rowling book of them all
I finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at 10:00 this morning. I really enjoyed seeing all of the loose ends tied up and reading the epilogue. Rowling really knows how to write a book. Maybe one day she'll base another series off the characters introduced in the epilogue. -
Harry Potter
James and I decided to visit Dan & Amanda for the week. We arrived in Atlanta yesterday, just in time for Dan & Amanda to receive the call that their local theatre had received the Harry Potter movie reels. The reason they received the call is that they, and subsequently us, had been invited to preview Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. We ( Read more... ) -

Rambling post below concerning Summer goals
The students were released from school last Wednesday, and my last official duty of the 06/07 school year was to attend the graduation ceremony last Saturday afternoon. I have completed all of my officials duties so now I can enjoy my summer. Because I'm trying to become less of a procastinator, I am going to try something new this summer. I'm ( Read more... ) -
reading the Bible in 90 days
I have decided to participate in Zondervan's "read the Bible in 90 days" program. They sell a specific Bible that is divided into 90 12-page sections, but since I have my own Bible, I decided to forego purchasing their copy. If you're interested in reading my journal entries concerning what I'm reading/thinking about what I'm reading, just reply to ( Read more... ) -
unusual eBay auction
A woman named Karen who lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia has posted an Ebay Auction for someone to choose her last name. It's actually a very well-written Ebay Auction, and she even has a since of humor about what she is doing. -
We're back
We're back. Hawaii was great. The only stressful part of the trip was the flight from Honolulu to Salt Lake. Apparently I'm not allergic to any plants in Hawaii, so I'm now dealing with sinus pressure thanks to my pine tree allergy. I'll post more on Wednesday because I'm going to bed now and will be too busy on Monday and Tuesday to post. I'll ( Read more... ) -
Wireless Internet Access in Hawaii is awful.
We've tried numerous times to connect wirelessly to the Internet from our condo, but have experienced limited success. If/when we ever return, I think that will be a requirement for the place where we stay. There are plenty of Starbucks around, but Tmobil's wireless access is rather pricy. I have yet to connect to the Internet with my laptop since ( Read more... ) -
Aloha from Hawaii
We arrived safely in Honolulu, HI at 1:45 p.m. this afternoon (7:45 p.m. Georgia time). Our flight was just over 9 hours long. We didn't lose any luggage and were reasonably comfortable on the plane. It is a gorgeous 80 degrees F outside right now (it's 5:13 p.m., here) and we're killing time in a Starbucks. I'll post a couple of pictures tomorrow ( Read more... )
