From the Mouthes of Babes

Overheard as I was getting Aidan in his car seat today.

“I am perfect.”

“Awesome bread!”

More Harry related stuff

Ok, so while I am waiting impatiently for the book that shall not be named, I have been playing around with some other Potter related stuff. First of all, I tried another sorting quiz and guess which house I would be in according to this website? Hmm, figured it out yet? Am I a brave rule-breaking Gryffindor? A hardworking loyal Hufflepuff? A sneaky, ambitious Slytherin? Or a brainy Ravenclaw?

Which Hogwarts house will you be sorted into?

Apparently I am the loyal, dependable hardworking Hufflepuff. A badger. Lol, I guess it may be pretty close.

In other things Potter related Roxy of Daisy Bones, a very talented graphic artist, has graciously let me use her Do Not Spoil Me banner. Isn’t it pretty?

I am trying to come up with one myself. 🙂

Harry, Harry, Where Are You?

I ordered my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows months ago.  I have been counting down for months till it came out.  I was too cheap to up the shipping costs to get it on the day.  Anthony didn’t take my hint that he could up the shipping from the free shipping so that I would miraculously get the book on the day it came out. (It really wasn’t that subtle.  I coyly said, “Well you could up the shipping for me.” Grinning.) I don’t know how he could mistake that for anything but I can’t justify it for myself, but my wonderful husband could do it for me.  Ok I guess to a male mind that didn’t mean the same as doing it myself, or actually asking him outright to do it for me.

Now I am in spoiler hell.  I am trying so hard to avoid spoilers, and because EVERYONE has already read the book, the blogging world is full of them.   I want to know but I do not want to know. Does Harry die?  Will he finally get some time with Ginny?  Do they kill off Ron?  Will Snape redeem himself? Who does die?  What will be Voldemort’s undoing? Is Dumbledore really dead?  Will Sirius come through the veil? Are Dumbledore and Harry related?  What happen to the other members of the D.A.?

I guess I will just have to read the previous books again while I am waiting.  Sigh.

P.S.  Do not under any circumstance answer my questions if you know.  I want to read them for my self.  I will discuss the book with any of you AFTER I have read HP7.  You can however leave some “Na na na na na s, I know what happened, but I’m not telling,” comments.   I am a comment whore after all. 🙂

P.P.S.  Anthony and I are planning to go to see HP and the order of the Pheonix  on friday for our anniversary (7 years already).  I can’t wait.  🙂  (I hope Tammy can still babysit.)

Dog Days of Summer: Bloggy Giveaway

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Shannon of Rocks In My Dryer fame is having a Dog Days of Summer: Bloggy Giveaway Carnival and I decided I wanted to become part of it. I thought about this and I figured out what would be a good giveaway for me. I have two extra copies of “Holes” by Louis Sachar. I was going to work on a novel study basket but I am now a SAHM so it isn’t as urgent as it once was. So good for you! I will send a copy to two people who leave a comment on this post. The winner will be randomly drawn from the comments I receive by Friday the 27th July at midnight.

If the people who win would also like some novel study ideas for grades 5-8 let me know and I can send some with the books. 🙂
