Finally something noteworthy to share on the Blog! Harry Potter... Book 7! Woo hoo! Last night after partying with some die-hard Harry Potter fans at a local Border's bookstore... Christa and I got our hands on the latest book! Luckily, Christa stopped at the store earlier in the day and picked up our "pre-order" wristbands so that we could be in the first wave of people to purchase the book at midnight! So... at 12:04am... we had them in our hot little hands! The cheers that erupted when the bookstore employees rolled out the carts with boxes that said "Do not open until July 21, 2007" was very exciting!Jon and Emily were very supportive! We had a great little base of operations staked out at a table in the bookstore cafe where Jon and Emily intermittently read books and magazines etc. while Christa and I kept going to the "ballroom" as they called it to see what was going on at the party.
There were lots of fun costumes, and some great debate by the kiddies as to whether Snape was a friend or foe! Some of the costumes were just weird. One Asian guy... claimed to be a "male Cho Chang". I decided that using your ethnicity to try to win a costume contest... was just tacky! Still, I will admit it was quite comical!
I did manage to read the first chapter last night before I conked out. Now I have a Potter coffee... er... a POT of coffee brewed and am ready to tuck into the rest of the book!
Not to be overshadowed by all the Harry Potter excitement... our friends Paul and Jackie visited from the Dallas last weekend! We had a fantastic weekend! Friday night we took them to one of our favorite restaurants... China China! A must stop for any visitors that we have! Saturday we took a day trip up to Sedona! It was a bit on the hot side... but it was beautiful as always!
Sunday, while Jackie and Paul got in a bit of golf and a little bit of R & R, Jon and I prepared a nice meal for all of us which made for a fantastic evening of visiting before they left on Monday. Jon and Paul even broke out their LaGrange High School yearbook! Good times! Jackie and I concentrated on brainstorming for our "It's All Good™" product line. Don't ask... just look for our products... coming soon to a store near you! (Potentially... at a 7-Eleven... near the Dr. Pepper).Not sure when I will Blog again... but right now... I've got some Harry Potter to read!
