dreamflowerWell, tonight the DH and I went out to supper at Waffle House, and then went to pick up our HP at Barnes & Noble, amid all the hype.
I've never been to one of those things before, and it was fun seeing all the kids--and a lot of adults--in costume, and the different activities they had going on. We had to get a bracelet with a number on it to pick up our pre-ordered book. I ran into a lot of folks I know--at least three other members of the Barony, some of my customers from Michaels--it was really fun.
I also bought a new issue of "Threads"--there's some good articles in there this month--the one on piping looks very useful. I love the look of piping, but the few times I've tried to use it, I ended up getting it in very unevenly.
But you know what's funny? I don't know that I'm in any hurry to actually *read* the book. It's been over a year since I have read *ANY* non-LotR or Tolkien related fiction. And I'm not sure I want to now; I thoroughly have hobbits on the brain, and I'm not too certain I want to switch to kid-wizards and Hogwarts yet, even for just one book. Maybe I'll let the DH read it first.
