more Harry Potter...

Now anyone who knows me knows how much I truly love the Harry Potter Series. It was my first love in the reading world and could never be outdone in my mind... not even by the amazing Twilight. Another thing that I love, are spoilers, mainly for my TV shows, but I love watching exclusives and special features on movies.

Today I ran across a handful of exclusives for the up coming Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Which is my FAVORITE book in the series by far. Now these exclusives do not give any crucial information, there are small spoilers, but nothing huge.(ie. the new teacher they're hiring to fill the empty post at Hogwarts) Anywho, I am super excited now to see the movie and if anyone wants to go opening weekend with me, let me know and we'll make a date.

so... I guess this is a MINOR (like almost none) spoiler alert...



reminder... it comes out July 20, 2009! mark it on your calenders.

help wanted.

I found out today, that I will no longer have a job at the end of this month. It sucks but at least my boss gave me a reasonable amount of time to find a new job. So heres where I'm asking the help of any family or friends.

If anyone knows where I could get a decently paying job that offers benefits (preferred but not mandatory) please let me know. I would really like to be on unemployment for as little time as possible.

2009 theme song

I try and have a theme song every year to kick off the next year.
with the economy the way it is, I think the thing that we all need to remember to be thankful for everything we have. I know that I am. I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am now without my friends and family.

So this years theme song is 'Thankful' By Josh Groban

Happy Holidays!

oh christmas tree... oh christmas tree...

here are a few pics of our house decked to the halls. I tried to convince David to let me do bright orange, bright pink, and a bright blue tree... but he didn't like it. so i settled for blue silver and white. Also we've had our tree up since Halloween.

Don't believe me? ask our neighbors, we dressed up our house for halloween... as christmas.
