Harry Potter craziness

Today was a low key day. The boys and I hung out at home. Michael came home early from work and that allowed me to run to the post office, video store and grocery store. I was lazy so we had sanwiches from Safeway. They still have their “Buy 1 Get One Free” sale, we’ve been eating a lot of sandwiches lately. It’s good, good for you, quick and easy, no cooking and for a limited time, half price! Can’t beat that! When I got home, I fell asleep on the couch. Michael took care of the boys bath and feeding. I got up just in time before putting them down to bed. I can’t believe I slept through all the crying!

After we put them down, we had a quiet evening. Michael was getting his stuff together for his climb and I worked on my “movie” web app. Since I have so many movies now, I need a catalog of them all. I also have been taking them out of the boxes and putting them in a “condensed case”, which is just a sleeve. I bought these neat compact holders that holds 100 disks in each. As I’m going through, I’m entering the data in a DB and then putting them in their new home. I can now search movies by year, rating, tomatometer and genre. I also have a field that tells me if someone borrowed it and who it is (so don’t think about not returning them)!

I debated all day today whether or not to go to Barnes & Noble at midnight to pick up my reserved copy. I already ordered one from buy.com, which I *might* get tomorrow, most likely Monday. The temptation was too great, so I ended up going. I will probably donate my 2nd copy to the library. I wish Michael could’ve come with me and I briefly considered packing everyone up, but the book wasn’t worth *THAT* much. When I got there, there was a lot of people, I had a hard time finding parking. I was number 482. As I walked in, they were selling the first copies and the people were so happy to finally get their book. I had to wait around for about an hour and a half. Because there was so much people, the store was really stuffy and hot. I wouldn’t have survived in there if I was pregnant! I milled around the store, picking up books here and there. I found a neat book of the highest peaks of all 50 states and it was only $5 so I bought it for Michael. At 12:54, I finally got my copy and headed home. Can’t wait to start reading it!
