On the other side

Sin-O-Matic was a bit more frenetic that usual.  I did not lose the plot on the dance floor, but I did change costumes.  The evening ended up being a little more voyeuristic and less interactive than normal, but that's all well and good.  I made it to an after party, which features the longest cooking tater tots ever.  I swear they just wouldn't crisp!

Sunday was completely and utterly given over to reading Harry Potter.  I did read out on our back porch, so I got some sunshine.  No dice were rolled this weekend.

I think I"m suffering from a little post Potter depression.  No spoilers, just that feeling that "everything that has a beginning, has an end."  This end is finally here.  There will be other stories, and I will always look forward to returning to this one.  More in depth discussions can be had when the rest of you finish reading it!  It could also be that I'm sleep deprived after staying up til 2 to finish the book.  I did get to dream that I had a wand and knew how to use it, so bonus for that. 

My open schedule could be another factor.  This past month was jammed packed with trips (Canada, Orlando) and big events.  Now it's all in the past, and I have a wide open slate.  I'm due for a little relaxation before the next big thing comes along.

every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end

i wonder what the author is going to do now? can't imagine she'll retire from writing.

i've not read any of the books, but do want to. i'm not a omg spoiler kinda girl though, so i look forward to when people start discussing it.

sin-o-matic was fun, but wish i'd danced more. although my back seems to think i did just enough. hehe. and what was it with those tots?!! they just wouldn't cook. methinks it was user error on the part of the myriad of cooks. doh! good seeing you there.

I'm sure she'll write something else, but if I were here I'd take a nice long vacation!

I think you'll enjoy the books.

I danced a lot, and while I remembered the evening the end of it was a blur of bodies and lights and music. I think there was a lot of "attention grabbing" going on.
