Sniffle
I just finished reading the new Harry Potter book tonight. Oh my gosh... I was practically sobbing towards the end. I had read that the ending was a tearjerker but I was like, "oh it can't be that bad, besides I don't even cry at sad movies, I'll be fine"... heh. I don't know if this was one of my favorites of the series but it was pretty darn good; I got really sucked into it in the second half, particularly. Whew! Now the long wait for the next book. At least the next movie ("Goblet of Fire") will be out this fall (right around my birthday).
We had quite the heat wave here in Chicago over the weekend. Yesterday I went to a church picnic w/my sister... it was very hot (got up to 102 officially) but luckily it was breezy and not too humid, so it was tolerable. The picnic was fun, I caught up with some church friends, and Lori helped work one of the kid's game booths. Mom & Dad skipped out on the picnic since they were at some other party and a meeting. This is the third weekend in a row that they haven't gone to church with us! Tsk. ;) However, I hung out with them when they came downtown with Lori, Tita Marie & Mark for dinner in Greektown on Wednesday.
On Saturday I *finally* was able to purchase a new suit, which I had been shopping for much of last week without success. Sizing is a problem for me... first of all I have to shop in the boys' dept :P and then, a size 18 jacket fits me but the size 18 pants are way too big, and vice versa with the size 16's. So, I had to go with the 18 and have them take the pants way in. Anyway, I bought a tan suit from the Nordstrom downtown and it will be ready by Thursday so I can wear it to Kathy & Matt's wedding this weekend, yay. After making the suit purchase I checked out the new Hershey's Store on Michigan Avenue... very nice, similar to the one in Times Square in NYC. I didn't buy anything (gasp!) but I'm sure I'll be back there soon. :)
I've been rather spendy this month, I've realized. New digital camera, new suit, two sets of wedding gifts, some CDs, and other miscellaneous purchases. Oh and I just bought my sister a new digicam to replace the one I got for her off eBay that broke a week or two into her Greece trip (doh). I'll be selling that one back on eBay for parts or repair, and I just listed my previous digital cam, so hopefully I'll be able to recoup some of my expenses. :)
