Butterbeer makes everything better...

We're waiting on pins and needles to hear about an apartment in Tacoma...hopefully we'll hear something tomorrow. No luck with the job hunt, yet. I soothe my frustrations and stress with glasses of homemade butterbeer. I skip the actual butter and just mix butterschnaps and vanilla cream soda..SO GOOD.
I am also re-watching A Very Potter Musical, which also makes everything better or should I say, it makes everything TOTALLY AWESOME! I highly recommend this musical to any Potter fans. It's incredibly funny and creative, plus Voldemort has never been sexier. You think I'm kidding? Watch it! Also, Draco is hilarious!

Vampires and such...

So I had to order a textbook for school and since I was on Amazon, already ordering books I indulged and ordered this. Now before you start judging (and I know you will!)...the books aren't that bad. Yes, the main character is whiny and everything is just a little too perfect, I always feel like in each of the books the conflicts are too easily resolved. However, they are a fun read in my opinion. I don't take them too seriously; they're more like junk food for my brain. Easy and tasty to read. What I do enjoy about them is that I think they really capture that first love feeling, at least what I remember. Like how you feel like you might just die without that other person and you can't imagine anyone else ever being more perfect for you. Of course, once you grow up a bit and your mind isn't clouded by teenage hormones, you usually realize how very wrong you were and then just the memory of how silly you were makes you cringe...ugh.

Re-reading Harry Potter and other potter stuff...

I'm currently in the middle of re-reading the Harry Potter series, about half way through Goblet of Fire. I love these books. They have brought me so much happiness. I love talking to other Potter fans about the books and it's lucky I have quite a few friends that share my love of Harry Potter. A few months ago one of these friends happened to have a birthday. Fig and I put together a 'parcel' full of HP goodies with an 'official' Hogwarts letter inviting her to take a vacant teaching post at the school (she's a history teacher). We pulled a ding-dong-dash and left in on her door step and scattered a few white feathers around to give the impression of the package being delivered by owl post. Fun!

In other Potter news, we are just a week away from visiting Harry Potter: The Exhibition at the Ontario Science Center. Not only am I psyched to view the exhibition, but I'm looking forward to checking out Niagara Falls and Toronto...good stuff.

Moving woes

We are in the process of moving...kind of. It's been a long process and it is still not over. Trying to find jobs and apartments and timing the end of a lease here with the start of a new lease there...it's nearly impossible. We keep putting it off for a 'better time', but really there never will be a perfect time to do this. Back to packing...
