Well I finished the book last night a little after midnight. It is really good. In my opinion I think it is the best Harry Potter of the seven. A lot happens. And I was satisfied when it was over. Now I will not talk about what happened in the book openly until Friday. So be forwarned. And I'll warn you when I am going to talk about it. But seriously I have a lot to say about it.
Since I went to bed late last night, I slept on the pull-out sofa in my living room, and got up early to go to pilates this morning I have been sleepy all day. So we didn't really do very much. We went to my office, then out to Crissy Field and the Prisido. The plan was to see the Golden Gate Bridge as well. But it was way too foggy. Always a possibility during the summer. So then we went and had cheesesteaks. Followed by a walk around a neighborhood close by so my niece could do a little shopping. But there was a bookstore so she wasn't all that happy. Then we came back home for a nap. After that a trip to Target and an Italian-American bakery for cheesecake. Tonight we have been sitting around watching television and having grilled cheese sandwiches. Mmmm, grilled cheese sandwich.
This evening while I was working the crossword puzzle my sister was watching the Country Music Channel and I heard what my be the funniest thing ever. They are about to start a reality show called... wait for it....wait for it....
Celebrity Bull Riding. Honestly I am not making this up. And get the celebrity list that they are naming, i.e. the ones that they think will be a draw: Leif Garrett, Vanilla Ice, and Stephen Baldwin. That means all the others are less famous than these three. I mean come on Leif Garrett, Vanilla Ice, and the ugly, Jesus-crispy, Baldwin. But this gave me an idea, alright it gave me and my friend Mary Sue an idea. How bout when some celebrity does somethign illegal or just really stupid instead of sending them to jail where we, the California tax payer, have to pay for there room and board we instead send them to Celebrity Bull Riding. I mean that is just stupid. And how sad is it that these three people would rather do Celebrity Bull Riding instead of oh lets say work anywhere else. I mean not only is bull riding dangerous but it is just plain stupid. I woudl rather get in a car with Lindsey Lohan than ride a bull. Okay, well maybe I'd rather get in a car with Lindsey Lohan. (I'm sorry tragic story that I am making light of. I'm going to leave it in but I still feel bad about it.)
Well tomorrow is Alcatraz and perhaps manicures and pedicures. Apparently my sister doesn't like pedicures because she doesn't like people "playing" with her feet and my niece doesn't like getting a manicure because as best I can tell she bites her fingernails. So we'll see if it happens.
So get reading folks. Because come Friday this bird is going to sing. And I want to talk about it with other people. KT has already called to talk to me about the book but we need other conversation partners.

I don't have time to read this week as I'm getting ready for vacation, but I plan to read it next week when I'm relaxing back in Alaska. So after that I'd be happy to talk to you. Last I knew, my parents only had dial-up so phone might be better than online chatting. But hey, we'll only be one hour apart with the time zone!
I like the bull riding option for the courts. But then, I wonder, if they're stupid enough to drive drunk, bull riding would be no big deal to them . . . until they got thrown and reality REALLY hit them. Hmm . . . ya got me thinkin'
