Well, first let me say a little something about Harry Potter. Just to show you how life changes from the LAST time the book came out! My book did not show up after 2PM and I didn't even know it because the fantastic deliverer did not knock on the door when they dropped it off. So I'm writing thank you notes, Jeff's at the computer. I'm going to finish up the one I'm working on and go distract him from the what looks to me like boring as watching paint dry programing he's working on. First I ask him if he checked the mail when he was out. He gets up, opens the door, then closes it. I wonder why he didn't go get the mail. Whatever. He walks by me several times. I don't look up. Finally he chucks a big package on the table. Oh, it came! Crazy crazy. And I didn't even read it right then. I got distracted.

But the big success was our first official dinner guest (not counting Mom and Dad moving us in and eating with us on the floor/couch!) We had Jeff's friend over for dinner. Super nice guy he met doing a jr. high ministry. I made a chicken recipe I'd made before and I must say - it was one of the very rare times a recipe actually turned out really good. I served the dinner, then sat down, tasted my first bite nervously, and breathed a sigh of relief - it actually tasted really good! Shawn stayed and talked with us until almost 10! (Such a change having someone besides us!) It was a very enjoyable evening.

So tomorrow Harry Potter - the final book! - comes out and of course I am super excited (anyone else?!)
It will also be interesting to see how my role as wife and hostess (yes, we are having a friend of Jeff's over for dinner Saturday night!) will play out when I will be constantly wanting to dive into the next chapter and find out what the heck is going on! It'll be an interesting weekend. I have a feeling Jeff will be like the little boy who has a thousand nice toys to play with, but finds it more fun to pick on his sister and terrorize hers. I anticipate quite a few attempted distractions!

In other news; I have 2 interviews today, 1 on Monday, and a 2nd interview on Wednesday. We'll see! If anyone is looking for a job might I recommend - find yourself a personnel placement company! Not a temp agency, but a company which other companies hire to find people for their needed positions (meaning the placement people do free searching and networking for you!) That's how I've gotten 3 of my interviews. The first one starts in 35 minutes. Gotta go!
