I just realized that I don't know HOW my copy of the new Harry Potter book is getting to me!! My mom ordered me a copy, but from WHERE??? She will be out of town this weekend. Does that mean that I can't get my copy till she gets back? And, if so, WHEN?!? I have nothing planned for this weekend, dudes. My reading could be completely unfettered as I would shove the fan damily out of the house so as to have private time.
Crappity crap.

The last time a new Harry Potter book came out, Bridget had just been born. Oh, 'twas the perfect excuse to plop down on the couch, nurse, and read!!
Do you suppose I could still get away with that now that Bridget is two??
I know that my book is arriving at my home that day, but in an odd twist of fate so is a friend of mine I haven't seen in 3 years. So I will be spending my time with her, while Harry sits neglected on my bedside table. This is when I started to wish I hadn't preordered it via mail, because if I picked it up and read straight through until I had to leave for the airport, I just might finish it. sigh.
My book is arriving via my dh via an early morning shopping trip. I'm so excited!
I decided to send my hubby out at midnight to snatch one for me. I'm kind to him like that.
This is where being grown is so cool. Both of my girls LOVE to read and I get first dibs. Because I am Mama. Then I get to hint about dire things and drive them crazy as they read it themselves. Being mean has never been so much fun.
I'm having the same melt down... mind is supposed to be coming UPS... only one problem: UPS DOESN'T DELIVER HERE ON SATURDAYS! I am just sick! SICK SICK SICK!!! :P I might just run to WalMart and grab a copy and then take the other one back once it gets here... how lame is that? I am a total Harry Potter Geek...
Maybe you should buy a second copy just in case....you could always send the other one back.
Mine's coming from Amazon. Guarenteed delivery....however my mail guy doesn't come until 4ish, so I'm going to be sitting there waiting to pounce on him the second he shows up.
Oh and Melissa, there is no such thing as a Harry Potter Geek. Nothing wrong with being in love with Harry, nothing at all. :)
We ordered our from Amazon because it was cheaper and came with free shipping.
Alas, we also won't see it until the first of August. I'm going to have to give my 12 year old an IOU for his birthday next week!
I ordered mine MONTHS ago from the Walmart website. I HOPE it's going to arrive tomorrow....Maybe I should go check. It's going to stink though because I ordered it for my son but he doesn't get home until late afternoon and if the book arrives first.....well, I don't know if I'll be able to contain myself. I could have a crying kid...... I will TRY to be good. LOL
