YAY!! Simon Prebble commented on my blog, again, this time declaring himself a little more plainly. Read it here. Thanks for the comment, I feel extra special and a little bit famous. 🙂

Mini-Burgers
Tonight we made mini turkey burgers for dinner. Each burger was about silver dollar sized, seasoned and cooked on the grill. They were served on party potato rolls and topped with a spinach leaf, a slice of roma tomato, a slice of Vidalia onion and a strip of fresh grilled sweet orange pepper.
Tasty and cute!

Harry Potter-thon
Cristin invited me over for a 12 hour Harry Potter movie watching party on Saturday. I missed the first movie but arrived at 3 PM for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. After that we watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and then Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It was a very nice, intimate party. It’s gotten me excited for the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
I got to meet Kelli and Jamie, both very sweet girls, as well as Matt, who seemed nice and kept out of our way while we chatted and drank.
Kelli and Cristin really outdid themselves gettting ready for the party. Ele would have been impressed! Kelli was even wearing Gryffindor colors. 🙂
- Wands – Pretzles coated with dark and white chocolate
- Polyjuice Potion – Grape juice, sprite and vodka
- Hogwarts Cake – Castle-shaped cake filled with cream
- Gryffindor Jello Shots – Both yellow and burgundy jello shooters (quite strong!)
I brought some Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans and they were a hoot to try! Cristin’s blog linked to to some funny photos on her Flickr album. I also got some good snuggles with Lily, Cristin’s adorable kitty. (I promise I didn’t take her home with me!)

Ele’s Fourth of July Party!
Ele was super-smart and hosted a Fourth of July party on the Tuesday night before the fourth. She sent out these adorable handmade invites and her party was no let-down.
Ahh, I love hot dogs, so her hotdog bar was a perfect treat!
The whole spread was quite nice, very delectable!! Those fruit parfaits were amazing!!
Our hosts, Will and Ele! Thanks for the great party, guys!

I wish I could take the day off so I could watch 12 hours of Dead Like Me today.

Mom & Dad’s New Kittens
Mom and Dad have some kittens that are only a few months old. They are TEENY and so so adorable. Also, very rambunctious.
Here’s Gracie. She is so interested in everything. And takes every opportunity to scale people, either climbing right up your leg or jumping directly onto your chest. Crazy Gracie!
Here’s Gracie with her nails dug into my face. She seems obsessed with glasses and is always attacking them. 
Marmalade (a.k.a. Furball) is a few weeks older than the other two, and a little more shy. So very sweet, though, can’t you tell? 
And then there’s Shadow, who reminds me so much of Cayce. Also very sweet, and not as crazy as Gracie.
