A Day Late

While I'm certain the last week of passionate page turning has done me permanent eye damage, I am so happy that around 11:45pm yesterday I completed my challenge to read Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix in (almost) one week. It actually took eight days, but I'm sparing myself any self punishment for that fact based on the distractions of last Thursday; having been called away for a job interview.

Today is the day after, and someone forgot to tell the clouds that I'd finished because they continue to bring flurries of pouring rain. Even so, trapped indoors and already missing its seemingly bewitching pages I decide that it is still too soon to begin the next volume... Maybe tomorrow? :)

Also, I have to admit my completely inappropriate crush on Cho. Sorry. 

PS. Yes, I know I need some sleep and a haircut. I have both booked for Saturday.

Yummm....

In the end the cookies succumb to the threat of violence, and turned out brilliantly today (yay!).

Harry Potter And The Cookie Killer

I think I've done something very dangerous. I set myself the challenge of reading Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix in one week and I'm already two days behind. Some people could breeze through this book in a couple of days I'm sure, but this thing has been leering at me from the top of the book shelf ever since I started the series and time has come to finally tackle it. In the past I haven't read that often, but the whole idea of setting a deadline is to start changing that, plus T.V. programming of late has been even worse than usual so I'm swapping it out for the printed and bound kind of entertainment.

Also, I've been trying to bake cookies and our oven keeps ruining them. What? I can blame the oven... it's malicious nature is exposed by it's hellish fiery breath. The first batch I did were still soft, the second batch are overdone. I'm going to try again tomorrow and if they don't turn out perfect I'm going to hurt them so hard that turning out fit for consumption will look favorable.
