Actually, Hufflepuff has more members than Slytherin too.
See! I was just surprised, and charmed, that it was so popular.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Art Crawl!!!
Thanks, David.
Bodemeister was excellent. I wonder if there had been an option to get to the front and slow things down a bit. . . what might have happened.
On the other hand, I'll Have Another had a perfect trip.
If they both show up for the Preakness it should be interesting.

not your mom's socks.
Neighborhood festival today. Neighbors and HPF set up a lemonade stand. They're doing pretty well - still keeping it together after 3 hours.
... I go to take a shower, leaving the dads in charge, and return to find HPF's got her violin out and is busking on the sidewalk.
At least she's practicing, I guess.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

A time-honored tradition.

Because books.
When Ben was five, I found him out on the front lawn having an "art sale" of pictures he'd drawn. He was flagging down cars.
Nice entrepreneurial spirit, but I had to explain why that might not be a great idea. He did sell one for $5, though.

I wish I could knit. This shit would be right up my alley.
ION, I am not sure if this fits into the definition of absurdity (I feel strongly it does), but I also think there must be a German word for this that does not exist in English. What does one call it when one is in the middle of packing (I am taking pictures of my packed CDs and labeling boxes) with my phone and I get an email notification from my current Dean asking me to speak to an Associate Dean at the graduate school who may convince me to stay!
I have boxes I purchased in my hallway. I bought extra tape at Staples on Friday. I have daily alerts in my email from the new city with information on houses for rent. I have appointments with realtors next week to interview.
And yet the emails come.
I need to write my formal resignation email and be done with it. Clearly the verbal approach is not working.

Ooooooooh! That would be an excellent project for my company's silent auction in December.

Speaking of Pottermore, who is LightWillow? I assume it's someone here.

Argh. I'm having the monthly intractable headache. This is day 3. Pain all down the right side of my head, wrapping around to my neck and shoulder. It's not bad enough to send me to bed, but bad enough that I can't concentrate on doing anything. I've tried all the medicinal weapons at my disposal: Advil, Tylenol, decongestant, antihistamine, caffeine, Valium, nothing's touching it.
In good news, I've officially gone down a pants size. Had to get new jeans, my old ones were literally falling off me.
