I have been MIA for the last week or so. First I took a small two day trip with my sweetie. It was a short work trip for him and a relaxing one for me. I thought I needed a few days to decompress and relax before we start school in the next few weeks. We went to the town of Ottawa, IL. It was really nice. The only thing that wasn't so nice was that the air conditioner in our room didn't work! It has a huge jacuzzi and a king bed, just not so cool air. But we braved the harsh conditions and enjoyed ourselves any way.
The best part of the whole trip was going through St. Louis and Cahokia. I grew up there until my teen years. I saw my old Jr. High School and subdivision. I hadn't seen them in more than 10 years. Plus, I got to each my all time favorite Jack In the Box tacos twice. They are just one of those things that if you love them you will crave them forever. I have my whole family addicted.
Since my return on Sat. I have had my nose in my new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book. I picked it up Sun morning and had read over 400 pages by bedtime. That's good for me due to the fact that I have to sneak in reading during the day. I finished it today during Poogie's nap time and I have to say it was well worth the wait. I love all the books but this by far has been one you could hardly put down. I feel sad too that this is the last of the books, I will miss Harry.
I guess now I will just have to find a new obsession! Eragon and Eldest are good but they can't quite compete with Harry.
