books & boxes

so. last night i finished the 6th harry potter. it was sooooo good. oh my gosh. 

i could not put it down. i loved it. my favorite one yet. 

so of course--- i want to read the 7th one. 

but i think im going to wait. 

i went to the library today and checked it out--- but its about 800 pages. and i start school next week. 

oh and i read slow. realllly slow. 

anyway.... i've decided to save harry until christmas break--- and am currently debating what book to read next. 

i wanted to read 'the glass castle' but they didn't have it in at the library :( 

do you have any suggestions?!?!?! 

in other news.... we had an earthquake today. 

ryan was at his office and said his desk started shaking. he said he thought he was loosing his mind- but then he saw that there was an earthquake!! i didn't feel a thing. im kinda bummed about that! i spent a lot of time this afternoon hoping for an 'aftershock' or something... but nothing. 

oh. can i also mention its in the 70's here?? and in the 50's at night?!?! ive been wearing jeans and my cardigan today. oh my heart be still. im thrilled. 

and last but not least--- the box. 

so our puppy- mowgli is so small he can't jump on the couch. he drives me and ryan crazy bouncing trying to get up- and then he will drop his toy and want down to get it... etc. its a painful circle. so today--- i took a box. loaded it down with old magazines and then wrapped it up in some nice thick brown paper. so now we have a not to painful looking step for him! 

its actually working too. 

im thinking if this works i may actually make a cute cloth cover for it!

anyway--- off to celebrate my mema's 80th birthday this weekend!! so excited. my ENTIRE extended family will be at a cabin in the mountains this weekend. its going to be a blast!!!

love & peace & cool weather wishes granted your way!
