I finished up the first book in the Harry Potter series over the weekend. I was quite reluctant to ever read any of the Potter books but when I started to see the movie trailers I knew I would enjoy the books. I would recommend at least the first one to anyone. It was quite entertaining and a very easy read. After I put down that book I went and got Fellowship of the Rings, the first volume in the Lord of the Rings. I have until December 19th to finish it, when the movie comes out. Good thing too. The type is small and hard to read.

I’ve been knee deep in wedding stuff for the past month. If you’ve been looking for me and I haven’t be around, I’ve been doing wedding stuff. This week it’s folding Cootie Catchers. I think I’ve folded around 150 of them.

I used the vegatable steamer for the first time a couple of nights ago. What a difference it makes with rice.

Honestly, there’s nothing interesting in my life going on right now. I take joy in doing things for the wedding because it makes Courtney so happy to have some help. I’ve gotten utterly sick of most everything on television (except, of course, for Boston Public, The Tick, ER, 24, the Simpsons, Malcom in the Middle, Family Guy, Futurama, King of the Hill, and That 70s Show) that I’ve continued to read anything within arms reach. My computer is a piece of shit. It has started this horrid habit of rebooting when the CD-Rom drive spins. So really, nothing is new with me.

I do have a site redesign in my head that I’m excited about. I haven’t taken the time to hack it up yet but I’ve still got it in my noggin, where it’s safe.

The coolest thing I’ve seen in awhile has been the program Quicken 2002 Deluxe. I LOVE to watch money move around. It absolutely astounds me where,how, and why I spend money. The best part about the application is all the graphs and visual cues it gives about finanaces. What once was a loosely run hack budget has become a Fortune 500 CFO-style finance committee. With Courtney there to help balance out the grinches on the board. *ahem*

As a final note, if you have heard some or, god forbid, all of the previous stories, then you probably hang out with me too much. ;)
