### Stir crazy

I agree. No talking.
Except that I haven't had a chance to even crack that book yet.
I ordered it from Barnes and Noble months ago. Actually, it turns out I ordered it twice. The first time I never got a confirmation e-mail they usually sent, so I ordered it again. On Thursday, I got two order confirmations and two tracking numbers and am STILL (on Saturday at 3:19p.m.) waiting to see either book.
Sadder still, I was at Wal-Mart buying some name tags for our ward picnic this morning and I saw the flat of Harry Potter books, still quite full and without hordes of crowds surrounding it. Thinking to myself how easy it would have been to just buy one this morning, I walked right by it and, of course, didn't buy one or even peek because I had one coming.
SIGH!
Since I had set aside today for reading Harry Potter, I have now cleaned my house twice over, stacked everything I am taking to school in the corner of the room (or at least retried to stack everything again into a tighter corner since I really don't have big corners in my apartment, rearranged all the furniture in my bedroom and took a nap. I am going stir crazy and still NO BOOK.
SIGH!
On the other hand, I did take the quiz Jenafer posted. I got 109 out of 113, although I did, I admit, look up how many staircases at Hogwarts and how many ax blows it took to not sever Nearly Headless Nick's head. But as I went right to the correct page to find out the correct answers, out of 3,341 different pages, (total number of pages in all six previous hardback copies of the books) I think I should get partial credit.
I love you all. Enjoy your reading!
