Around the House...

Circumstances have made it so I've spent the last couple of nights in Topeka putting stuff up and getting things around. This is Ezmerelda, she guards the place. She was a long ago gift from a friend who thought she looked like me. He added the glasses. :)

Here are a couple of my new happy places (note the daisies):

Check out the strange shelving thing in my bedroom. What to do? I put up family pictures. (On the left, my granddad, my grandmother and me, and my mom; on the right a bunch of family photos, my bros' senior and wedding pics, and my Lily scrolls.)

And, I just love this pic of Lex looking out with her tail curled around her feet. :)

Wizards and Dragons Gone Wild

I believe Khaentlahn used the word "insane" to describe the Harry Potter party at B&N. I snapped the above as Michael and I were moving from the "pre-line" into the actual line to get our copies. (The timestamp is 1:10 am.) By this point we'd been there several hours, but we found ways to kill time. Michael had a new book about dragons.
Check out the amazing drawing he did:

We hung out near the Harry Potter Scene It area (seemed appropriate). After all the joy and sharing that I saw last night, I'd be a pretty hard sell that HP is anything but a wonder.

Got home ~3, and fell asleep on the book at 4:30. :o)
