First day of classes

Well it's finally here, first day of classes at Hogwarts.  I am a third year student this time around and have been recently named Head of House.  I have a lovely prefect, Cassandra Goode, hopefully the two of us can keep our merry band of lion cubs happy and having a good time.

So we begin with assignment number one.  To describe why I picked the characters that I picked.

1-Luna Lovegood, she has such a pure heart.  She sees the good in people and the world as having a glass half full. She is not afraid to be different and does things she loves and enjoys no matter what others think.
2-Remus Lupin, he is a tortured soul with his curse as a werewolf and wants so much to lead a normal life. He is afraid to love (Tonks) for fear that he will hurt her. But they do resolve those issues eventually.  And you can always have fun with a werewolf theme.
3-Sirius Black-my all time favorite, HP character and actor period.  He is misunderstood, falsely imprisoned but always true to Harry and the order in-spite of his family connections and their pure-blood mania.  Besides, who can resist a big fluffy black dog.  Hmm, don't know if I can ever forgive JK for killing him off, but ah well, what doesn't kill Harry makes him stronger.

Well off to class now, don't want to be late for Potions.  Professor Snape is in an unusually foul mood today (ha, as if anyone can notice one from the other).

Back to School!

Well the start of term is finally here. I arrived early to set-up the dorm room and make sure all was in order. I am really anxious to see who will be coming back to school this year.  Cassie and I will have our work cut out for us keeping everyone on track and on assignment as it seems when we all get together we just want to visit and chat and have all kinds of fun.  We are doing character themes this year.  I am thinking our first assignment will  be to post why we picked who we picked and what we like about that character. I will have to start thinking about my choices and post something myself.

Well ::::looks down at watch::: time to set up cookies and start tea.

Back to School

Well it's almost here! Time to head back to Hogwarts. Monday is class sign ups. Hmmmm, I wonder if I'll finally get assigned Defense of the Dark Arts? Can't Wait!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Whew, It's been a busy few weeks. The holidays are just around the corner and my knitting needles have been flying, trying to get things done. We are going to AZ this weekend for Ed's family party, the office party on Wednesday, the Court Christmas Party next Saturday and the following Saturday the girls are coming over for baking and crafting day. It's gonna be busy.

Dragonsinger received her swap package and I am so pleased that she liked everything. I always worry that my spoilee won't like my taste, but so far so good.

We finally go the tree up and I will post photos later. But need to finish wrapping gifts that will be going with us to AZ.

Owl's Away

Well Tyto took off on his flight to Heavener, Oklahoma today to deliver a package to Rowan Dragonsinger. I so hope she likes everything I included. I can't wait till it arrives.

Of course this means that the term is slowly coming to an end. I always hate end of term. It's so quiet on the boards when the term is over and I have being on Holiday. Well, off to knit some more.

Where is Winnie?

Well Winnie is traveling to some interesting places this week. Some fine examples of modern and ancient architecture. First she traveled to Dubai and visited a library shaped like a book. Now that would be something neat to see. After that she went to Giza, Egypt to visit the pyramids. To me the photo she posted reminded me of the movie "the Mummy" with Brendan Frasier. I wonder where she if off to now.

Where is Winnie?

Well our Miss Wartbobble continues on her travels this week. She went to three different places, unfortunately I can only guess at two of them. The third location has way too many posibilities. So here is what she reports......

1) her first location was to a capital city built on a lake that has dissappeared to celelbrate "Dia de los Muertos" Well.........she is of course at Texcoco, Mexico. Modern day Texcoco, Mexico is where the original Aztec Capital Tenochitlan was built. It was built on the Lake Texcoco in the Central Mexican Plateau of Mesoamerica. Modern day Texcoco is the east of the current National Capital, Mexico City.

2) her second location is a Windy City where kites are built and flown and the home of a pink library. Well there are many windy cities, chicago for one, but Seattle, WA has a pink marble library, so I am going to guess Seattle, WA.

3) her third location is a Northern Coastal City that hosts an annual multicultural carnival. Oh my, could she possibly be in Brazil?

Well those are my guesses and I am sticking to them.
