Less Than 2 Weeks!!
Panic time!! We now have less than 2 weeks until we leave, and it’s going to be a struggle to get everything done. That’s for me to fret about though, so let me fill you in, instead, on the fun things we’ve been doing amidst the chaotic packing.
Mike got me an early birthday present this week (my birthday’s not until July 31st for those of you planning on putting a Cold Stone Creamery ice cream birthday cake on dry ice and shipping it to Nicaragua for me). He surprised me with tix to the John Mayer concert that was held here in the Valley on Wednesday night! 🙂 Ben Folds opened, followed, of course, by John Mayer. I really enjoy his music, so this was a great birthday present — good work, Mike!
I also had my last bartending shift at TGIFriday’s this week. I’ll miss a few people, and I hope they keep in touch via this blog, but all-in-all I’m glad to be done.
I’ve been rereading Harry Potters 5 & 6 since the 7th and final book is coming out on July 21st (1-4 have already been re-read to death). I’m concerned about obtaining an English-language copy in Central America, but I imagine I’ll find one somewhere. If you wanna chat Harry Potter, I’ll respond to comments. What are your predictions for book 7? Is Dumbledore really dead?!? Did you notice that I have the same birthday as Harry? Are you now so disgusted that you’ll refuse to read my blog ever again? I promise to keep Harry Potter comments to a bare minimum — I’m just babbling on since I’m not actually traveling yet. Trust me, this blog will feature plenty of beautiful pics taken by Mike and hopefully some amusing travel anecdotes as well.
Just trying to keep you on your toes and checking back! Until next time!

Dumbledore is dead. JK Rowling has said this like 100 times and keeps telling people to just deal with the fact that he’s not coming back. I think we’ll find out somewhere near the end of the book that snape is actually on the good side.
