Big congratulations to my friend Steph, brand new mother of Sydney Staley. Sydney was born yesterday, and I'm sure she will resume posting on her blog as soon as she has recovered from her transition into the world.

Summer has been going great for me. It's so nice to relax, read lots and lots of books, and begin relearning to play the piano. Last night, Kandice and Christin and I enjoyed watching The Horrors of Spider Island at the Hardenbrooks, with appropriate comments from the Mystery Science Theatre folks. I also got my first sunburn of the summer yesterday, by following Tammy around outside reading The Light Princess to her while she fertilized her flowers.

The Fun Book Club has begun and is, as promised, fun. As I imagined, it's going to be a bit difficult to work with everyone's crazy summer schedules, including my own. But I foresee lots of good times ahead anyway.

Last week, I went home and had my graduation party. It was really nice to be able to see a lot of people that I haven't seen for awhile, like Pam and Jaime. And, if I do say so, we had really wonderful food: Kandice's lettuce wraps from our picnic awhile back, and vegetable pizza and carrot cake from Costco. Yum!

The big event of this week is the release of the third Harry Potter movie, which we are going to see at midnight on Thursday night. It has actually already sold out in Boise, which scared me for a moment, until I realized it was playing in Nampa as well. It would have been awful to have to wait another twelve hours after it was released to see it!
