I used to spend so much time on this site :) oh the memories.. I had to post something on it to keep it alive, and I couldn't let it go!!

<3 always, Phoebe

Hey! wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? Now that I'm working, it's harder to do the stuff I'd like to do - just run out of time everyday! I'm not used to it yet, because for nearly 3 years, I'd have all the time in the world to do exactly what I want, when I want - not anymore!

Let's see.... On the tv front: Monk and Psych are back, along with a new show Burn Notice. Monk has been just eh.... alright, I've been enjoying Psych of course, and Burn Notice is semi-entertaining. Besides that, no tv for me!

on the  movie front: Order of the Phoenix = wonderful; I've seen it a fair few times. sad thing is, it left my theater (awwwww!) I saw Hairspray yesterday - that was fine, I like musicals for the most part. One thing I didn't like was the racial plot, but besides that most the songs were alright - I like the songs of the credits better (I've heard those many times...)

Books: Like Deathly Hallows? I can't believe I didn't post anything about it!! I'm sure you're all done, but just in case I won't give examples. The book for me was alright, the ending was so clever.... I thought it moved a bit slow in some of the middle parts, but it usually led to an action scene. I didn't like the death toll, and I didn't like Dumbledore's involvement - but that's all I'm saying!

I'm going to be starting my senior year on August 20 (woah, first time in three years I'm on time!) My classes were all messed up (hats off to you, Granger Christian) and had a right fine old time figuring them out. I'm still not sure whether or not I have the right amount of credits, but I should be finding out soon, as my books are in the mail. by the sound of it, not a fun year

So, I've been trying to save my money for something useful, like a car. you know how hard it is to save, especially when a few stores have Harry Potter merchandise? haha, so tempting... I splurged a bit at Hot Topic... that was fun. I think now I'd like to buy a computer... maybe a laptop... I don't know, but I've got to keep saving a few months for that one!

I'll let you go with a little political cartoon that I got from Rush Limbaugh's website... I think it may have actually happened -

All the best,

Order of the Phoenix

Just saw the midnight show.......

AMAZING!! 5 stars!!

I wouldn't say it was my favorite, but it was by far the funniest. They stayed very close to the book - Oh my goodness I can't stop thinking about it. Do watch it so we can discuss it more, because no matter how much I'd like to, I'm not giving anything away!

Hola mis amigos

Hey, all - how are you? amazingly quick update:

work = wonderful! everyone is so fun to work with, and it's so easy

tv = well, since my 24 is gone, my cousin recommended me to Traveler - I missed the first three episodes, and those were the ones with the action. So I'm going to start watching it, see how it'll be...

library = I've got to get a hold of Brittanie so we can brainstorm some Order of the Phoenix questions - maybe you can think of some! there's going to be a group discussion, so you can think about that as you read along

life = rosy peachy

Brittanie's birthday was 2 weeks ago, and I just wrapped her present - I would tell you what it is, but you never know who's eyes wander to my page...

Well, I am still working on my sewing projects, (haha 4 unfinished ones all together) and I just bought crinoline AND a hoop skirt - totally good price too ~ $18 for both of them, and to anyone who knows (which is.. nobody) that is a good deal

Guess what? July 11!!! coming up fast! I'd love to reread the HP books, but I'm much to s l o w of a reader - awww

Shall talk to all of you soon - comments make me happy!

My Prayers are answered

Hola, mis agmigos! Guess what finally happened to me? I got a JOB!!! I'm so excited - I was scared at first, because they called the day I left for my vacation, so I didn't get the guy's voicemail until yesterday... They hired somebody else, but my friend told me to call anyway.... I called, and the guy said "oh, I'm sorry. You are 3 days late" ... "JUST KIDDING!" But it was great - I walked in, he didn't ask me much, and said "ok, can you work tomorrow?"

But I'm getting ahead of myself - first: after Paul's graduation / party we drove to the Upper Penninsula to a cabin we've been staying in for 3 years now - the weather wasn't the best... Cold/Rainy/Windy - not great fishing weather, but excellent poker weather ~ Went with $75, came back with $64, though my high was $95 and my low was $23, so I'm not complaining! I may put a picture or two on here - we'll see if I find one I like!

Then today my dad and I drove to Chicago to visit my Uncle - Not doing so hot, but my dad always makes people in better moods. Probably going next week, too ~ It's becoming part of our schedule (uh-oh, I'm going to run out of movies to watch on the way!)

Shall talk to you all later -
