\"this<\/a><\/p>\n

All of you have already read Harry Potter so I can only ‘scan’ your blogs or you’re going to tip me off and I will be so pissed…like when Cat let the cat out of the bag that Carrie won American Idol.
\nSo I am just ‘scanning’ and if I see the word “Harry” I just click away from you.<\/p>\n

I’m not ready to read it. I know myself too well. I read the first one in like 7 hours and I was only reading the first couple pages to see if Kara would like it. I then read the other books in less than 48 hours each. I told myself when I was reading the last brick of a book that I better just take it slow because I didn’t know when I would get my next fix. I read it 32 hours.
\nSo my next fix is sitting in Wal*Mart at the front door wearing that pretty blue cover and frilly font on the cover just tempting me.<\/p>\n

After cleaning the closet yesterday I crawled back into bed in tears. Kara handed me a book and said I should lay there and read and not strain my back anymore. She might be a doctor when she grows up. i hope.
\n“You haven’t read a book in a long time.” She reminds me.<\/p>\n

Confessions of Shopaholic. How did I get this book? Oh yeah, my beautiful friend, Lisa gave it to me. I’m totally NOT a shopaholic and couldn’t tell Jacklyn Smith suit from DKNY suit.
\nI’m just going to read long enough to get my mind off the backpain and then I will get up and start the bathroom.<\/p>\n

About 3 chapters in I realize I am screwed. Let me explain. You know the movie, “Meet the Parents”? That movie caused me physical pain to watch. I CAN NOT stand to watch someone go through so much bad stuff. I wanted to jump into the screen and save him from himself or at least punch the dad for being an ass. I know. I KNOW there will be happy ending, but serious anxiety is had by watching that movie. I loved the movie the second time I saw it because I know he’s going to be alright and it works out in the end, but the first time I watched it I felt woozy afterward.
\nThis book is much like that. I found myself HATING this girl for being a shopaholic. I wanted her to go back to her flat and just read or something. I kept reading because now I HAVE to make sure she’s okay.<\/p>\n

I finished the book at 2am…and I was smiling like a loon. It worked out. I knew it would. I’m not a big fan of the ‘happy ending’ either, but this was good. It wasn’t a ‘happy ending’ – it was a realistic ending and I love that.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, if the stars (and my back) are aligned perfectly I will go out and buy Harry Potter’s book and like all you that have abandoned your blog for that damn book, I will do the same.<\/p>\n

Oh and Tomorrow is Friday and that means STUFF PORTRAIT FRIDAY and this week theme is ‘What’s for dinner?” (check the left hand side of my blog for the items)
\nDo you know what this means??? Shaun’s making chicken casserole for dinner tonight!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
