Just a little more

I promise I will be back to idea's , crafts and cooking soon. I just need to get Harry out of my system first. I had had a plan to ask for a movie and book every Christmas for the next 7 years. However, while on a fancy date with Handy Andy at the local Walmart I saw a package of all the Harry Potter movies. For $40!!!!! I pleaded my case with Mr. Handy Andy left the store with my boyfriend Harry in a bag.

So as I was preparing for this post I went to the Walmart web site to find pictures. Lo and behold my Harry was being sold for 26.32 wide frame and 25.32 full frame! If you order the full frame you can have it shipped to the store for free!!!!!!!


I can't believe that price. It's an absolute steal!

A Harry Situation

You may have guessed by now that I am a pure blooded geek. Hey, I have no shame in admitting it. There is no sense in hiding something that is so obvious. After reading this post you will have written proof that I Melissa am the biggest geek you will ever meet or just read.
Some of you may have noticed a brief absence from blogging on my part. I have been off and on sick for about 2 months now. Sometimes feeling so awful that I couldn't get out of bed. During one of my worst days I called a friend to borrow her Harry Potter books. I had never read one and thought it would be great to read them before the Half Blood Prince came out. The first book is all it took. I am a huge fan and dream of one day owning my own Fire Bolt. Oh yes, I will display it proudly. Okay I know, I am a thirty something mother of 3, I shouldn't be dreaming of being a wizard. But I do and I did say wizard. I agree whole heatedly with Lily, being called a witch is just rude.
A wand is a must have. The funny thing is you can buy a replica of most of the characters wands here or order a all wood wand here.(As pictured below.)

Every Christmas for the next 7 years I am going to request a movie and a book until I have the entire collection.
And that's not all! Oh no, why stop there you can get Harry Potter board games, jewelry, beanies, scarves and much much more!!! :) Check out this 20 Q. How fun. Yeah my friends I have gone off the deep end and have fallen into a pool of Potter.

Now you may be thinking I'm obsessed, but it turns out I'm not. I just took the are you obsessed with Harry Potter quiz and it turns out have appropriate of amount love for all things Potter.
If you haven't visited JK Rowlings official site and you too love Potter. Then I suggest you visit her here as soon as you can. It's fun loving the books, but you just may fall in love with the Author after reading her personal thoughts. You also get a chance to know the characters better and read parts that were left out of the books.
Here are 2 links to fan sites:
