Its still incredibly HOT. Thank God for my Central Air....I am so spoiled! I have been reluctant to leave the house at all this weekend. I almost opted-out of a rock show.....Static-X at First Avenue. For those of you who haven't heard about First Avenue, it is THE club in the movie Purple Rain with my man, Prince. Well this also happens to be the HOTTEST effin club in ALL of Minnesota. So wouldn't it be a great idea to go to a heavy metal show in a club on the hottest day of the year, the humidity higher than my bathroom during a long, hot shower? I knew what it was like and it was all I could do to get myself motivated. I seriously debated between staying home and finishing Harry Potter or going to see this band who has so much energy, they kick my butt every time I see them. And I hadn't seen them in like 3 years. So, of course I had to go! There were a few opening bands so E and I hung out in the A/C'd bar upstairs where it was only 87' instead of 110' or hotter out on the floor. I stayed up there by myself for the first part of Static-X's set, but I just couldn't hear the music...so I braved the heat and sweat and went down closer to the floor. These guys were rockin out...one of my favorite heavy metal bands! ****For those of you who do not know this, E is a BIG time metal head. He LOVES all kinds of music, very ecclectic taste, but loves some head bangin' shizit. It has come to grow on my after all these years of us together :)
***So I finished reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince this morning. WOW! What an ending! Bring on Book 7...NOW! This is now my favorite book of the series because it explains so much and so much happens. It totally leaves you wanting to know how it all ties together in book 7. I have been following discussion of the book on a few message boards and find the theories pretty fascinating. I might even re-read the book soon, that is how much I liked it!
***I also got some scrappin' done this weekend. Did this layout. The letters that say"summer" are the Heidi Swapp ghost letters and I 'daubered" them and the ink smeared all over, so the little circles were my way of covering them up! I don't love how it turned out, but I have to prove to myself that I can make mistakes and let it go!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTI (right?? you said on my blog it was your bday right? LOL)

This layout looks great! Love the nice bright colours :) I finished HP Friday night ... but I have to say I was a bit disappointed with it. I really wanted to love it, maybe I just need time to think it over and talk it through with someone.
