Special Delivery
I'd imagine I've just had an experience shared by millions of people around the world today: this very nice lady came up to my house in a post office truck and gave me an orange box and a smile. On the box where the words ATTENTION MUGGLES - DO NOT DELIVER OR OPEN BEFORE JULY 21! I thanked her profusely (after all she did just complete one of many Saturday deliveries) and ran inside. As soon as my kids get home, we'll open the box and then start my ordeal (again, probably shared around the world): I've promised to read the new Harry Potter book to my kids, and their going to hold me to it. I guess it's a good thing it's raining--we're not going to be doing much else for quite a while. Well, as long as it takes me to read 607 pages out loud, anyway.
