Hey everyone!

So I am super excited because in 4 hours I am going to be seeing the new Harry Potter movie: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!! I am so excited! I have already seen like 15 clips from it and it looks SO good. I am going over to the theatre to meet Kristy, Brooke and Michelle after I get off at 1pm so I can wait in line with them. We already have our tickets, don't worry. Yippee!

So this week has been a fun one. I went and saw Pride and Prejudice on Monday. It was really good. I had to get over my obsessive love of the original A&E version with Colin Firth and realize that they were squeezing the story into 2 hours as opposed to 6 hours. But once I dealt with that I really enjoyed the movie. It was really beautifully shot and the music is gorgeous. I am really resisting temptation to buy the soundtrack and hopefully will continue to do so. But ladies, I would definitely recommend dragging your husbands to this one. Very romantic.

I went to Julian earlier this week with the gang. It was really fun. I dyed my hair dark brown that morning. We had apple pie (well I had pecan pie) and apple cider. Very fun fall activity. On Wednesday we went up to LA. I helped Marisa and Michelle with some work that they had to do for their dad then we went to the Museum of Contemporary Art to see the King Tut exhibit. It was really cool and crazy to think of how old all that stuff is! But I was mighty disappointed when I found out that King Tut himself was not there! The mummy and sarcophagus are still in Egypt. But they had another sarcophagus for one of the queens and A TON of other stuff. There was a head sculpture of Queen Nefertiti that was my favorite. So then we went to Pink's which is a really famous hot dog stand on Melrose Avenue. It was fantastic! I got the Martha Stewart dog which comes with a 10" hot dog, sauerkraut, grilled onions, sour cream, bacon, and jalapenos. A heart attack in a bun! But it was delicious! Then we went back to Matthew's apartment and watched Lost before going home. It was a fun day. I took a sick day from work since I have to use them or lose them before the end of the year.

So anyway, Harry Potter is the plan for today. I am quite enjoying not having a cat anymore but mostly I think it is just not being responsible for anything but myself. I guess I am just selfish that way! I can't wait to come up on Wednesday for Thanksgiving. Should be a nice relaxing weekend. Remember to record Lost for me because I will be on the plane when it airs! I will bring up my first season DVDs and try to give you guys a crash course if you want it. For now I am trying to stretch out my clean clothes until then. I would rather just do all my laundry at mom and dad's for free! Oh the life of living without a washer and dryer!

It is great to hear from you all. Looks like you had fun Brooke! I am sure you did. Sorry it's so cold in Cleveland Tom and Tracey! It is about 70 degrees outside here...you should visit! You should all visit. I have room for a wonderful luxury air bed in my living room anytime you all want to come! And Disneyland is only an hour away! (I am going next month :) _ Anyway, enough from me!

Love you all!
