Thursday

I spent the day with Violent Black. She is nice, a bit snotty she ate all of my candy too. Going to have to be carefull around her, since I now know she has a sweet tooth too.
I hope Minee has some for sale so I can restock.

We do have the same interests in books and we both HATE divination with a passion. "Death is at your door." oooo...what garbage...please tell me something useful.

Violent said she would help me learn French. I think that will be funny to hear me speak French with my Mid-Western accent.

Isis is doing her back scratch on the carpet and groaning and grunting. I wonder if she is part pig?

Today while I had my nose in a book an owl dropped me a package. It is from my new dorm mate, Lavender Diggory-Dolohov. She is Head Girl this term and I am a Prefect. Still not sure how that happened but the Professors know what they are doing right?

See all of my goodies?

!the house cats thought the package smelled good too.
Bo, is visiting Isis before term starts show off their goodies.


there are 3 THREE skeins of Cascade yarn, a journal, reading glasses, a blow horn and pom-poms for cheer leading during Quidditch, a Slytherin patch, an Owl of my very own (cause i do not have one),and my favorite, snap snot.

Wednesday

It is a slow quiet morning waking up in a new dorm room. Isis has taken up most of the bed. I am still in amazement that a dog who is only 24 inches tall and 36 inches long can do that. Plus she burrowed under the covers and managed to take most of them too.

Isis is not magical like Grimm but she gets along with him just fine. It is funny watching them together because she is all dog and pretty much a spaz running, sniffing, digging, and rolling in whatever suites her fancy.
She crawled into that box and sat in front of the heater vent. She is my gift of giggles.

I was asked to be Prefect in Slytherin House and so far there has been alot of use of Muggle computers and spreadsheets. As of this morning we only have 3 people that have not updated their blogs. There have been emails and PMs sent out so it is our hope it gets done today.

It really does not take that long to do it. sigh..

This wonderful package was dropped on my dogs head. I get the feeling the Owl does not like dogs. I thought it was funny, Bo did not.

The candy was shared with my Friday Knit group and my hubby. I have 4 wonderful sock patterns , lots of new yarn to play with and more Ravenclaw colours. Now, maybe I can do one of those cool Ravenclaw socks from Emma W. or Minerva K.

Thanks Electra for spoling me!!!!!!!!!!
