Last night, we:

• Went to the beach


• Watched old episodes of The West Wing until 1am

Today we have:

• Slept in (I slept until 10, what the hell?!)


• Cleaned the house


• Bought new underwear/t-shirts
  
  
  • Scott got a shirt with the Periodic Table on it, captioned “I wear this shirt periodically” under it.
  
  


• Gone to two libraries, where we got …
  
  
  • a bunch of books for the boy (who isn’t even with us this weekend; we win parents of the year), including Hamster Princess by Ursula Vernon, which all three of us have been anxiously awaiting
  
  
  • some graphic novels and a book on steampunk jewelry making for Scott
  
  
  • two books from the library sale cart for me–one is Cinders, which my dash seems to recommend, and for $2, why not?
  
  


• Napped


• Finished cleaning while listening to Invisiblia and This American Life like a couple of intellectuals


• Downloaded all the Neil Gaiman Humble Bundle books I bought onto the iPad

Plan for the rest of the evening:

• Ordering books through Interlibrary loan


• Reading on the couch while listening to random-ass 80s and 90s music on iTunes radio
  
  
  • (I have a new chapter of BYL in my inbox, awaiting a first read, so …)

So last week we all took the Pottermore sorting quiz that was floating around the internet.  Our results were:

Me: Slytherin
Scott: Slytherin
Z: Hufflepuff
Mom: Ravenclaw
The Younger Niece: Gryffindor

Today, I had a brilliant idea for a t-shirt:

I want a shirt that says “Proud Parent of a Hufflepuff,” in Slytherin colors. Maybe a cute Ursula Vernon-style cartoon of a snake snuggling a baby badger.

Think of it! T-shirts in each House color, with “Proud Parent of a [insert house name here]. Because Harry Potter is as multigenerational as Disney, y'all.
