so freaking excited...

       yes, i'm painfully aware how pathetic i am. but i feel like a kid trying to go to bed on christmas eve. wow. i even filled out my ncaa-style bracket on mugglenet.com to predict what was going to happen in the book. keira just called me--she will be picking up her copy in about an hour and fifteen minutes. i, however, have to squirm until 5pm tomorrow when i get off work. it will be waiting for me then, delivered by amazon. if not i will probably become unstable. i'm so anxious. and envious that my british pals are probably half-way through it by now. gah!

       i'm not going to talk to anyone tomorrow or watch any news or read any papers in case of spoilers. stupid new york times. that really does upset me. i'm not really angry about it, but it's just stupid, reading a leaked copy of the book then printing plot details in probably the most widely circulated newspaper in the nation before anyone has a chance to read it and be excited about it for themselves. that is what you might call irresponsible journalism.

       i'm also tired. we made over 1,500 vanilla creams today. by hand. we actually made the cream yesterday then let it set up overnight, but that was the fun part. today was still fun, but there were a ton of the little devils. by the end, my little zig-zag design (not the one i mentioned earlier--this one is a candy factory standard) looked like a crazy person had done it. haha. white chocolate lines all over the place. i started doodling on the conveyor belt in white chocolate with the piping gun. also started practicing my lettering. kris laughed when "will you marry me" fell off the end of the line (we're starting to get into wedding things and we've had a special order or two--i wasn't just being stupid).

       i think i should go to sleep. maybe tomorrow will come faster that way. and i'm sure i won't have any sleep tomorrow night.
