8 days 17 hours 50 minutes

1. harry potter comes out soon, and i'm especially stoked because there was a marathon of all the movies this weekend which i obviously watched. so now i'm definitely in the hp mood. i'm hoping to see the new one with my family and/or max when i'm home.

2. i'm watching "Sarah Palin's Alaska" ... it is HIILARIOUS. and so fascinating. she tries to tie everything back to her political ideals and policies. for instance, a man writing a book about her just moved in next door to her house so her husband put up a 14 foot fence. she explained that the fence was representative of america protecting its borders... so very interesting to watch. it basically seems like a tourism promo for Alaska. but it's working, my lifelong dream of traveling to Alaska has been renewed. so beautiful.

3. i am home in less than 9 days!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY MOTHER!!!!

love,

halee :)
