get home, read page 469 while eating

read four pages, remember told Monty would be online, flip on computer and... here I am, but I think she's just reading, actually, which is what i'm off to do.

but, before i go, he's a pic of the dark mark...

and, don't know if i've ever posted this here... my kitties, cause they were sitting at my feet watching while Mark took the picture

Oreo is the one with the oreo cookie marking on her head; Harley is the orangsicle cat. or aka mistress erestor and fin-cat when i'm in the mood to address them as such

in a related note... Monty called TJ to see if he would consider getting in his Lucius costume and meeting us at the store... he replied he was going home to read... the sixth book... this was at 8... little shitter got a copy somewhere a few hours early... ooo, he's lucky i love him or i'd have been pissed...sneaky little devil...

*huggles* i go now to spend the weekend on the couch, a-reading...
