Owl Post

I am writing this because none of my other posts are ready. So this is about last week. Firstly I'd like to mention that you know it's cold outside when the air conditioned library is warmer than the outside. That's just sad. It was in the 70s all last week which was unfortunately the same week as all these water trips were planned. I first went with my friend and youth group to the dunes. It was cloudy, windy, and cold. I had a good time though.

Two days later my class decided to go to the water park. Hmm...not such a great idea. Everyone was cold to the point of blue lips. At least I didn't get burned, much.

This also seems to be hunting week because my dear, bad cats have been bringing home a lot of gifts. Thanks guys....I suspect most of what George brings is just found sacrifices from the other two. I think it has just been a bad week in general because I have this nasty story about spoiled milk.

So usually we get milk delivered every other Monday morning. So we had to cancel the order for the week that we were in Wisconsin because we wouldn't be there to bring it in. Well, turns out we didn't cancel or something because this past Monday when we expected the delivery to be back on, I went out to check if we had new milk. But upon opening the cooler, I saw the most horrific thing I've seen in my entire life.

Five broken glass milk bottles, milk filled to the half point of the chest, and maggots. Thousands and thousands of them. Crawling on the top and sides and then just swarming in the spoiled milk. I stared for about four seconds, then the stench hit me, I slammed the lid, and ran retching into the house. Nastiest. Sight. Ever. That includes all the little organs left around by the cats. Those are plain disgusting, but this, this was beyond words.

I hope you enjoyed that tidbit. On a better note, it was Harry's birthday yesterday. I went to his party at the bookstore where they were having a big celebration. Lots of muggles of course, but it was good to see that the fandom lives on. Unfortunately I had to leave before they did anything but the trivia. There was a good fifty people there. Happy 34th Harry Potter, you're still going strong.
