Soooooooo tired...

Icky...it's 5 am...I've been up all night, working like a House Elf...there are people coming today to take our refrigerator, stove, microwave, power transformers and wardrobes! I've been busy all night long, cleaning and moving things about. Actually, I started in the morning...but it's hard to get much done when you've got a poltergeist that won't leave your side. But now I'm finally working on the stove. Last thing. Biggest task. So tired. And they could be here in as soon as 2 and a half hours!!! Ugh...I guess I'd better get back to it...I'll be glad when we're on the road to Germany!!!

  2. Boo...It's Charity Burbage...I always forget that Deathly Hallows begins at the Malfoy Manor...::sigh::

    Week 8 activity - Anagrams!

    1. SPARSE VENUES = Severus Snape
    2. GO UNLOAD LOVE = Luna Lovegood
    3. A MOTH SEDAN = Thomas Dean
    4. FLUSH CIGAR = Argus Filch
    5. SLICK AIRBUS = Siruis Black
    6. DUMB ANALOG = Ludo Bagman

    Wow! This anagram was more challenging than the other ones. I can make easier sense of randomly jumbled letters than I can deconstructing actual words to make names...LOL But I got done, nonetheless, even with having to take the time to get a kid ready for school and take him to the bus stop. Whew! :)
