GreenCanary And The Deathly Hallows

This weekend, a friend and I sat around and did nothing but eat and read the newest Harry Potter book. She took residence on my couch, I parked myself in the papasan.

I am proud to announce that we both finished all 5 million pages in record time. We laughed. We cried. We ate so much junk food that I feared one or both of us would lapse into a diabetic coma.

Food and beverages consumed while reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:

  • 3 quarts of grape Kool-Aid
  • 1 medium sausage and pepperoni pizza from Domino's
  • 1 pastrami sandwich
  • 1 order of chicken strips (Domino's)
  • 1 family-sized bag of salt & vinegar potato chips
  • 1/2 family-sized bag of sour cream & onion potato chips
  • 1 package of Chewy Chips Ahoy cookies
  • 1 large bag of Skittles
  • 24 Pillsbury chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven
  • 4 bowls of Lucky Charms cereal
  • 2 20-oz bottles of Coca-Cola
  • 1 combination platter of Kung Pao chicken, fried rice and an egg roll
  • 1 pint of sweet and sour chicken
  • 2 16-oz bottles of lemonade
  • 1 bag of popcorn

Needless to say, I feel less than stellar today. A week-long purge may be required.

That is an IMPRESSIVE list. That's... no, really; it's an AMAZING list.

You're my hero(ine). Change the Skittles for Peanut M&M's and I might almost propose to you (which would require me to become Mormon, as I'm already married).

Is it true, Dumbledore dies in the end? I hope not.

wunelle - Looking back, now that my tummy is feeling better, I'm a bit impressed as well! I don't know what's more impressive though, the amount of food we ate, or the fact that I finished the entire book.

t - I will not tell! Oh, who am I kidding? I'll totally tell, but offline because I'll fear for my life if I ruin the end for anyone. (People feel very strongly about Harry Potter's fate.)

Okay, that looks like a lot, but remember: it took two people to eat it all.

Oh, so you baked cookies too!

cghill - I like to pretend that my friend ate most of that food :-)

lisslo - Heck yeah! I cheated this time and made Pillsbury, but I have been known to bake a pretty mean cookie.

Sounds like a good time to me. I'm only halfway through ;-)
