Ah... yesterday was nice. I think it was the first day all summer that I had to myself. I woke up, and decided to go with my brother to return some videos to the video store. While we were out, I picked up fresh fruit for smoothies! I made my first smoothies of the summer this week, which is really late for me. Then we went to Cebolla's, so that was really good, too. I love their chimichangas.
So far, I've made blueberry, peach, and banana. The peaches weren't so good; they weren't quite ripe enough yet. I have some kiwis and strawberries, but I'm deciding whether I want to use them in a smoothie or put them in a salad that I plan on making for dinner tonight.
I also finished all seven of the Harry Potter books. Yay for me! It was fantastic to read them all - very refreshing. I've started a new book that my mom got for me while I'm in Florida, The Last Patriot. It's a little bit confusing at the start, because it changes perspectives about every chapter, which are usually about three-seven pages long. There was an assassination in the first chapter and a terrorist bombing in the fourth. The author, Brad Thor, writes similarly to Dan Brown; they began their books almost the exact same way. Not that I'm trying to judge Thor's book early, but I have a feeling he's trying to get some attention by piggy-backing off Brown's unique style. He may be trying to prey off of America's recent "Oh my God - it's a conspiracy!" obsession. All the same, it's not bad so far, so I'll keep reading.
I just read that this is the seventh book in a series on Thor's web site (where I got the picture). Ha, ha... oh, well. It reads as if it's a single or a first, so we should be good.
