Pot-Blocked!

I started reading "Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone" (J.K. Rowling, in case you live under a rock) to my daughter, the Diva.

She loved every minute of it and when we finished we watched the movie and discussed the things they didn't put in the film.

Now she wants to read "Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets."

I thought it wouldn't be a problem because my son has the entire Harry Potter series...except half of them are still hiding in the garage.

I looked through about half (if that) of the boxes in the garage, but I couldn't find it. I found the last three books in the series but that was it. I went to a library book sale and found another few books, and now I have every single book in the series EXCEPT "Chamber of Secrets."

So I started looking in our local libraries....

Home library: "We don't have it anymore. Someone took it and never brought it back."

Dear whomever did that....SHAME ON YOU!!!

Sister town's library: "Nope we don't have that one, sorry."

So we drove all the way into "town" and went to the big library. After some searching we finally found it, and we smugly went to the front desk to check it out.

And then were promptly told my library card expired last September.

WHAT???? I checked out "It" in December!! But it is a very small library (here) so I can see how they'd let me check books out without checking the expiration date (I didn't even realize it HAD and expiration date....) so we had to leave without the book.....AGAIN!!!

I drove home and found out the library is closed for whatever reason, so there's no point in trying to get back into "town" today.

SIGH.

I will try to look through the garage some more...its' ridiculous that a book that popular isn't anywhere local LOL. Oh well.
