My take:  <em>Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!<\/em>  Mr President, if you don&#8217;t understand the problem, please don&#8217;t take it upon yourself to fix it.<br \/>\n4.<br \/>\nI saw <em>Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince<\/em> last Saturday with my pal Iris.  Slughorn (and his hourglass!) were great.  Ron?  TOO.  FUNNY.  Severe lack of Snape, though!  I liked the way they set up the <A title=\"highlight to read\" STYLE=\"background:black; color:black\">Sectumsempra scene<\/a> but they should have shown the aftermath.  I  wish they&#8217;d done more with The Book and how Harry grew so <A title=\"highlight to read\" STYLE=\"background:black; color:black\">fond of &#8220;the clever boy who had helped him so much.&#8221;<\/a>.

Love it.<br \/>\n6.<br \/>\nCrockpot happiness continues to elude me.  I&#8217;d love to have crockpot Tuesday, but Tuesdays used to be chicken, and all the chicken recipes I&#8217;ve tried have been disappointing.  The crockpot meal everyone loves is chili, and the tomatoes seem kind of repetitious after our usual Monday night spaghetti.    Seems like everything I like best in the crockpot is either very time-consuming to prep, involves tomatoes, or both.  Maybe I&#8217;ll try bean soup next Tuesday.<br \/>\n7.<br \/>\nFunny how every hour of Adoration seems to go more and more quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
