a delicious sense of anticipation
Yesterday I got a fortune cookie that said: Something you’ve been waiting for your entire life is about to happen.
I nearly knocked myself out rushing through my house, throwing clothes and books into my big, black trunk. I packed my magic wand and also a snack, and sat in my front yard for about an hour, waiting on an owl to deliver my Hogwarts letter.
It did not come.
However, I got an equally awesome surprise when Amy told me that this year she was going to take me to Medieval Times for my birthday. I have been begging to go for about a hundred thousand years, so I guess my fortune was correct. There’s going to be jousting and a four-course dinner and a crown and a sprit banner and generous slice of vanilla birthday cake!
We’re going to the 5:00 show on December 8th, and you can come if you want. You just have to tell me so I can reserve your spot.
Also, I think you can maybe get knighted or ladyshipped for twenty bucks. And if that package comes with a British accent, you’ll all be calling me Lady Heather Anne come December. (In fact, you might better start calling it to me now, just to get warmed up.)

Good day, Lady HeatherAnne,
awesome birthday!
And..i finished the book( after knowing she lied, i went and bought it friday, and had it finished asap!).

Oh, good! I am so glad you finished and liked it. It was most assuredly my favorite as well. :)

Lady Heather Anne, I'm sorry your Hogwarts letter didn't come, but Medievel Times is almost as good.

It's no Dino World, Lady Jennie!, but we can't all be as lucky as you.

Medieval Times is possibly the perfect birthday destination.

i KNEW it!

Your birthdays have all the luck... DANG! I wish I could go, because my British accent is pretty good, and I'm sure I'd make one heckuva Lady so long as Ladies can dress like gym rats.

You're kind of already royalty in my mind, Shari. And you're also kind of president.

5:00? Blue Plate Special?

Hey, Laaaaadeeeee!
I've always wanted to go to one of those places. Alas, there's nothing like it in Iowa.

But the University of Iowa has one of the coolest mascots in the whole NCAA! Georgia has nothing on Herky the Hawk!

oh man, i've always wanted to go to medieval times.
and yesterday i had a fortune in my fortune cookie that said "you would make a good lawyer." like whoa.

I also got a fortune that said, "Dude, your Thanksgiving is going to be so bad ass!" I have a feeling it was right.

Are you tempting me? Would your family let me steal you on your birthday?
---
Would they have a choice?

Lady Heather Anne,
You know you get to eat with your fingers at Medieval Times, don't you? Have fun!
I always like to read fortune cookies and add "in bed" at the end. It's amazing how often they still make sense. Makes me wonder what else you've been waiting for....
[hee hee]
---
You know, you DO get to eat with your fingers Medieval Times. How exciting is that? And also, my friends to that "in bed" thing to fortune cookies, too. I was so excited about Hogwarts that I forgot to do it to this one. But, now you mention it, well, doubly exciting, eh? :)

I've never actually been to medieval times. I might have to visit the New Jersey castle sometime soon.
---
You should, Lady Jill. You should indeed.

Isn't it great when fortunes from cookies aren't nonsensical and spelled incorrectly?
Or am I the only one that gets the broken ones?
---
Sometimes I get cookies with no fortune at all! That is scary.

My Dearest Lady Heather Anne,
I hope your Hogwarts letter does come soon as I fully anticipate the arrival of mine any day now.
Isn't Medieval Times where that one guy from "Garden State" worked?
---
If we're at Hogwarts together (even though I am a Hufflepuff and you are a Gryffinclaw) we'll be good friends! And I can copy your homework, huh?

Knights, Ladies, Chivalry! What could be better? Have fun!
---
The only thing that could be better is if I get to joust! If you're in town, you come, too!

Mark's a knight.

I think I just shipped 3,000 bras to personnel. I gotta go. MARK, I NEED YOU!
Posted by: Abigail M. Schilling | November 12, 2007 11:49 PM
Okay, honestly? I might come. I was JUST thinking this morning it was time for a face visit with you. I can't think of a better place to face! Of course, then we'll go back to your house for alternate copious weeping and hysterical laughter on my part.

! email on the way.

Seriously, we can invite ourselves to come to the Medieval Time party, Lady? If so, I'm WAY interested.
---
Oh, Hooper, please come! That would make my whole year! Bring your husband! Bring your dog! Just come!
