It is 1:30am and hubby is still not home

[GreenPartyVoter]

I am getting a bit worried. I know he couldn't get the book until midnight at the earliest.... and it sounded like his number in line was on the late end of things. And then he has a 40 minute drive home.

:(

1. No worries. Long lines at all the stores. He'll be home soon.

Does he not have a cell hone?

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. he does but he hasn't called me in quite a while. I am hesitant

to call him in case he is on the road and feeling a bit punchy.

[Droopy]

2. Maybe there was just a really long line

Sounds like you all live out in the sticks a bit with that long of a drive to a book store.

[GreenPartyVoter]

Yep.. we do. :) and he did say the store was packed

[Lindacooks]

4. It'll be okay!

I'm a consummate worrier myself, and my worrying never accomplished one single thing, but you already know that. Can you call the store and ask? Try to stay calm - he'll be home soon.

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. I am sure he will pull up any time now. well, mostly sure. But I can't

go to bed til he comes in. Just don't feel comfy doing that.

Good thing I have DU for a distraction.

6. Me thinks the Slytherins are out tonight.......

Just kidding. Drove by the stores by us at about 11:00 and it was like the Beatles were coming...

Kids dressed up, parents watching from mini vans...

And teenagers who didn't quite want to give up on their childhood were seen lurking on the edges, hoping that no one would see them standing in line......

8. Oh man

My 18 year old friends and I were all dressed up. We were the hit of the B&N party... :crazy:

[WCGreen]

10. The ones I saw lurking were the fifteen sixteen

years old....

By the time your 18, your just wack......

7. I was at Barnes & Noble getting HP tonight...

I was #162 and got mine around 12:20, if that gives you the general pace of things. I had a half hour drive home and dropped people off... so i just got in the door about 10 minutes ago. Hope he makes it home alright :)

9. If he hasn't shown up in the next ten minutes just call him.

I'm a worry wart too and I can't sleep until my husband is safe and sound with me. Call him. It will ease your mind.

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Still not home at 2am.. will try calling

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. No dice. His phone is off.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. He called back. He's on the road about 1/2 hr from here

[Scout1071]

14. Good to know. Rest easy. He'll be home with Harry before you know it.

Good night!

[Lindacooks]

15. Yaayyy!!

[ofrfxsk]

18. Wonderful! I'm so glad everything is all right.

[WCGreen]

20. I understand your concern.

I really don't understand the need to get that book tonight. The book will be available tomorrow, right?
