Phone Call from B&N

[joywitch_m_curmudgeon]

I preordered OoP from my local Barnes and Noble a couple of weeks 
ago, and today I received a phone call from someone there who just 
wanted to "let me know that the book I ordered, Harry Potter and the 
Order of the Phoenix, will be available starting at midnight on Fr..."

Because that's the point at which I (somewhat rudely, I'm afraid) 
interrupted her with "I know!  I'll be there!  I know when it's 
available!"  I mean, sheesh, it's *me,* Joywitch, that she's 
telling!  I did talk to the poor woman some more, very nicely, so 
that she would know that I'm just overexcited.  She asked if I was 
coming on Friday night, and how many children I was bringing.  I 
said, uh, um, I would be there with about 5 people.  Children?  This 
is for children?
