Maybe I'll have to wait for the next one to come around.
I'm wondering why it is that my feet go numb with cold EVERY night before I go to bed. Yes, it's July. But why is it so stinkin' freezing in this basement bedroom of mine?
It's late, and my guard is down, so I'm going to go ahead and admit that I've harbored a little bit of a girl-crush on this woman:
There's just something about her cackling, her unsteady walk, her maniacal facial expressions and her ... twirling ... that just makes me giggle. But, tonight, I watched her die. And I wasn't nearly as sad about her as I thought I'd be. Nope. Mostly because I thought it was awesome. Don't mess with Mama-Bear Molly. Bellatrix, you shoulda knowed that.
I've read ALL the HP books ... at least thrice. I know full-well what was gonna happen in this finale. Did that keep me from weeping like a silly little girl? Oh, NO. In fact, I think the anticipation made it worse. "When will I see Tonks and Lupin? Don't tell me they're going to skip the scene where Neville finishes Nagini!" Nope. It happened. All of it. And more! Anyone worried about a spoiler. I'm trying very hard not to ruin the WHOLE thing. Just parts. But I loved every minute of it! The worst/best part was when I realized that 3/4 of the characters listed on my t-shirt (Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot & Prongs) made a final appearance to rally around Harry before they disappeared from his life forever.
So what if I'm sentimental. These guys have been some of my BFF's for like ... 10 years now!
Our YSA branch took a trip to Lava Hot Springs today. We floated the river in inner tubes. For the past few weeks, as they announced the trip, they'd caution to wear protective clothing. Last year, I took a gouge out of the back of my head. The year before, it was my knee. I considered a helmet or knee pads ... but what nobody warned me about was the need for a butt pad. Yep. It's cracked. My tailbone, that is.
I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to sit normally again. That pain may have added to the tears shed while watching Harry Potter 7.
I'd do it all again. Today was SO worth it.
