"Wherever you go, we go too."
Wow! I never meant for so much time to pass between blogs. I've been experiencing a lack of brain capacity ... I think of all these wonderful things to write about at times I could not possible sit down and write them. Later, when time presents itself, I'm mostly too tired to think - let alone type. It's really not so different now, either. I'm just feeling like this is better than nothing. (I could be wrong about that!!)
I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince for about the millionth time, and I am again struck by the incredible bond of love and friendship between Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Harry's ability and loyalty towards Dumbledore is also beauty itself. If you haven't read this, I strongly encourage you to. --I do wonder, though, if it would be as powerful if I hadn't read books 1-5 first. !?!? At any rate, J.K. Rowling is a complete genious. She knows how to pull you into a story and keep you there. She has a spectacular ability to make characters become real and dance the tune of a scene in your mind. I'm an avid reader and am not sure this has happened so clearly with any other book I have ever read. Of course, this could be well fueled by my immense obsession with good 'ole Harryand his wizarding world, right now.
That's about all I got, today. I'm sure I could keep typing many more paragraphs, but I'm also sure that they wouldn't be very ... ah ... fluid?
On the surface I appear to be the stereotypical 30 something suburban housewife/mom. It's my fervent hope that there is much more to me than that. I deplore being judged solely on the merits of a stereotype - Those that do the judging are usually not kind in their analysis.
happy place (s): in the arms of my husband, snuggled up with my children, a nice scenic lake with the sounds of nature around me (and maybe a nice cup of coffee in my hands)
