12 days 11 hours 24 minutes

You would think that coming back after a couple of months I would talk about something more... what's the word?? Adult??

But the countdown has been happening for a while now and today I realised that not only would the wait be over but the series would be finished. It was a sad revelation, I even shed a tear (and I don't cry) at the thought of there not being any more books to look forward to, no new discoveries to be made about the Wizarding World.

I still remember the day I got the Philosophers Stone. My Mum convinced me that I should read it to see what all the hype was about (personally I think she just wanted to know if it would be a good read and was using me as an excuse to buy it). So we bought the book (I think Mum did) and we did the grocery shopping... and when my Mum does the groceries it takes forever, lets say I was a fair way in by the time we drove home... and within 24 hours I had finished and was wondering whether or not getting the second book that day would be a bit obsessive?

See I didn't start reading the Harry Potter books until Goblet of Fire came out so within 3 weeks I had the first 3 HP books read (I felt I should limit it to a book a week - they were all finished rather quickly though). I was then left with the conundrum: Do I wait for GOF to come out in soft cover so that all my books matched or just buy it now?

Lets me say it this way; only 3 of my HP books are in soft cover.

Naturally I then had to wait with the rest of the fans for OOTP and HBP to come out and now I am facing the end of a series that I'm not sure I want to end and yet can hardly wait to finish to see what wonderful things JK Rowling has install for us.

I do believe that the weeks proceeding 21 July will be interesting for all Harry Potter fans and more than a few tears will be shed before this epic story that is so well told is finished for those who enjoy the world and writings created by JK Rowling.

One Week to Go

Well, I'm nearly at my holiday (going to the Gold Coast for a week!!!) but before that we have the youth conference.

Presence is now finished and it went well from my perspective... the usual crazy of setting up, working with dancers, musicians, singers... and their wish for time on stage. My team were amazing, everyone was willing to help out and they all seemed to have alot of fun, so thanks to everyone who made my week so much easier.

And think in 1 week I'll be getting ready to flyout with Michelle to have some well earned time off... it's going to be amazing, we're planning on doing the lands as well as relax and hopefully do not alot (no computers or work phones are permitted for this time away).

Anyway this house has finally gotten wireless internet access so I've got a bit of surfing to catch up on...

Easter's a coming... so's HPDH

Well with Easter starting in 5 days and conference in 8, life is getting slightly busy. Strange how these things happen. Yet I amd still finding time to read... and what am I reading, Harry Potter of course, I'm up to OOTP (Order of the Phoenix) the movie which will be out in 3months 2weeks and well check out the countdown timer it'll tell you how much longer I have to wait for both the book (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows... aka HPDH) and the movie.

Anyway Easter is going to be amazing this year, the set for Good Friday alone is looking beautiful, candles, red cross, it'll be great, plus Sante is playing and I love listening to them. Thankfully that should be my busiest day of Easter and then I'll just have conference to work on.

And that is what I've been working towards in the last week, working, reading and going to the movies (I saw Becoming Jane with Cath and Michelle - Not too bad... I won't say any more incase you want to see it).

Here endth my ramblings...
