I'm looking forward to this. Are you?







Although, it is sure to be sad: a sad book, and sad that it's over. If you are so inclined, please signify in the comments what persuasion you are regarding Snape: good or evil?

{Other books I hope to read this summer, all of which I'm halfway through: Isaac Jordan, The Red Tent, Word Freak, Life of Pi, Book of Mormon, The Tipping Point, Escape Into Darkness and Brainiac. Also, New Moon, but I haven't started that one yet. Finish what you start, Em, finish what you start.}

I also can not wait but will be sad as well that there will not be another to anxiously await. Snape, given his actions in the last book would seem to be evil. However Ms. Rowlings always seems to have a trick up her sleeve, so I dare not choose. Jesse will side on the side of evil remarking Snape has been evil all along. Jesse feels no one ever listens to Harry who has claimed Snape to be evil from the beginning. He feels it is like a Ben Stiller movie and needs to be over all ready, just show the guys true colors.

I still need to finish Book 4. (I started it about 5 years ago.)

I know, I'm so counterculture.

Word, Abby. Dumbledore believed in him.

I have absolutely agreed from the beginning (and still do) that since Dumbledore trusted Snape implicitly, I have to think that Snape must be good, even though it would seem otherwise. But appearances can be deceiving. I also will be sad to have the series end.

I enjoyed Life of Pi. I also liked New Moon, even though some people told me they didn't. Can't wait for Eclipse.

I have such a hard time remembering everything from the books and movies, they seem to escape me so easily. That's not to say I'm not going to read the last book and see the new movie, though.

Snape is good???

Snape is not evil. There are many clues leading to this theory from book 3 on. I only know this because a lovely 50 year-old woman who stipples my quilts for me spent over an hour one day explaining it all to me. She was, by far, the most intense H.P. fan I have ever encountered. (she also had a LOT of free time on her hands.)

If Snape is good enough for Dumbledore he's good enough for me.

Anyone else?

I just read this scripture quoted in a blog comment thread, alluding to. . .me. 2 Nephi 9:28 28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. The context: I had suggested that Ezra Taft Benson's political views as expressed in 1968 before he was the prophet were not the official political views of the church, and shouldn't be construed as such. It is actually not the first time this month that I've been told through scriptural references that I am a wicked person {my extrapolated take-away from the conversations}. I give up.

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i
