Harry Potter is in my hands!

Are there any Harry Potter fans out there??? If you live on Mars: the book came out this morning at 12am. I was planning on going then but decided against it. I got lazy and knew I had an open Saturday morning. And I wasn't sure I wanted to see all the wizards and witches again like I saw at the midnight movie viewing. I am so excited to have the final book!!! What do you think will happen? I've heard rumors about deaths. I will just die if Harry ends up dying. Surely good will conquer evil. But J.K. does seem to enjoy writing with a dark side.
Our preacher's wife reads each book in like a day. I like to savor them, reading only a few chapters at a time. I stretch them out to make them last a couple weeks.
And has anyone seen Movie 5??? What did you think of it? It was my favorite book, but I felt like 1/2 the book was left out. I was pretty disappointed.
Okay, too much time already spent on the topic of Harry. My friend Diana is dragging me away from the book tonight. (She is not a Harry fan!)

Where have you been?

One of my goals is to visit all the countries in the world. I've got many years to go and many, many countries to visit (I've only seen 4% of the world!!). Including the US, I've been to only 10 countries. How many have you been to? My favorite is France. What's your favorite country?

Europe doesn't look too shabby:

And I've REALLY got to see more of the States. I would be a completely Southern girl if it weren't for a Lipscomb trip to South Dakota! I think we went through 8 states!

And your favorite state??? Mine would have to be sweet Georgia. I also love Texas- lived there 6 years- nothin' like it. And Mississippi has the best people. And of course, Alabama.
