E and I finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows this morning. We both really enjoyed it. But I always end up crying when I read and this book was no exception. I cried when it was sad, when it was happy, when something sentimental happened, and when it ended. It's all done, you know? No more HP books to look forward to. Sigh... We're going to buy the book on CD for S so he can listen on his way to and from work.
We got a cool package today. Katie did some custom embroidery for me and sent some goodies along in the package. I haven't taken a picture yet, but you can see something similar here. Aren't they cute?! I'll be sure to post a picture soon. Thank you so much, Katie! (And I can highly recommend Katie's embroidery skills. I can't show you a picture of the project because it's a secret right now. But it turned out beautifully!)
One last thing...we are finally fed up with AOL and plan to change our e-mail addresses. So I now have a new blog e-mail address: feltlikeknitting [at] gmail [dot] com. I think having a separate e-mail for blogging will help me a lot.
You mean it's not just me? I was on vacation in Hawai'i (on Molokai actually) when I got to um near the end of book 6, you know, when Dumbledore...sniff...sniff...I don't want to spoil the end of 6 you see...and I was BAWLING in the car on the way to the beautiful 3-mile-long beach...everyone kinda laughed at me...but I cried a whole lot for #7 too...

I cried, too. I don't want to post spoilers in the comments so I won't say exactly when.

Ditto on the crying thing. I always cry when I read, so it was no big surprise.

Haven't lost control yet...but I suspect it's coming. I had a bad moment at the beginning, but was carding wool at the time while I listened to it. Blurry vision seemed like a bad idea, so I put on my "stiff upper lip face."
There are just so many life events that happened as I read/listened to these books and I always end up reflecting on what I was doing at the time. It is going to be a real gut-wrencher when it's over!
Love the embroidery! What talent!!

I'm so sorry I missed your call yesterday! And I am so happy you like your little somethin's. I guess one of these days I'm going to have to read the HP books.
