The Friday Five ~
1. Who is your favorite author?
I guess J.K. Rowling since she’s the author I have the most books by. I also love Helen Fielding who is responsible for the quirky Bridget Jones.

2. What is your favorite book/series?
Harry Potter, with Lord of the Rings coming in at second place.

3. Who is a book hero you most wish to be like?
If you asked me this when I was 5 years old, I would have said Ariel, The Little Mermaid, hands down. Now? I have no idea. I don’t think there’s anyone I’d want to be.

4. Who is a book character that you envy?
I don’t really envy any book character. Well… maybe Carrie Bradshaw, but not her experiences with men, hah!

5. Which book do you wished you lived in?
Easy – Harry Potter. How I’d love to go school at Hogwarts. I’d rather be learning magic any day than sitting through stats class. Sadly, I’m just a poor wee Muggle.

This afternoon I got a call from my mom telling me that Nana just went into surgery. A nurse called the house trying to get ahold of my dad (after she couldn’t get ahold of my uncle), but because my dad wasn’t home the nurse wouldn’t tell my mom anything else. Mom gave her Dad’s work number in hopes he would be able to find out what’s going on.

Turns out Nana has a perforated colon. I guess it’s a fancy way of saying she has a hole in her colon, and while we don’t know the exact cause, my mom and Mormor believe it’s due to a hernia she had awhile back. My parents are on their way to the hospital as I speak so I’m sure I’ll find out more by tomorrow.

I’m just seriously terrified of something happening to her and me not being there. It’s getting to be that time in my life where I’m going to have to experience losing a loved one, something I don’t even want to think about right now. Given my Nana’s condition and body weakened by cancer, I’m extremely worried. All I can hope is for the best.
