Wow. I say this probably every year in some way or another, but this time I really mean it more than ever ... WHAT AN YEAR 2022 WAS! It's true that every single year is full of ups and downs but 2022 showed me the two extremes. Where my best days were extremely magical and full of completely unbelievably surreal Harry Potter themed events, my worst of days put me through a major tragedy as I lost my favorite uncle, Fareed Mamoo. Actually if I come to think of it, 2022 would have actually been a very very very brilliantly awesome year had Mamoo not left us with an unexpected untimely death. So this year, I do really mean it when I say my year was a rollercoaster ride; I felt the thrills, I got excited and felt a crazy level of happiness, but I also went through those dips and falls that leave your stomach upset and your brains rattled. 2022 ... wow, what an year you have been!
Here's my year 2022 in pictures!
New Year's Eve Bubbster Club Party
A faux ball drop (using a disco ball shaped balloon!) to celebrate the New Year with The Bubbster Club! What could have been better?
Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Return To Hogwarts
This year was the major reunion special! Abbie and I woke up super early for it. I was in tears! This is the best fandom ever! And this was the perfect way to start the new year, celebrating TWENTY awesome years of the magic!
The Snowman Who Lived
I love snow, is there anybody here who doesn't know that already? I enjoyed a beautiful snow day playing outside with Abbie. We made our Potterific snow people. Mine was the Snowman Who Lived!

Said Goodbye to My Red Car
Couldn't drive my baby anymore thanks to the hurting foot/leg and it was just standing there losing its good days in the garage so it was time to let it go. I miss it, I loved it so much. But everything is for the better. Fawkes will rise from the ashes better and stronger than ever.
Johnny Depp Vs Amber Heard
WHAT a case it was. It was actually stressful to keep track of everything happening. I spent enough brain cells on this to include it in my year's highlights.

RIP Fareed Mamoo
I have no words. No words at all. I tried countless times to blog about it ... I just cannot. It is a loss way too big to put into words. It is just unfathomable. I don't think I can bring myself to talk about it or to even believe it sometimes. He will be missed forever.
Fourth Bubbster On the Way
God has the funniest ways of playing with life. Amidst the sadness of Mamoo's passing away came the very happy news of a fourth niece coming my way soon! It brought me out of the sadness and helped me get through. I still haven't posted about it anywhere so here's the news of a fourth Bubbster coming soon for the first time ever right here on my blog! BUBBLY! Coming soon Insha'Allah!

AC Guy Falls Through the Ceiling and the Ceiling In My Room Leaks
It was such a stressful time to have a leak so close to my collection and then have to move everything out so this guy could fix it up and then put it all back together!
