When Christine introduced me to the Twilight series last fall, I do not think she knew it would change my life. No really, my life will never be the same. I am not afraid to admit that I am obsessed. I read all 3 books in 3 days-a big shout out goes to Gary for picking up the household slack- and I have re-read them countless times since. I love the characters and the way you "become Bella" as you read. I never had a love that was that intense when I was in high school and I can only imagine how this story changes the way that young girls look at love.
I was so excited when I finished the series, I decided that I should give each of my nieces one of the books for Christmas - you know so they could all trade and get the full experience- but Gary said I did not want to be 'that Aunt'. I gave them all cash instead and little did I know the books were all on their Christmas lists but because their mothers had not read them, they did not get them.
I secretly think Gary is sabotaging my efforts to become the cool ,fun aunt because he realized he is 'that uncle'. That's right I am going to call him out on this. Gary, the younger generations do not know who The Smashing Pumpkins are. They think U2 may be the band that Liv Tyler's dad sings in and they do not understand how Nirvana changed the world of music as we know it. They do not know life without rap and they never had to flip a cassette tape. Remember when your dad used to make you listen to the oldies station? That is what it is like for them when you make them listen to your 90's play list. Please stop trying to educate them.
Uh-hm - Just to set the record straight, one of our nieces borrowed one of MY CD's!
Sorry about that tangent. Sometimes I think of something else and get distracted from my point. Anyone who has spent the day shopping with me knows how easily distracted I am.
The whole reason behind this blog was to share a photo that was released of the actors that are shooting Twilight right now. I was not happy with the choice of Robert Pattinson as Edward. Cedric Diggory is no Edward but these photos have swayed me. I am so excited for the movie to come out and even more excited for the release of Breaking Dawn. Do you know what you will be doing August 2nd? I do!
So there you have it Andy. Let the teasing begin.

Where do I start? Maybe you just have exceptional nieces, My only neice is too young but I do have teenage cousins... If my younger cousins got a book for christmas they would just check if the pages were thin enough to use for rolling papers before giving you that dissapointed "I saved this present for last & it turned out to be socks look". I don't understand why you're so excited about the movie... You know you're just going to say "the book was SO MUCH better" as you leave the theater. You're totally one of those people.
I've got Gary's back. He gives me liquid presents whenever I come over. I think the younger generation should know about the music of the 90's. We all learned (& still respect) Jimmy Hendrix, Janice Joplin, CCR, etc from our parents. Any teenager would still bump "The Chronic" by Dre or listen to Sublime at a party... Some of it is timeless (Even if I don't like Smashing Pumpkins). As a matter of fact, I believe I was blasting the Stray Cats as I drove into work today.
I know you're trying to play a trick on me & I will never agree with you until I figure it out... and I will.
cosmic connection...........
You have an itch on the left side of your head.
Oh yeah, yesterday was Wednesday. Did you all wear pink at the lunch table?
Yes I wore my pink dirty dancing Tee. I went ahead and used the ponytail on Monday. It is difficult to get up on Mondays and I do not like the pressure of deciding every day if today is the day I use the pony or not so I get it out of the way first thing.
There is a trick and it is going to be the best ever. I sit up at night smiling to myself as I think about the reaction you are going to have. Too bad you will never figure it out. I have many accomplices but you will never break them. LIVE IN FEAR :0)
Whatever. Just remember, Paybacks a you.
Ok, just your comments back and forth make my die of laughter, but your blog was funny too. I hear a ladies night coming on when the movie comes out!
man i gotta read these books. it's all i hear about. and i am REALLY glad you liked the recipe! makes me feel all happy and STUFF.
