I finally finished Breaking Dawn, the forth book of the Twilight series. I must warn you, if you are reading the Twilight series do not read this post. I will give you information that will mess with your reading and piss you off.
I have warned you. So now I can write freely on Twilight...
**SPOILER**
Oh by they way, I might talk about a few SPOILERS, here and there, just wanted to make sure you got that point... don't say I didn't warn you...
Let's start with Team Edward. My team, I love him and his demeanor towards Bella, well who doesn't. Immortal or not, I have always been a fan of vampires, so this book just reminded me that I love them cold, white, and everlasting.
Werewolves or shape-shifters, whatever, they are ok. Not my favorite of the monsters. But since Jacob has imprinted on Nessie, I guess they are stuck with him. But a great way to keep him around Bella, and just one more way to keep Nessie safe from the Volturi.
I loved Eclipse, I loved having Edward back, and when I was told by more then one person that the 4th book, Breaking Dawn, was even better, I wasn't so sure.
They were right. I cried thought the beginning, at there wedding, at all of them together. I was so afraid for Bella with Reneseme, I got her point, how she loved the creature before it was even born.
I did fear that Bella would become some crazy newborn, same for Nessie. But they both proved to be amazing.
I love Bella and Edwards house, I can only hope to see it in a movie someday.
I was scared that the Volturi's visit would be a bad one, but thanks to Super Alice, she saved the day with the Amazon tribe, and well Bella's kick ass shield.
All in all it was an amazing story. Thanks to Stephanie Meyer for letting me escape reality, and for helping me neglect my house work even more then I already do.
I can't wait till the end of December for the Twilight Saga, and to read Midnight Sun (Edwards version of the first book) until then it's back to reality... for now...
My next read is to reread "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. Awesome book, better then "Da Vanci Code" and the movie will be out in May of 2009! Which reminds me, I should put my Shelfari back on this site...
Hope you enjoyed Twilight as much as I did. I know some were not as excited about the movie, not sure what it was about the movie that you didn't like. But I loved it. Every bit of it. And yes the book was heavy in detail, but really that is a big ass book to fit into a 2 hour movie. So I loved it, can't wait for New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, hoping for more books after, continuing the story. But I must say that Stephanie Meyer did an awesome job at the end.
How about you? Twilight fan?

Eclipse

I am sorry I have been away... Edward and Bella have my complete attention, I actually had to break away this morning just to say hi to you... well if you are unaware of who Edward and Bella are, or if the word "Twilight" does not ring a bell.
You should go to the book store, and buy all 4 books in the series (silly me, I just bought one... I went back and bought the rest) read them. The movie on the first book will be out soon (check out my countdown)
When I heard that mom's with kids and insane schedules were finishing all four books in 2 weeks, I was a bit thrown... two weeks? I mean these books are anywhere from 400+ pages and up.
Amazing as it sounded. I started my first book and I must admit it took me a few weeks, it was good, but once I got to chapter 9! Well lets just say a week later I am well into the 3rd book.
Sigh... I heart Edward... Eclipse

A kindled spirit
I thought my dear friend Chandler over at Maternal Mirth was being a bit over the edge, I mean how could you love something so much.
I have seen her new lover, advertised. I have. It's not just for her you know. We can all have a love like this.
For someone like me, this is a love I just can not deny.
Go see for yourself... it's amazing...

Hot dates with cleaning, picture taking, vomit, coffee, the shits, a concert, family, books and shopping.
You missed me! Didn't you? I know Chandler did! Funny thing is since I had started blogging way back in February of 2007, I would post every few days, and as time went by, I would blog more and more each day. Funny thing is, it was late Saturday night when I posted last, and it being Tuesday at 8:15 at night, feels like forever! Like weeks!
So this is what I have been up to...
Saturday was normal ish, The Queen and Carrots came over to pick up the kids. For Spaghetti and I had a hot date night planned.
We met his family at a cute little Irish Pub for dinner and the best Country Rock ever. (now if you know me, and if you don't just turn your speaker up. I listen to Britney Spears, P!nk, and nowhere on there is Country. But alas my readers if there is Country music to be heard, here it is...) We were there to see the Drew Davis Band. (I have a whole post to do on them.)
After an end of concert show, they wrapped it up around 2 am, we headed home, crashing around 3:30 am. Next day, Spaghetti and I had a great breakfast date, then he was off to work, and I was off to the store, then to pick the tots back up again.
Sunday night consisted of hanging out with the kids, then watching the new Brendon Frasier movie about the Center of the Earth, it was good. I had a hard time at first with the 3D glasses, because of my motion sickness. But after about 35 minutes I was better adjusted. Good movie, worth renting (oh, and since Spaghetti has the Video store job, they have a perk of getting the new releases for free 4 days before they come out, so they watch them and know about them. Yipiee for us! He also rented Jenna Jameson's and Tito Ortiz's Zombie Stripper movie, shucks I fell asleep for that one.)
Monday was insane. Spike had his 6 month Dr. appt. at 9:00 am, that is insanely early for us, not to mention the scheduled day ahead to plan for. He got two shots in each leg, he was NOT happy. We also thought we would go ahead and get Bagel the flu shot too. (but it was the nasal one) again not happy. (and we got the one with out something that began with a T... the "non" autism one... did that make sense?) So I had two really pissed off kids, and my amazing mom and dad, were in the lobby of the Dr. office waiting to take them to there home.
Spaghetti and I had yet another hot date. First we had a date with the Dentist, our teeth cleaning. Now we normally go every 6 months. Well since I was busy making babies, I skipped. lets say... 4 years!! I didn't know it was so long! Well, shit, by the 5, yes 5 cavities I have. I will more then make up for it.
Then, the day just gets more and more fun. We had a hot date for cleaning the house. (booooo!) Now he tried to get me to procrastinate, and just go lay in bed and watch movies, all of it sounded amazing. But the mountains of clutter, paperwork, clothes and just crap, have been getting to me. So I agreed on a small procrastination. We got home at 1:45 pm, and we would start at 3:00 pm. He went to hang out with the dogs, and chill.
I called my friend Kiki (scrapbook friend) and picked her up from the laundry mat, and we headed to the local scrapbook store, to RSVP our seats for the November Friday night crop! In our conversation, I find out that Kiki is a HUGE OCD organized freak, clean and all. So she tells me if I need her help in organizing she can, but to beware, she has made people cry before. Yikes!
I will post on my other blog all about the cleaning date. But it was long, shitty, and tiring. Queen and Carrots brought home the monkeys, we all elbow danced, Queen and Carrots left. Bagel and Spike were off to bed. I thought I would clean more. But I was just wore out. I won a bet with Spaghetti, enjoying half of my hour long back rub. (What is the capitol of Florida. I won!) I passed out, and went up to bed at 10.
Oh what a night, I was up tossing and turning for what seemed like hours, my back was out, sore, and Spike was up too. I went and got Spaghetti up to take care of Spike (not something I normally do. I usually get the kids no matter what.) I went back to bed, Spaghetti feeding Spike, and finally coming to bed around 4 am.
This morning was another rat race. Up at 8:00 am, we had to get ready for Spikes 6 month pictures. Sigh, off to my IL's house, to get them, transfer the car seat over to there van (they only have one) so we could all ride together. Bah! I hate, loathe and despises car makers and car seat makers. Douche bags.
After what seemed like way to much fun, Spaghetti and I finally got both car seats in the van. Everyone piled in. I drove. (Yes I will post the pictures of the cutest little man ever!!) Pictures done, Bagel throws a fit, I buy her shoes (Crocs with the fur in them!) Spike some socks, and a winter hat.
We then go eat at a very non kid friendly restaurant. (bite my ass) and after a rough start with two grumpy kids, we have a nice lunch. Back to the IL's I divvy up the pictures, we hang out for a bit. Deciding what we are going to do with Thing 3 (there cat) while they are in sunny Arizona on vacation for 10 days. I personally though why waste gas, just take her now, but everyone votes me out saying it's too crazy. Bah, I got your crazy...
Anywho, we again pack up the kidlets, and head home. Oh and not before getting me a Venti Peppermint Mocha extra hot. I drink all the way home. Everyone else sleeps. Nice.
NOT! We get home, I am to dizzy to walk. I have the shits and feel as if I could barf at any moment! Boo on a bad Mocha. Bitches! I felt like shit. Plus after feeding the cats and dogs, Ding eats to fast, and then vomits all her food up, on, yes on the back sliding door. (now understand this is a big dog, so were talking man sized barf.) What was I to do? Spaghetti was tired, and has to work night shift tonight, so he needs to sleep. Between feeling faint, shitty, and barfy, I was able to carefully fed both Spike, and Bagel, and put them to bed. Thank god for and insanely busy two days. The kids welcomed sleep. (and with a dustpan, you can just slide the dog vomit onto it...)
Around 7 I took a hot bath, enjoying some more of Bella and Edward. A little over half way. LOVE IT. And I just found out that the movie coming out on the 21st of November, is on the first book. I will SO be done with it by then! Wee!
So I just got out of the tub, I am still dizzy, the shits are gone, and I never did barf.
I have some catching up blogs to post. On cleaning, but that will go to my "Where do I Begin?" blog, and I need to do the Manic Monday questions, and a post on the Drew Davis Band. Sorry I ditched out on you all.
I am fine. Thank you.

Fork and Charlie

From what I hear from other bloggers, young, old, and my hairdresser, this series of books is AWESOME! I will not tell you details as for now I know only of Fork, and Charlie. Others have told me it's about vampires. I wanted to get into it.
So I bought myself a book. I then hear that they are coming out with a movie for it in November. I guess I better get reading! 10 pages done... a LOT more to go!
Do you read this series?
Citrus. Coffee. and Christmas
Since the last post was so heavy and a bit aggressive. I have to say I am having a wonderful morning. I slept. I got up and took a bath (I never get to do this!!) I used Happy as my bath soap, and it was all citrusy and good wake up smells!
I set up the new coffee pot last night. Gramma Mc just celebrated her 20 years at her job, and was able to pick from a catalog of stuff. So she let Spaghetti choose, and he chose a nice fancy pants, coffee, espresso, and cappachino maker! Yeeha! I am very excited, since we have been coffee nuts every since Spike was born, I do believe I have had a cup a day. Keeps me up, going and gets a good poop out of me too (whatever, don't lie. Your happy coffee makes you poop too)
I also had an extraordinary date with myself yesterday. It took SO much for me not to pick up my cell and yap. I considered, Aerial, Queen, M&M... but I needed to force myself to take some me time.
I got lost in Target, found an AWESOME clearance Christmas present for Bagel. The Tigger and Pooh, Super Sleuth tree! Oh, I had to open it, check it out (small parts, and make sure it all worked) so now here is a tip. I started this last year. I open her toys, put them together, put them back in the box, wrap it. So then on Christmas, all she has to do is open the present, I pull out the pre-put together toy and wala! We are all happy!
Then I got lost in Barnes and Noble! Yipiee! After my Worm Meme the other day, I had to do this. I read magazines, started a book (later post) and drank... Starbucks! Wee!
So not only did I get Christmas, done, I got some Birthday done for my mama (oh you think you know...) It was a nice day to myself. I really had a hard time with out having someone along with me... well in a few hours I am off to get the children's, then I will have my babies back! I missed them so!!
Have a citrusy day!

A priceless hot date

Eh, I am up. I know, Spaghetti had to work, and had no ironed clothes. Boo, so I went to sleep at 8 am, and up at noon. Ugh.
So needless to say, I am a bit sleepy, but I am up for the day now. I am excited to say that since Spaghetti is at work, till 7 pm, and the kidlets are away till tomorrow.
I am free. Free from being a responsible human to everyone else. I have a me day. An unplanned afternoon of a haircut, and with inspiration from my Worm Meme, I am going to the bookstore, to veg and just enjoy myself.
Come home, maybe take Ding and Dong for a walk, I would like to say I would have the energy to go down and scrap some more. But we will see.
I talked to my mom, and I was sad that it was a nice day, because I wanted to just veg out in my art room. But when its a beautiful day, and probably one of the last of the year. I think I should at least see the sun for minute...
So those are the plans. A hot date with me, myself and I. I know, it's priceless.

Meme for the Worms
Calling all book worms!!
I was surfing on over to one of my favoritist bloggers M&M, and came across a comment left by Evil Genius, I like the name, so I lurked on over to her blog, Lifes a Beach, and the first post caught my eye. (I have to say M&M and I have similar taste in blogs, she just finds them for me!)So I tag you to do a blog on 6 book related things about yourself. Enjoy mine! Be sure to let me or the Evil Genius that you played along!
- I LOVE bookstores, I could get lost in there for hours! And that is not even going over to the magazine stand! Oh god... I wanna go right now... AND even better, our Big Chain Book Store has a Starbucks. You can bring books to read right off the shelf, drink yourself into a caffinated coma, and enjoy! Best time by myself! OR I have to say my sister is also a kickass companion, she doesn't say much. Plus she can clock twice the time I can in a bookstore!
- I LOVE the library, SO much! For kids books especially! Plus if you want a really good book, and Christmas and your birthday are no where near, go check it out at your library, read and return! Wala! Fo Free bitches!
- I SO want my kids to love books too! Bagel already loves her books, and I am hoping to get Spike on that path too.
- I always bring a Dean Koontz book with me on vacation. Why? Well because I have this vision that one day I will be somewhere and he will be there too, vacationing. And I can get him to sign one of my books. (He write like Stephen King but WAY better!)
- I totally agree that a book takes you to a world outside of our own. A different place where you can just run away too, be whatever you want, and just not be here.
- I would love to write a book. Not a kids book, maybe an art book, or just a book like Sark about being me, and being creative.
Well bookworms, and non bookworms. Feel free to do your own! even if you don't read alot it is still fun to talk about book related things... right? I mean that does make me a nerd right, I mean that I just said that and all... well then a book nerd I am!
