Sob Story

I've just finished reading PS, I love you. I needed a whole box of Kleenex to finish that book. I've never had to put down a book because I was crying too much to continue reading it. What's wrong with me? I don't normally do that...

Then to make me cry more, a friend of mine posts a video of soldiers reuniting with their families. Like that wouldn't make me cry...

I think I have a permanent lump in my throat.

I do want to see PS, I love you now. I've finished the book, how different or how good is the movie? I hear good things about it. I'm on a roll, maybe I can find it online tonight... I've got a roll of toilet paper handy since I've been crying for the last two hours...

I don't know what book to read next. I feel like I might need a breather!

Reliving Quiet Me Time....**Sigh**

I've had the most relaxing, quiet afternoon at home. It's been so peaceful!

After what's seemed like days of going and going and going post vacation, I was very excited to take a leisurely afternoon to myself! I've been reading P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern. It's a book I started at the beach and it got so hectic there with family fun that I wasn't able to read more. Once I got home, I had the move, I had work, I've had remotes, not to mention at some point I have to see A for some sanity, I haven't had much time to pick it back up! So this afternoon, following two blistering hot days in the sun watching mother's send off their children to college in U-Hauls and high-heels, I picked up my book again and haven't been able to put it down much!

This book is definitely climbing to one of my favorites of all times. I've never read a book that can make me laugh my arse off and then make me cry like a baby in one paragraph. I've never seen the movie; I've already put it on the top of my Netflix queue so when I finally mail that wretched movie I rented last time (The Goods, not good, very bad, so bad, I've considered it my civic duty to NOT mail it back!) I will get the movie in and laugh and cry like a baby all over again.

The rest of the roommates move in next Wednesday. I'm kind of nervous and I'm really not looking forward to it. Being in college again and wanting to be successful is exceptionally difficult when you have ten years on everyone. I'm praying that I get some A++, pencil-pushing, "partying is of the Devil" girls in here!!

The likelihood of that actually happening for me....not high

New moon rising

Excitement fills the air I breathe when I read this: "New Moon" released date November 20, 2009

They fired the director for scheduling conflicts and the screen writer is apparently writing at the speed of light to appease starving fans for the sequel to Twilight. Message to Summit: Please don't go too fast! Quality is better for us! And follow the book more closely! Don't speed up some of the storyline so much that even people who've read the book are wondering what the hell is going on! Remember, a dog that shits fast doesn't shit long. Take your time and make us a good sequel!!

Time keeps on ticking slowly

Only 5.5 hours to go till I go see Twilight! I'm so embarrassingly excited about this movie, it's not funny!

I've heard exciting things: It's raked in $35mil on opening day, it's as good as the book, it's fantastic, Twilight fans will be happy...all sorts of good things that make me even more excited.

Another thing I'm excited about: NO MEN TONIGHT. It will be me, and a few other women, for girls night with margeritas (Ole!) and Edward Cullen. Trey, when I come home tonight, I'll have higher standards of you for a couple of days. Be sure to have the house clean and be a slave to my every request. I love you!

Be still my heart



sigh...



Could he possibly look any more perfect?? Could it be possible he prefers women about five years older than him?

If something ever happened to my dear Antonio Banderas (God forbid!), Robert Pattinson will take his place. Then it'll be Billy Bob.

I've already got my tickets ordered, I've got my friends ready to go, the date is set, the time, and my free iTunes download that I got from Fandango when I ordered my tickets. I'm getting more and more excited the closer next weekend gets!!

So excited that I admit that, yes, I am one of the many followers of the series who is reading Twilight again.

If you are an avid fan, like me, might I suggest you go to Stephenie Meyer's website, where you can get all sorts of neat information and deleted scenes of the book series. It also has news updates on the movie as well as her account of how she literally dreamt up Twilight. I found the link below, another site that just got me more excited about next weekend, on her website. Go check it out!
