Three Down, One to Go
I finished the third book in the Twilight series, Eclipse.
This one was just as good as the other two. The difference being that at some points I had to put it down, even if only for a few minutes. I was so mad at 'Bella' at times that I just wanted to shake her! She put her self in terrible situations at times. In the end it hurt her and the two she loves to make a choice, the right choice in my opinion, the one I would have chosen.
The Husband stopped by the store this evening to pick up the last of the series, Breaking Dawn. I know how this one starts, but thats all I know. I cant wait to see how it ends.

dilemma
I have a new minor dilemma.
Do I play with my new laptop tonight? Or do I finish reading Eclipse?
Read or play, read or play?
I think I'll read.

And on to the next one
And on to the next one. By that I mean the third.
I read Twilight in 5 days, only two days longer than it took me to read the final Harry Potter. I finished it on Saturday afternoon and was reading the second book about two hours later.
I have never cried more while reading a book than I did New Moon. It is such an emotional story, and it was told extremely well. I could almost physically feel her pain; my heart skipping a beat with hers. I read it in about 22 hours. Only stopping to eat, sleep, pee and snow-blow the drive way.
These books are great. But I’m not going to tell you that I am in love with a 17 year old vampire, I’ll leave that for the more dramatic. I just love the love story, the unconditional love. I don’t know how to adequately explain the way these books make me feel without sounding obsessed or crazy. They’ve touched me.
The Husband and I went to see the Twilight movie this evening. I guess it wasn’t too bad. I wish the acting was a bit better though. I knew what was supposed to be going on in the characters’ minds. The emotional struggle he was going through was depicted well in the book but on the screen, he just looked like he was going to throw up. The love story was not well developed; they just sort of skipped to the professing of their eternal love without all of the falling in love. I guess you could say that I am a bit bummed by it. I wanted it to be better.

admitting
I am almost embarrassed to admit this...
I've been reading Twilight, and I like it.
I feel like I'm betraying Harry Potter.

Thanksgiving Excitement
I am excited for Thanksgiving. I am hosting at my house for the second year in a row. This time my mom and brother are coming where as last year The Husband’s mom and grandparents came.
It’s the preparation that I’m excited about. I love creating the menu, setting the table, deciding what dish the potatoes will be served in and the general tradition of it all. I am excited to take some of the traditions that my grandma had while I was growing up and carrying them on at my house.
I can’t wait. I know I will be in my element. I love cooking for others. I am actually a little bummed that my mom is making as much as she is. I selfishly want this to be my thing, my day, and my achievement. This is the kind of attention I like. Making other people happy makes me happy. My brother would say making other people fat makes me happy with as much food that will be on my table.
I told The Husband that we will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our house every year from now on. We’ll just rotate between my family and his and maybe some day we’ll have a house and a kitchen big enough to have both of our families. Sure it’s a little cramped and the dinning room table has to be taken apart and moved into the living room just so that nine people can eat but I don’t care. I love having everyone at one table, its important to me. No kids table needed, they are part of the family too you know.
Maybe after it’s all said and done, I’ll still have enough energy to go bowling with my dad’s family later that night. And if I’m really lucky, early morning shopping on Black Friday.
