Phew, it is hot.

It is disgustingly hot out. We’ve had nice, breezy, bearable weather the past week or so. But today, today is 91 right now. Yuck. And here I thought I was going to save on my electric bill. No such luck.

We got great news yesterday — the husband has not one shred of evidence of any tumors or cancer. So now we just set up the game plan for the lumps that could be anything from lymphnodes to cysts.

The wedding is in a week and 5 days. I’ve got just about everything I need. Borrowing a black bag from one of my sisters and then I’m all set. I still have to shorten the straps a bit — don’t want the girls falling out while at the reception. Would so not be good. Although, I am just planning on sitting at the bar and watching all the fights that are bound to happen. Would it be wrong of me to say that I would be disappointed if everything went smoothly?

Right now I’m in the middle of reading Eclipse for the 4th? 5th? time. I know, I have a sickness. But it’s like it’s one big novel and you can’t read the first one without reading the second one and so forth. But then when you get to the end of the saga, you want more. So you read them again. I actually was able to grab the Borders’ exclusive Twilight movie calendar. Woo Hoo! :) Can’t wait to hang it on my wall! And to continue on with the obsession, I bought the Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion as well as The Twilight Saga: The Official Guide (Twilight Saga). Like I said, I know I have a sickness. :)

So for the rest of the day, I’ll finish Eclipse, clean out my emails (getting ready for Office 2007 – arriving Tuesday, woo hoo!) and computer — then relax while watching True Blood.

I couldn’t resist

Rain Rain Go Away

by Erin on September 6, 2008 in pure prattle, trials & tribulations with 1 Comment

It’s raining out because of Tropical Storm Hanna. The kiddo has been crying about the rain all day. I am at my wits end. I’ve been sitting here watching Supernatural Season 3 on DVD. Man, Jensen Ackles is FIIIINE. :)
With my continued obsession of Twilight (which is really unhealthy at this point!) I decided to put up the trailer so my friends and family can see WHY I am not a freak. ;) Although, I will admit that my mother told me I am sick. LOL

Only two months and 14 nights until the movie comes out. I cannot WAIT. Robert Pattinson, while not my original idea of Edward, is absolutely scrumptious in the previews and stills, and has completely grown on me. So much so that I wish I had a vampire to watch over me. Especially one as yummy as him, although all the Cullen boys are delicious.

Tomorrow my mother is coming out to pick out some fabric so she can make my wrap for the wedding. I bought my dress and it’s really growing on me. Now I just have to find shoes and clips for my hair. My Bella bracelet will go nicely and my diamond studs will be enough. I can’t wait for this wedding to be O-V-E-R. My brother-in-law is being a royal pain in the ass.

I also want to do some scrapbooking this weekend. But whenever I start to, I get sidetracked. I really want to make a cover for my daily planner. It’ll happen. Before the end of the year. ;)

Twilight

I am obsessed with Twilight. I know, I take a couple of months off to get my bearings and low and behold, I come back with an obsession. And not just any obsession. An obsession about vampires, humans and werewolves. Who would of thunk it? Well, ok. I’ve been known to obsess. But this is a tad ridiculous. I want to be in the story. I want to live how Bella is living. The love of all love.

I read all four books — Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn — in almost four days. That’s just about 2,400 pages. Twenty-four hundred pages of lust, love, selflessness, danger and lust. Did I say that already? ;)

There are so many quotes that I am in love with. There are so many people I am in love with. Just the whole idea of this otherness going on. Definitely rips you out of reality.

Edward Cullen & Bella Swan

So – to continue on with my obsession, I made a small purchase today.

The Bella bracelet that Jacob gave to Bella with a carved wolf (this one is silver wolf) along with a crystal diamond pendant (although the real bracelet has a diamond, lol).

And these apple with blood earrings:

The best thing is that the seller will be in Forks, WA on the 13th and will ship from there if requested. OMG. That is awesome. Forks, WA is where the saga takes place!

I can dream well tonight.

You can sleep, sweetheart, I’ll carry you.

NKOTB Let’s ROCK!

Ok – so, New Kids on the Block. Reunion tour? Maybe? How awesome would it be? And OMG what if Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch opened for them?! I’d be there like rats to a subway!

And speaking of subways — Cloverfield was AWESOME. I was a little worried at first. Next to the register at the ticket counter was a sign that something along the lines of: “Due to the way the movie was filmed, motion sickness can occur.” Sigh. I often get motion sickness. I know, figures. ;) But I was fine. There was one point where I started to feel a teeny bit queasy, but I made it through. Great movie. The creature was NOT what I expected. I did want more and there were times where I was getting pissy that I couldn’t see the way I wanted to see. And it completely sucked when a bunch of kids came flying through the aisle and ran right into my legs. Ow! But all and all, I was happy. The Husband was not. He wanted to know more. Couldn’t believe it ended the way it did. Uhm, hello. It was a “camcorder” film found at the site formerly known as Central Park. What did you think was going to happen????
