TWILIGHT

Yeah!!!! I got to go to the midnight showing of Twilight on Thursday night. It was so much fun. There was a group of about 16 of us. Mostly college girls from church, but it was fun. My friend Lisa is friends of the movie theater manager/owner and so we didn't have to wait in the line that was like a block long some people started lining up at 8pm. So why others waited and froze outside, we got to hang out at "You're Fired" painting and eating and talking. Then at just after 11pm we headed to the theater next door. Let's just say the reception from those in line was anything but nice. But hey every now and then some of us get lucky. And I have no doubt that if given the chance any of those girls who were complaining would have done what we did. So we were the first in to the theather that quickly filled up with mostly college girls, and there where a few guys there too. All anxious for the movie to start. I was a bit nervous about how good it would be. I think the book is excellent and I wanted the movie to be too. I was not disappointed. I admit I laughed at some of the scenes, but all in all I really enjoyed it and can't wait to see it again. I think the actor who played Edward did a great job, and he is really "hot" too. So that fit right in with the Edward that I "loved" from the book. I can't wait for them to do the next one. I hope they are doing a next one and that it comes out soon. So if you haven't seen it yet, go see it. If you haven't read the books....what are you waiting for???? Four big stars from this Twilighter!!

Nothing Exciting Going On

I thought I'd better get an update. Not that too much has been going on. Eliza did have her birthday this past weekend. She is the big 7 now. It's amazing how time really does fly. She got to have to parties. One was on Saturday at "You're Fired" our local pottery painting place, she had a joint party with her friend Emily who also turned 7. So that was fun. The on Sunday we had grandma and grandpa over and the Leishmans who are more like family then just friends. I forgot my camera on Saturday so as soon as I get the pictures from Emily's mom then I will post them. Eliza even got to have more fun when Annie's present arrived in the mail yesterday. Thank you Annie, the outfit and Boots were a hit. Picture to come soon.
I am excited this week to go see Twilight!! We are having a pre party at "You're Fired" and then going to the midnight showing. I can't wait!!! I hope the movie is as good as the book. I should read the book again before Thursday just to refresh my memory.
It is down to the finals for Dancing with the Stars after tonight. I am rooting for Brooke Burke and I think either Lance Bass or Cody Linley. But I think Brooke will win. She's really good and dang I wish I looked like that after 4 kids. Maybe I should take up dancing, don't know when I'd have time to go, but I think I would like it. Especially if Derek Hough was my coach!!
Well have a good week and I'll post pictures soon.

Finally it's Over

So Yeah I got to vote yesterday! I hope you did too. I can't say that I am thrilled with the outcome for presdent, but what can you do. Besides my vote was really still with Mitt Romney! :) I think it's an going to be a very interesting time for our country. I'm not much into politics and I am so glad not to have tosee any more campagain ads, they make me so mad. But I do want what's best for the country and I hope and pray Pres-elect Obama can do that. Obviously a lot of things he believes in or supports go against my beliefs and I wish that was different but that is just one of the things that makes our coutry great. Excepting differences and finding common ground. I look forward to seeing how things work. I atleast feel good that listening to him doesn't give me the heebee jeebees unlike the Clintons did. So that's a good thing. It has been fun watching the girls take in bits of the news and conversations. Eliza wanted Mccain to win and was sad when I told her the news this morning, but Elana was an Obama supporter, due to I think her grandma's views. So as she watched a bit of news last night, she repeated,"it's going to be a party in Chicago". She cracks me up.
Well here's to the best for our country. Pray Pray Pary is all we can do.
