Thanks so much for the snippets into this fiction world Stephenie Meyers has created for all of us. The trailers have left much anticipation thrust upon the Twilighters, from tweens and teens to moms and even those fans who won't admit to being fans. However, your timing sucks. Not only do I have a one-year-old who cries whenever I leave him, but my pocketbook is virtually empty. Now, I could deal with leaving Moose with someone capable of handling his separation anxious tears. But I cannot fathom going into the red to purchase tickets to see your sparkling, dazzling self. So, in lieu of this travesty, I am preparing myself to endure a weekend of energized bloggers (and Facebook friends) who have been awed by your viewing pleasure. And, who am I kidding, this is going to go on for weeks. All I ask is that you kindly remind viewers to not spoil it for me (haha, just kidding, I've read the books) by telling me what's different between the book and movie. I anxiously await you...

Sunshine & Lemonade is giving away SO many cool things (trust me, I wouldn't tell you about it if I didn't want an extra entry...ha) associated with Twilight. This ultimate fan package includes: 1. The Twilight movie companion - personalized and signed by our favorite Twilight fanatic ! 2. Godiva special Twilight edition chocolate bar 3. Entertainment Weekly issue with Edward on the cover 4. 2009 Twilight wall calendar 5. Barnes & Nobles Gift Card (for those of us who borrowed copies to read from the library) 6. Twilight bookmark 7. Last, but certainly not least, Twilight poster featuring Edward & Bella You have until Friday, November 21st at midnight to enter. I've entered so good luck. :) __________________________________________________ __________________ A Daily Dose of Toni has been hosting a Twilight Extravaganza counting down until November 21, when the movie hits theaters. Today is Day 9 and it's a good day. Twilighter619 has designed 3 necklace...

Real quick update on my Twilight status. I finished Twilight (book 1) on Friday. Luckily, the library had 2 New Moon copies, and I will finish it tonight. Yeah, my husband says he's glad I'm enjoying myself but it's kind of crazy. Oh well. I'm just hoping the library has my reserved copy of the third book by tomorrow. Hopefully, the person who has it now is a fast reader, too. PS Did anyone else think the beginning of this book was a little...less....interesting than Twilight ? Maybe because the romance wasn't part of it. It took me awhile to connect to Jacob. I like him now.

Yesterday I finally picked up the library's copy of...yep, Twilight ! I'm super excited. I'm already on chapter 4 (shush, I was tired last night & didn't read much) & Edward Cullen is already my crush. Stephanie Meyers is a wonderful word master. If I were her English teacher, she would get a 10 for word choice. She presumes her audience is intelligent, she doesn't act like we need only 4-letter words, and the words she chose make the characters leap to life. It's amazing; she's very talented. I also wanted to share our little family picture from our trip. I didn't take ANY pictures except this and a few on my phone. Oops. My boys after the end of their first flying experience. Go play along with Angie at Seven Clown Circus for Wordful Wednesday !
