Twilight

Alright, so I succumbed to the "Twilight" hype! Actually, to tell the truth I wouldn't have cared one iota (yes I just used the word "iota" in my blog - 10 bonus points for me!) about seeing the movie.....except for the fact that my darling little sister batted her eyelashes at me and asked so sweetly if I would escort herself and her friend to the theater. So....I batted my eyelashes at my dad, and said - "If you want me to take her off your hands for a few hours - I need movie ticket $, cuz I'm flat broke!" I didn't even have my sentence fully out, and he had taken a $20 out of his wallet (and yes, I am 31 years old!)! So, off we go to Walgreen's for snacks - and 3 large purses later, we arrive at the packed out theater lobby to stand in line (not for tickets by the way, and not for popcorn either! It was just to enter the actual theater for goodness sake!)

I will have to admit - the movie was actually really good (I have not read ANY of the books)! I'm gonna leave it at that for those of you who haven't read the books and would like to see the movie. I will say though, that there is a kissing scene that made this 31 year old blush and get butterflies! Ahhhh, young love!

Now, go see the movie! As long as while you are there, you don't mind feeling like the earth opened up and deposited you back in high school! Scary thought huh?


Oh yeah - and my indifference about going to the movie, plus the fact that I thought I wouldn't like it at all (wondering beforehand if I could sneak in a nap during) - has now led to a "tradition". My sister's friend Megan decided on our way home that it is now a ritual and we 3 will go see all 4 movies together - YES you heard me - 4 movies! 1 per year for the next 4 years! woohooo!!!!
