I finished the fourth and ( as far as I know) final Twilight book today. It was great- great writing, great ending, great book. The whole series was one of my favorite books series of all time, and I’m disappointed that I find myself failing to really “sell” anyone on the series. I mean, seriously, […]

The kids are excited about trick-or-treating tonight, and so I am. We’re heading to a festival downtown first, then over to a friend’s house to trick-or-treat. It should be fun. Here’s a preview of what Katherine will look like. I took this before her fall festival at school. She is a fairy princess. Half the […]

See it there? Scroll down a little and look on the left? It’s AN AD FOR ADULT DIAPERS!
I have so thoroughly screwed with Google Ads that they no longer know what the hell kind of website I’m running here. We went from weight loss medication ads, to pizza hut ads, to Tyson Chicken ads, to […]

Today I turn 32.
The husband was kind enough to pick up the final Twilight book for me, which I’m sure I’ll read before morning. The kids have sung Happy Birthday to me at random times throughout the day, and I’m looking forward to a yummy birthday dinner tonight at the Cheesecake Factory followed by a […]

I swear that my current choice of reading material had nothing to do with this video. Today was fall festival […]

It’s like throwing money into the wind, sometimes.
The husband let me get Books 2 and 3 of the Twilight series as an early birthday present on Saturday. I finished book 2 before Saturday evening and I’m nearly done with book 3. And it’s only Monday.  Book 4 is in hardcover, calling my name from WalMart.

I just found out that all four Twilight series books are already in print, which means I don’t have to wait to read them all!  I may have to wait to purchase the final one because it is in hardcover and pricey, but at least I don’t have to wait for them to be printed […]
