No Spoilers ~~ I finished!!!

At 20 minutes to 10PM EDT, I finished "Breaking Dawn"!

And I had to come on line and tell my Coven, that I did! :-))))

Me, who rarely reads fiction. Who usually reads non-fiction. I finished 4 books in a series, the last one being 754 pages long!

This in itself, has to be a testament to Stephenie's writing. :-)

~~~~~~

Btw, that's the glass I drink water from, all day long. Cool, hu?
:-)

~~~~~~

NO SPOILERS! Up to page...

Up to Pg. 502.

Ohmyghowwwwwdddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Alice" and "Victoria" are ahead of me and by this minute, may be finished. Have not talked with them today as yet.

Off to read again. But I'm not staying up till 1:30am anymore. I put book down, at a reasonable hour. :-)

I know, I am wayyyyy slow compared to many. But, I'll get there. :-)
.

NEED to finish...

I need to finish 'Breaking Dawn.'

Can't take these 2AM going-to-sleep times. :-( Especially when have to be up for morning appointment, next day.

Need nap now, before getting back to reading...

-sigh-

Need "Spoiler Rules" here...

Need "Spoiler Rules" here.

Need them, everywhere.

I will state "SPOILER" loud and clear, in my Title Line, if I post any "Spoilers" along the way of reading the book.

I'm a slow-read, so I've only read 74 pages.

There are no "Spoilers" here, in keeping with my own "Spoiler Rules". :-) So no need for any "SPOILER", in this Title Line.

What is everyone else doing? Both about how fast you're reading it? And what you plan on doing, about "Spoilers" posted?

Hope we all have some sort of plan. Or I'll be afraid to read anything, anywhere about 'Breaking Dawn.' Until I finish it.

The morning after... :-))))

I was exhausted by the time I got home last night! But Grands had a good time.

"Victoria's" Mom {our Daughter} brought us down and dropped us off, at the store. Our local Border's didn't have a lot of stuff going on, which is too bad. And it wasn't a "full house" of 'Twilight' fans. But as the time-till-midnight counted down, the store began to fill up. And the line was lonnnnnnnnnnnnng.

"Alice" and "Victoria" had gotten pretty near to the front of the line. I'd been "there" but "not there"... Not hovering by them, of course! But, in the store. When the line formed, I found a vacant comfy reading chair. No reading. Just kind of tried to "sleep with my eyes open." -grin-

A little before midnight, Son and his Wife {she who had the "burning question"} ,-) came in. They had planned on picking us up. And they were "all dudded-up," from having attended a fancy dinner-dance-party. She, looking striking in long black dress and He looking striking in tux.

So, our Border's had lots of young people, some in various forms of Vampire dress up... And parents waiting for their kids to get their books... And one couple, very dressed up. Bet that beat a lot of "Breaking Dawn" book gatherings. :-)

The Grands both slept here last night. They read one chapter, before going to sleep. "Alice" had to get up early and go to her summer job... selling "The Pink Sheet" at the thoroughbred track. But they both got up, at the same time.

It was a total memory made. And it doesn't get much better than that. :-)

Gettin' ready for the PAR-TAY!!!

My teen Grands are having so much fun, planning their "look" for the Border's PAR-TAY tomorrow night. The are planning on going as "Vampire Girls." Not necessarily, as cast members.

One is dark haired and one is a red head. So at first, we thought "Bella" and "Victoria." But human "Bella" is so plain. And the red head was gonna' have a not-plain-Vampire look. So we ditched the first idea.


I had visions of making "Victoria's" hair really wild and adding some leaves to it, like she/Victoria came out of the woods... and she needed a "pelt" around her. But, saner minds prevailed and I dropped that total plan. lol.

So now, the redhead will be a not-so-wild-looking 'Victoria' and the dark haired one will be a kind-of 'Alice.' Our 'Alice's' hair is long, so it can't be like the 'Alice' wig in the movie. But if it's up in a 'easy bun/ponytail', the hair ends can be waxed to spike out! At least, that's our plan.

Yesterday they were both here and so 'Alice' curled 'Victoria's' hair!



The we went to the Mall and got makeup... for the 'Vampire Look.' Palest face makeup we could find ~ Target Red lipstick ~ eye make up for each.

Came home and they got made up. Wheeee!!! We went next door and showed my daughter-in-law {the one with the 'burning question'}. Their little cousins saw them first and... well, you can imagine the reaction of an 8 year old and a 3 year old boys! To made-up-like-Vampire cousins! LOL.

Above is 'Victoria' from the front.

But............

We have a Family Policy ~~ NO recognizable pictures of any of the Grandchildren, are put on the Net. We fear the weirdos out there, on the World Wide Net. Yes, most people are normal and nice people. But there ARE weirdos. And we long ago, made the decision, to never show recognizable pictures of kids/grand kids on the Net.

Which will be a terrrrrrrrrrrrrible predicament for me, tomorrow night. 'Cause I've already seen them made up, and they are gorgeously spectacular. :-) But.. the full effect will simply not be able to be put in blogs.

"BD" Side Bar thingy...

...~~~...~~~...~~~...~~~...~~~...~~~...~~~...

Yes, I made my own Side Bar thing for 'Breaking Dawn.' To be perfectly frank, the wildly changing widgets are not fun for me to see. Maybe it's my eyes but... they drive me batty. -giggles- So, I didn't grab any, which mmoovvvve. >,-)

-drum roll please-

I would like to announce two more converts to 'Twilight'! My d-i-law and my Net pal Sandi. Wheeee... :-))))

And I put my own 'Breaking Dawn' thing, on my 'Smilnsigh' blog Side Bar also.

...~~~...~~~...~~~...~~~...~~~...~~~...~~~...

Soooooooooooooooooon...

The countdown begins

Are we getting excited yet??? ^_^

But since I'm soooooooooo afraid of being 'spoiled,' I am not going to go to any of the *zillions* of Twilight fandom sites... Except! For the one linked to above... The Official Website of Stephenie Meyer. I'm sure the other fan sites do not want to have any 'spoilers' sneak in. But... Just to be on the safe side, I'm sticking to only Stephanie's site.

-Wonder if I'm alone in this?
-Wonder what everyone else is doing, to avoid being 'spoiled'?
-Wonder if people are planning on reading it quickly, to avoid being inadvertently 'spoiled'? {Then read it again, slowwwwwwly}
-Of if they are still going to read it slowly, and savour it, first time?
-And maybe hole up in a cave somewhere, until they do finish it?

^_^

My Granddaughter who lives near by... Her mom has a copy reserved for her, at the local Border's Book Store. But I don't think she/her mom will be taking her down, for midnight. Guess who? Will be? If 'guess who' can stay awake that long, to drive us down. >,-) I'd better bring a folding chair. I'll get tired in line. ,-)

^_^

Suppose this midnight run, will be a dry run for the midnight run to the mall theater, for the film, in December.

^_^
