In a bathroom, in Forks......

First, I got this from Mary Helen over on her Forks WA blog. Thank you Mary Helen!!!

The In The Bathroom At Forks one is the only one I looked at yet. But it's a hoot.

Have to look at the other two, which Mary Helen links to, in that entry of hers. Later, that is.

And yes, I'm behind in commenting in 'Twilight' blogs. I'm behind in everything it seems. No post of my own, on 'Breaking Dawn' either... with Spoilers of course.

Is there any news of when we might expect "Midnight Sun" to be finished and out? If everyone but me, knows the answer to this one... well, what can I say? I already said I'm behind on everything. -sigh- But if you know, please tell me in a comment. And if you can leave me a link to a site, which tells this, please and thank you for that too.

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-

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.

Bella's Truck is in Forks!!!

Mary Helen read that Bella's truck is in Forks, WA.

So she {click-->} got pictures of it.

Please go and tell her that we LUV her, for so doing.

Or maybe, tell her that we LUV her husband. 'Cause she sent him, to go take the pic of it!!!

We LUV you, 'Mr. Mary Helen'!

^_^

My daughter-in-law has a burning question...

My daughter-in-law has a burning question...

And I do mean burning. >,-)

She is driving me crazy, wanting to know if vampires can be intimate. {Is that a delicately enough stated question, for a family blog???}

See, she is torn between the idea of life with warm and human {most of the time} Jacob, and life with never warm and human Edward. This conundrum is driving her 'up the wall.' And she is taking me 'up the wall,' with her. {And when she reads this, she will come over and *kill* me, but that's a story for another day}

I say that when Bella asked Edward about Emmet and Rosalie being 'married,' that his {delicately put} answer was, that they really, really are married folks. But d-i-law didn't read it that way. Phulllllleeeeeeeeeeze everyone, tell me how you read it!?! Please... Please... Please.....

Because, Granddaughter and I are in the "Bella Must End Up With Edward" camp. And I fear that my d-i-law is coming close to being in the "Bella Must End Up With Jacob" camp. Quelle horreur! Division in the family! This can not be!

Please, someone back me up... Tell me that you agree with me... That though Vampires are collllllllllllllllllllllld, they can still get hot.

NEW 'Twilight' Teaser

NEW 'TWILIGHT' TEASER!!!

Click on --> Twilight Lexicon, Stephenie's Official Fan Site!!!

~~~

It wouldn't load quickly for my Grand, so I had her run over through the back yard, to see it. She did.

~~~

Then we both went next door and *captured* my Daughter-in-law and brought her over here, to watch it too. -grin- My poor husband is trying to watch a tv show, and we keep running in and out the back door, in front of him.

But he loves it, of course. -grin-

Another 'Twilighter'!!!

Yeaaaaaaaaaa! Just met another 'Twilighter,' via a comment she left, on my last entry. Hi to 'Ms. Hays' of Poplar Bluff Area Daily blog. I'll add her blog link to my Sidebar, if it's ok with her. :-)

~~~

I love meeting regular 'Twilight' fans. There are *zillions* of more-official 'Twilight' sites/blogs on the Net. They are great. But it's also fun to meet regular people, so to speak. Who love to chat about "our obsession." :-)

~~~

And btw, I finished 'The Host.' And the "spoiling" {click here} didn't fully "spoil" it for me. I was kind of pouty, when that "spoiling" happened. -sigh- And I didn't pick the book right back up again. And was thinking if I'd just sort of skip on, through the little I had left, to read. Because I was mad and grumpy and whiny, about "being spoiled." -silly grin-

~~~

I picked the book back up, planning on skimming ahead. But.....

It grabbed me right back into the twists and turns of the story! Stephenie is good!!! Her writing keeps grabbing you, and making you not-skip and keeps you glued to the book. :-) I was again 'burning the midnight oil,' to really finish it.

~~~

And now, I'd so love to find places to chat about 'The Host.' Net places where no one will be "spoiled" by such chatting. Places for only people who have read the whole book. But so far, I haven't found any. If you do, please give me links to places you find. Please and thank you.

~~~~~~~~~

Decisions... And another!

Oh Oh! The library has a copy of 'The Host' for me, already!!! Eeeeeek! I didn't think I'd get it, this quickly, on a library hold.

Now what do I do? I thought I didn't want to read it yet. While still into the Twilight saga. But.........

Now............

They have it sitting right there on a shelf, waiting for me.......

Oh sigh.......... Decisions.... Decisions.... Decisions... -grin-

~~**~~**~~

Another blogger tells me that she is addicted to the Twilight saga, too!!! So I added her blog link, to those on my Sidebar. She is Betty at She'sSewPretty. Betty commented here, in my 'Another Twilighter' entry;

"My 13 year old niece got me hooked on the twilight books. Her younger sister and every single one of their friends are hooked and now I've got my daughter hooked. She and I are big fans of Jacob. I screamed like a little girl when my niece had her mom buy me the twilight series for my birthday."

Yes M'am! She's addicted! :-))))

~~**~~**~~

Another Twilighter...

I knew my D-i-law was reading 'Twilight.' But, didn't know how she was liking it. We were at Granddaughter's softball game today... {They are undefeated and her pitching is great, btw} Anyway, I'd previously told D-i-law that I had stayed up till like 3am, reading some of the Twilight saga books. So re-reading them, as I'm doing, is a very good idea for me.
~~~

Well, today at the game, she {D-i-law} told me {without my asking} that she is staying up way too late at night, reading 'Twilight.' :-))) And said she probably has dark circles under her eyes. -grin- Sooooo... Not only is there another reader in my family.... There is another addicted reader in my family. :-)
~~~

Other D-i-law... Watch out! We are all coming for you now. And our numbers have now swollen to 4. :-)))))))))

New desktop wallpaper...

New desktop wallpaper. What can I say? I'm changeable. ,-) But with so many to choose from! Why not change? :-)

Plus, I love Alice. And Jasper is lookin' mighty cute, himself. :-)

My Grand won't *appreciate* my having *deserted* Edward though... >,-)

~~:-:*:-:~~

Teaser Views: 165,197 ~ May 7, 2008 ~ 09:41 EDST

Can't rate the teaser, unless I join. Am I realllllllllly going to join You Tube?!?!?!

~~:-:*:-:~~

More ~~ I'm obsessed!

More of "I'm obsessed"...


Above... My desktop wallpaper... {And you can click on any pic, to enlarge it}


My thermal coffee cup... The way the dishwasher has 'mottled' it...


So what, you ask? Wellllll, it caught my eye because it looks something like one of the headers on a Twilight site... Sort of like a modern art version of 'the forest'! Ok, Ok, I'm stretching. But, I think it sort of does. And it will always look like that, to me, from now on. ,-)



Our old truck. I know! It's blue and not red but... So bite me. >,-)



It is a real live 1950 Chevy truck! My husband's pride and joy! He's done so much restoration work on it, and has lots more to do, inside.

And it does make enough noise to 'wake the dead,' when he turns it on! -grinnnnnn- And I didn't used to really enjoy riding in it. But now, I do!!!

Nope, never tried to drive it. Even though I've known how to drive a stick shift, since I was 16 and got my driver's license. "Back at the beginning of time." ,-)

Maybe I will try driving it now... Hey, if Bella can, I can!

^_^

You know you're obsessed with Twiligh when...

You know you're obsessed with Twilight when...



When you try to draw a floor plan of Charlie's house.... {only downstairs, so far}.

And take/post pictures of it, trying to show your *project.*

^_^

But.... how many chairs are in the {handkerchief sized} Family Room???

~~Click on photos, to enlarge~~
.
~~UPDATE:~~
Phooie, the sink is not in front of a kitchen window. Read last night {re-reading 'Twilight'} that Bella asked someone to get something "out of the cabinet that's over the sink". Harumph... So, I have to revise the kitchen layout. Actually, I'll probably have to re-read all 3 books, with a particular eye out, as to any house descriptions, which pop up. Then and only then, can I get it right. Well, as right as I can.

Wonder if the person in charge of composing sets on the film, was as careful as I'm being? -grin-

I repeat, I am not obsessed. >,-)
