Get your tickets for the crazy bus(they’re free!!)

I decided last week I was going to blog at least once a week every week(did I already tell you this? I can’t remember.) So this is it….I actually hope to blog more than once, but we’ll see how it goes!

Let’s see….where to start….Oh! I know!! Twilight is always a good place to start

We hit the midnight release at Hastings. It surprised me how many people were there. I think the adult/kid ratio was even, maybe even a few more adults!! I so totally rocked the trivia! I found out that if you stick one leg out behind you, hop up and down on one foot, wave your arm over your head and yell “Oh! Ooh! OOOHHH!’ really loud you’re more likely to get picked I answered two of the questions(got a poster for Alee and me), the rest I just answered myself. I tried to get Brandy to answer the guys only question(I was practically yelling the answer at him) but he wouldn’t raise his hand–turd. I was first in line in the M-Z line(YAY!) and I got the *first* DVD! And….it came with the watch! I was so shocked since they said they were out, but hey, I’m not knocking it! Wanna see? Of course you do! First is the movie and watch, and the next is a better look at the watch

And it’s looks different than the one that comes with the Blu-Ray, so that’s good! Oh, and I did score some stuff from Wal-Mart. I got a messenger bag(What if I’m not the Her0) and 2 shirts! I was impressed with the amount of stuff they had at Dyersburg. Not so much Ripley. Big surprise there, huh? Anywho, we came home and watched the movie. Gabe and EE crashed about a quarter of the way through it, Alee made it to the ballet studio, and Brandy stayed awake the whole movie! Of course, he hasn’t wanted to watch it since, LOL!

I am so glad it’s finally warming up!! I am beyond sick of cold nasty weather. It’s going to be in the 70’s(and 80 on Friday!) all week, but it’s also going to rain. Which is ok, because I love a good thunderstorm! Summer can’t get here soon enough! I am ready for the heat and the humidity and just being outside and feeling the sun on my skin, baking all my worries away!

Spring Break is finally over, thank god! It was terrible. Alee is the ring leader, I swear. Gabe and EE are bad enough on their own, add Al into the mix coming up with things to do, and it’s a nightmare! But we all survived, barely. I only had to peel gum off the dogs a couple times.

Hmm, what else? I think I’ve got my mojo back. I got a LO done the other day(TW reference in it, of course) and I’m pretty pleased with the way it turned out. Well, ok, I wouldn’t say pleased, but I didn’t immediatly trash it, either. Um, I got the kit for the first SUTUCS challenge. Kit’s cute, don’t know what I’m going to do with it. Shouldn’t have looked through the gallery, either. The stuff is so not my style, and I don’t stand a chance in hell, either. I’ve got till Friday to get the LO done and uploaded, so we’ll see how it goes.

Some exciting stuff going on at PGD…..the birthday bash is still going on, and awesome things in shop! Also, some nifty things are bing rumored for April!

Been to BOM lately? Come play with us(we even have a whole Twilight board!)

Ok, guess that’s all for now…the kids are walking around saying things like hungry, dying of starvation….

embracing my inner fangirl

I think it’s time to admit my secret. I am a fangirl. What? You say you already knew that? It’s been obvious from day one? Pfftt….I never could keep a secret! What tipped you off? Was it that I keep reading the books over and over? The shirts? The jewlery? The random(and almost overwhelming) collection of Twilight Booty? Because I named my dog Emmett’s Bear Chowder? The way I scream like a 13 year old girl at a Jonas Brothers concert anytime I see something Twilight related? Oh well. It’s not like I’m ashamed of my lifestyle(because really, it’s not an obsession, it’s a way of life!), and I don’t think others should be embarrased for me, either So, you might as well get ready for it….I’ve confessed my not so secret secret. You’re going to be hearing way more about Twilight and me than you probably ever wanted to. If you really have a problem with that you should take it up with Heidi. She’s the one that started it all

Which reminds me, only 1 day and a handful of hours until I have the dvd in my grubby little hands!!!! I preordered from Hastings(with the lure of a free Twilight watch with every reservation–only to be told later ‘oops, out of watches, sorry!’), so we’re(Brandy and I, of course I’m dragging him with me!!) are hitting the midnight release party, and afterwards we’re hitting WalMart so I can scope out their Twilight Shop(that they don’t have up yet) and see if there is anything I have to have. And then I get to sit around and wait on May(5th or 6th, I can’t remember which!) to get here…my Blu-Ray and all the yummy stuff that comes in the ultimate collectors set will be here then! And yes, I really do need two copies of the movie. I have to have dvd so I can take it anywhere and be able to watch it, and the blu-ray because Brandy said all the movies we buy have to be Blu-Ray, soooo…. )

So, yeah, that’s pretty much it for now. The kids are quiet which can only mean they’re up to something they shouldn’t be *sigh* and there’s laundry to be done. So I’ll leave you with this, me embracing my inner fangirl(you can say it, I’m a dork!)

funky funk

I hate being in a funk. I have not been able to scrap for days, and the last time I did scrap I used a template, so I feel like I cheated. I sit here, with PSE open, just staring at it. I get as far as having a paper open. That’s it. I know the best thing for me to do is to not open PSE for awhile…just stay away from it. There are so many things I feel like I should be doing. I haven’t done a PGD challenge(other than my own) in I don’t know when, and I feel bad about that. I have an idea for Liz’s upcoming challenge, I just can’t get what’s in my head into PSE. Blah. And, of course, because I’m totally stupid, I signed up for So You Think You Can Scrap. I have absolutely no expectations of winning at all, but, well, I don’t really know why I’m doing it. I like to punish myself I guess.

Anywho, onto other things before I just get totally disgusted. :/

A buttload of photos from the NM set surfaced the other day….talk about squealing like a fangirl!! I’m such a dork I am really pleased with the way everything is coming together(just based on the photos). Rosalie’s wig looks so much better than her hair did in TW, definite improvement! And let me tell ya, I am beyond thrilled with Jasper’s wig. I felt bad for the poor boy–the things they did to his hair in TW! Still not impressed with Jake’s wig, but I comforted myself with the fact that, once he turns into a wolf, the wig will be gone! Yay! There is one tiny thing I’m not happy about………um, does it make me totally obsessed if my first thought was “Crap. I’m going to have to let my hair grow out some.” and then followed that with “Wait, that is so not right. Not even kinda!” when I saw this:

Alice’s hair was one of the few things I felt like they got semi-right in TW….where’s the spiky, sticking out everywhere? And, let me just clarify in case someone doesn’t know — Yes, I got the ‘Alice cut’. I fell in love with the messy, sticking out everywhere-I don’t care ‘do the second I saw it…..hear that? I fell in love with the style, not that it was a Twilight thing(but, ya know, that didn’t necessarily hurt matters ) But this….this I’m not digging. At all. I’m hoping it’s back to normal for the actual shooting of the movie……which is only 249 days away!!!! Can we say counting down the hours like the totally obsessed fan that I am? LOL!

Anywho, that’s pretty much it for now, unless you’d like to talk more Twilight ;o)

*mwah*

calling it quits

I thing it’s time to admit I hate Project 365 and I’m done. I didn’t expect it to be so…..hard. Normally I love my camera, taking pictures. But lately I’ve just not wanted to even touch my camera. My thoughts have been along the lines of “Gah, time to take another picture” and “Why did I think this was going to be a fun idea?”. I’m just not having fun at all with it anymore, and that’s when it’s time to quit. So, that’s that.

Next Saturday is Brandy and my 11th Anniversary. I just can not wrap my head around the fact we have been married for over a decade. It just doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, but, at the same time it feels like it’s been forever. I knew the instant I saw Brandy again that night at the Choir Concert that I was going to marry him-I even told one of my friends that while we were standing in the office waiting to sign in. I just knew it-I saw everything, my whole life with him, when he walked through the door. And I have to say, I love him more now than I ever have. If things keep going this way I don’t see how my heart isn’t going to burst from loving him so much. Sappy, I know, but it’s the truth )

And, speaking of next Saturday, I have to admit I’m totally dreading turning 29. It’s stupid, I know, but I just don’t want to turn 30, and 29 is one step closer. I am totally terrified of getting old, and 30 is that first “old” birthday. Like I said, it’s stupid. Crazy. Irrational. Brandy and I are planning on going out that Friday for our Anniversary. We’re hoping to catch a late showing of The Knowing(gotta have my Nicholas Cage fix!) and then hitting Hastings for the Midnight Release of Twilight(even though it’s reserved and they’ll hold it for 24 hours, I still have to get it the second it’s available). And then I’m coming straight home to watch it, of course ! And we have to go to MaMaw’s on Saturday for Jess and my birthday dinner, so I’m taking the laptop so I can watch it again there ;o)

I have the DVD reserved at Hastings, and then I have the Collector’s Edition Blu-Ray reserved that’s coming in May. My original plan was to just get the Blu-Ray on the 21st, and the collectors edition, too, but I really didn’t want to have to drive all the way to Jackson(the closest Target and Best Buy) to get it. So, we decided the best route to go was to reserve the DVD at Hastings, and get the collectors Blu-Ray. It’s really the best idea…..with the DVD I can have it handy for the laptop(if we ever go somewhere or something like that), and have the Blu-Ray for home. So, YAY, two copies of Twilight, lol!

Alee’s reading New Moon again(Brandy bought her her own copy of NM, cause I’m stingy with mine), and I think when she finishes it I’m just going to go ahead and let her read Eclipse, and then Breaking Dawn. I was holding off on them(especially Eclipse–I had to stop reading and pounce on Brandy right around page 186 ) because they were a little bit more….mature than the first two. But it’s killing her. And I know how crack-like they are, how you have to read the next one as soon as you finish one…it killed me waiting the 2 or 3 months for Breaking Dawn came out(I am still glad I didn’t start reading them sooner–I can’t imagine waiting years in between them!) So, yeah, I think I’m just going to cave and let her read them. I figure we can talk about anything in it she needs to(god knows it won’t be anything like that sex talk we had-that was a nightmare, mostly because I wasn’t ready for it!)

Anywho, the kids and Chowder are fighting over blocks so…..

INK!!!!

So, Friday night we went and got tattoos! Yay!! It’s been way to long since I’ve had fresh ink! I’d been working on my tattoo for months, and finally got it right. Took it in and Dean had some awesome ideas, and OMG, I am so thrilled with the way it turned out!! These pictures are from Saturday morning, so you’ll have to excuse my bedhead )

It kinda took on a life of it’s on after I had it drawn up, but, like I said, I’m beyond thrilled with the results! Definitely my favorite tatt!

You know I totally did a layout about it, too…andI have to say, it’s one of my more favorite ones. I love the….chaoticness to it!

(credits are here)

It snowed Saturday….a little over 6 inches by Sunday morning. The joke–there’s been no school all week. Seriously, they could have gone Monday….we get to today it’s not even funny. I’m assuming since I haven’t heard anything there will be school tomorrow. Lord I hope so, anyway

We went to Jackson Monday since Al was out of school and and Brandy was off work. I bought my first ever bra from Victoria’s Secret! I have issues with spending huge amounts of money on myself, but Brandy insisited, sooo….I picked up one of those Biofit bras….gotta admit, I’m loving it!!!! Still not sure I’ve recovered from dropping $45 on a bra, but whatever. Did a little damage in Hot Topic, too. Not too bad, I only picked up one shirt(Alee got one and the Cullen Crest locket), but Brandy did go into Hastings Sunday and pick me up a few things! ;o)

So, yeah, that’s pretty much it here. Counting down the dyas until I have Twilight in my hands(16 days!)

*mwah*
