Tagged

Okay I just got tagged. Thanks Staci. :P

Here are the rules:
1. link to the person who tagged you.
2. post the rules on your blog.
3. write six random things about yourself.
4. tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.
5. let each person know they’ve been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.
6. let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Okay six random things about myself:
#1 I'm soo not a morning person. Yet I have not slept past 8:00 am for about a year. When I was working full time I might sleep until 9:00 0r 10:00 on a Saturday. Well now I don't have a full time job other then mom and wife and now I usually wake up about 6:30 or 7:00 am. Everyday. Even Saturday and Sunday. BLAH!
#2 I rarely finish anything I start. Well I guess I finish eventually. But I guess I have a hard time keeping on task. For example. I started this post at about 9:30 this morning. It is now fifteen minutes to one.
#3 I'd rather be watching a jazz game with mike and mercedes then doing anything else. When I start projects I run around all day like a chicken with my head cut off. I never think my house is clean enough, Mercedes is full enough, or there is such a thing as "alone" time. So it is when I'm watching a game with my husband and my daughter that I'm totally engaged not only in the game but I'm engaged in the high fives with my Mikey, and the shrieks Baby lets out when when we get excited. This is the best two hours of my day.
#4 If you would have told me 10 years ago that I'd be a stay at home mom I would have told you are insane. I wanted to be so many things and had so many plans. Now I realize that singing, office work, dancing, art, fashion, reading, and adventures...are a daily part of my life now that Mercedes is here. So I guess I really did make the best career choice. Motherhood.
#5 I love my mom's cooking and I don't just say that to make people think I'm nice. If I could cook half as well as my mom....I wouldn't bug her so much to make me food.
#6 If I were to meet a stranger in a dark alley way and they looked liked the friendliest happiest person on the earth and wanted to offer me a million dollars...I still would probably run away screaming just because I was in dark alley way by myself. I don't like to be alone and I don't like scary things. And there are some sick people out there.

Okay I am tagging:

I know some of you don't have blogs but that is just too bad. I'm tagging you anyways!

Twilight Review

Okay so Celine Dion is sick so her concert was rescheduled to February. ARRGH. BLAH. SNAP and OY.. However, :) to make myself feel better I asked my sister to watch my baby (well sleep at my house) so I could go to the midnight showing of Twilight with my niece (and I dragged Mike along as well who was a really good sport about it).
YAY! It was overall super good and I'll probably watch it again very soon. I won't give it away for those who haven't seen it so not to many details....I hope....I'll probably get carried away...so stop reading if I do okay....?

Bella: So Bella was not really what I expected her to be. When I first saw that she was going to play Bella I was like 'ew'. But she is actually pretty in a weird way and she did really well considering how blase Bella is supposed to come across as.
Edward:...ah Edward.......not what I expected either but not a disappointment. Good job.
The Cullen Family: All great adaptations except Jasper who looked constipated.
Everyone Else: Pretty much like I imagined. Even Jacob.
Summary: Well the movie was great. I guess I liked seeing the characters from the book come alive and seeing the passion between Bella and Edward. Mike said he could tell there was a lot of stuff missing. But if they had included the details from the book it would have been like five hours long. Blah...So all in all I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up. A great new love flick with a twist. I wonder what is it about someone who loves you so much they could kill you that is so appealing to people like myself? I doubt we'll ever know. Hey reviewing movies is easy. Okay I'm going to get a life now.

Sweet November



Okay I'll admit it. I'm a HUGE fan of the twilight series. I'm super excited for the movie and believe it or not I briefly considered giving my Celine Dion ticket to my Dad so I could go the opening night. BRIEFLY I SAID!! I wouldn't go to that extreme. I don't know if it is really that great of a series as much as it is fun to get excited about something and look forward to something. I'm the type of person who likes to have something to look forward too. For example, I had a great year this year. I awaited the arrival of my baby shower in January; my last day of work in February; my baby in March and my parents anniversary party; my nephew graduated in May; my baby sister got married in August and my brother-in-law got married in October! And now sweet November.....although you have no weddings, no anniversaries and no babies due......I get to go see Celine Dion in concert (have had the ticket for a year and half and thought the day would never arrive) and I get to see TWILIGHT! YAY! So all-in-all November is right up there in its own special way with the rest of my year;) BTW Melanie, if your reading this....Jane Eyre is definately a classic and one of my favorites BUT! can you really beat high school romance between a human and a vampire in this day and age? I think not;) Leave Jane Erye in the past and read the rest of the books for goodness sake. ;) Love ya!
