I had a GREAT time visiting family and friends in Missouri. It was *so* good to spend that time in my hometown, and it’s always even better to return to the D, and snuggle back into my cozy little life here. Pictures of the nephews and niece will come shortly…when I have a spare second!
It’s confession time. I am deeply entrenched in reading a series of books that I’m embarrassed to confess I love. The Twilight series is ridiculously basic reading. And I LOVE the books. I’ve finished the first two: Twilight and New Moon (started and finished yesterday!!!), and now you can bet I’ll be at the store picking up Eclipse tonight. I was super embarrassed at first that I was so into a vampire novel, but now I’m all “whatever” and keep on reading. I am so into this series, I’m seriously disappointed when I stop reading for a second and realize, “oh wait, this is just a book…and I have a life.” I also realize that I’m 27 and desperately want to know I’m not the only woman in her 20’s reading these books and enjoying them. Did I mention they are making or have already made a twilight movie that’s coming out in december? Click here to see all the goth romanticalness. Please, someone join in with me and read these mindless vampire romances with me. Yeah, I know. shut up.
Oh! Also! I hit a big number this weekend. 75 pounds lost total since January. WOOT! I’m so pleased! I really didn’t conceptualize that I would have lost this much so soon, but I feel fantastic. I hope (crosses fingers) that I can hit 100 pounds lost by the end of this summer. That would be a surreal and fabulous dream come true. I have no idea if I’ll actually comprehend what a feat this was/is. I would love to say I’m going to celebrate and do something wonderful and fabulous, but mostly I think i’ll just keep my head down, my eyes focused and keep pressing on towards my goals.
Well, not much depth to my writing today. I could have made each of these topics a long post, but I’m scattered in the brain, with work to catch up on, cleaning to catch up on, Vampire novels to read, and weight to keep losin’.
Congratulations my friend – you’ve officially passed up my number!! I’m so proud of you though… keep on losing!
okay, so i can’t believe you’re reading that book. i’m in a book club and it’s my turn to pick this month and i had someone suggest twilight to me. i was wanting a good, romantic easy read. does it fit the bill?
I am so amazed to hear you wonderful weightloss!!!
congrats!
Totally and completely inspiring!!!
Welcome home! Your blog has been far too quiet!
I admit to having my stint with vampires when Anne Rice’s books came out. I even imagined being a vampire and making my cat one too so he could stay with me forever and ever (really wish I could have done that as I still miss him). Not sure if I could read more vampires again. I’ll have to think about it.
Congrats on the 75 pounds!!
Glad you had such a great time on your trip!!
I haven’t read those books, BUT… I know someone who has! Someone older than you! With 4 kids!
Well, i don’t actually KNOW her, but I’ve been reading her for years… Jessica at kerflop.com (and now balancingeverything.com). She went on and on about the Bella character.
You’re not alone!
75… daaaaaayum! You rock.
Hey Girl face…good to have you back…even though you clearly did not swing on down to Houston while you visited Missouri
My best friend Tami, actually read and loved the Twilight series. She has a daughter, Paige (17) who introduced her to them. Tami just turned 46 so I think you are gonna be okay…lol.
If you are a big reader in general, I would highly recommend the numbers series by Janet Evanovich. I have never laughed so hard OUT LOUD, mind you, in public, as I have reading her stuff. She actually has three different series and like 10 individual non serial novels and quite frankly they are all hysterical but I would recommend the number series above all others and the best part is that there are 14 books in the numbers series and she is optioned to do sixteen at least. Super good times.
Anyway, glad you are back sister christian…Jil
