More on Breaking Dawn & Halloween Randomness
Imagine my surprise when I got to the end of part 2 of Breaking Dawn on my iPod just to hear that there’s another part…and I hadn’t downloaded it!!! UGH! I wasted a couple hours listening to something else when I COULD have been listening to Breaking Dawn! I’m kind of glad though, that there WAS another part, because it was going to have a really DUMB ending if it ended where the 2nd part did!
So i was back in today at work…and I don’t know how many hours I have left but this book is now progressing nicely.
***SPOILER ALERT***
I was getting kind of tired of the endless talking from Jacob about Bella and her pregnancy. It was driving me crazy…and although it is the next logical step, it wasn’t the next logical step, ya know? But I am glad that Bella is now a Vampire and it’s moving along nicely. And omg, Jacob imprinted on Renesmee…please…that’s kind of a mess….but sweet at the same time. LOL awww and she (renesmee) sounds ADORABLE!!! however, the name is HIT!! yeah yeah, it’s just a book, I know.
I wonder if the author will continue the story or if she’s done. I guess I’ll have to see how Breaking Dawn ends. I will be sad though, when I’m done with this last book…just like I was with the Harry Potter books. Of course, I have the movie(s) to look forward to…I saw a trailer on TV today! Of course, I’ve seen them online, but it looks awesome. Not really how I pictured Bella and Edward, but I still cannot wait!
So it is Halloween today! My husband was so cute…it’s his favorite holiday so he spent the whole afternoon getting the yard “ready” for the trick or treaters. He made a little grave yard and set up his fog machine and strobe light and everything and had it just set up right.
Tomorrow I’m going to my parents to do eBay with my mom. We used to sell a lot of things, but it got to be too stressful and we had things come up and we just stopped for the better part of this year. Well, we’re going to try again. Hopefully this will go well. I think we have to do it differently. I don’t think the software will work, so I’m bringing my laptop to do it on…we’ll see.
I also have to make some more veggie and fruity goop and get some sort of order in the kitchen and with the dog’s food. Plus, I have some foundation stuff to work on and also I’d LOVE to scrapbook a little if I can find time. I have TONS of new kits I want to use!
Breaking Dawn & Crackberry
Well I have about 3 hours or so left to listen to Breaking Dawn. I like the book, but it’s really different than the others. And listening to it is even weirder.
The book, so far, is broken up into 2 parts…there may be a 3rd, I’m not sure. But the 1st was “told” by Bella and the 2nd is “told” by Jacob. So it’s a male voice reading it…which maybe is what is making it so odd.
It’s good and I like it…I guess it’s not what I expected. It’s got a natural progression and it’s interesting how the “problem” is presented. I’m hoping that it will have a good ending. I hate books with bad endings!! Hopefully I finish it tomorrow. I paused it at a really intense part today…generally I try not to do that, but it was time to go and I needed to shut it off. I may got back a little bit to start this part over so I get the whole effect tomorrow.
I got my Blackberry!!! I am addicted…but, NO RINGTONES!!! Ugh!!! I LOVE my ringtones!! I don’t know why I can’t have ringtones. I’m going to try an online site and see if I can get those to work, but I am totally bumming over the ringtones.
The phone is so complex. There’s so much going on…it’s distracting. OMG. And I have no games either. I’m a ringtone and game girl…had I known…well, I still would have gotten it…so I guess that doesn’t really matter LOL DUMB though…
Found a Better Litter Box!
Totally forgot to write about the new kitty boxes!
We’ve been having problems with our cats and the litterboxes. We have 4 cats and so it seems we can never have enough litterboxes. Plus, I’ll admit that we’re pretty lazy and we tend to forget about scooping the boxes and everything, so they get nasty…which makes kitties mad.
Well, we did what I had posted about here.
We got three 18 gallon tubs at Meijer…they were 5.00 each…and my husband so graciously cut the openings in them. We filled two of them with clay litter and one with The World’s Best Cat Litter…and let me tell you, TWBCL is AWESOME!! I love it!!!
Now mind you, we’ve only been using it for a couple days and we only have it in ONE of the three boxes, but so far…it’s really good.
Now to go and see if we can find the alternative…poultry crumbles. I think we have a store nearby that sells it. I’m not 100% sure though…maybe I’ll send the hubbs on a road trip to see if he can find it. I’m sure he will be thrilled with that.
Eclipse, Update on Puppa, & BlackBerry Curve!!!
New Look!!
I think I’m satisfied with this look for now anyways…LOL I’m sure it will change before Christmas!!
Actually I have a sweet little kit in mind…there’s even a glittery pear that is too stinking cute not to use!!
I need to post an update. I will probably do that tomorrow or in a few.
My Poor Puppa!!
Topaz has been throwing up for the past 24 or so hours. He’s going to the vet tomorrow.
The hubbs and I are both pretty worried about him.
Good thoughts for our boy, please!!
Sweetest Day & Butt Heaven!!
He got it at Office Depot and he really went shopping for it with my list of “needs”. We bought one at Target last night and I put it together and really didn’t like it…so we returned it and he went on the hunt for the perfect chair…and he found it too!! It’s really lovely…butt heaven! lol
I finished New Moon and will start Eclipse on Monday. I could easily start it today, but I can’t do anything else while I listen at home so I need to wait if I want to get things done LOL Funny, I have little problem listening at work…but my job is repetitious and I could do it in my sleep.
I listened a little last night and ended up falling asleep with it on…I woke up at like 3am and turned it off. Then I had to turn it back to when I remembered it last and lost like a whole hour. It’s ok though, I needed to go back to get the gist of the story.
I have about 5 gazillion scrappy kits to sort through and move to their proper home on my external drive. I’ve been putting it off because it’s time consuming and annoying lol But in a minute I’ll have to start unzipping them elsewhere!! LOL
I finally go around to making a scrappy page with some of the pictures from my sister’s wedding earlier this month.
*will add later*
This page took me a long time…I was so undecided as to what to put on there. My sister is not traditional in the least and as you can see, neither was the wedding! It was a good time though and they are really happy and I’m happy for them both!
The journaling was part of their vows. I will make other pages using other parts of their vows as well as more/different pictures. I have a few pages in mind.
Anyways…it took me WAY too long to make the page, way too long to get photoshop to cooperate and let me shrink the jpg and I’m about to go watch a moovie with the hubs. Hopefully we can agree on something…we never do with movies though! LOL
I Am Giving In…New Moon
I am sitting here with my earbuds in my ears, iPod at the ready to go lay in my room and listen to some more of this book before I go to bed tonight.
I swear, if I had the paper version, I’d be finished by now….well maybe not, but I wouldn’t sleep until I was.
I have 5 1/2 hours left of this audiobook and then it’s on to the next. I know I won’t finish it tonight…but maybe tomorrow and this weekend?? LOL
Then you know what will happen, I’ll be done with the books and be mad because I miss the story and be waiting patiently for the next one to come out. Just like with Harry Potter…each book left me feeling empty with no closure and longing for the next book to continue the story.
*sigh* I can’t help but want to rush though it…but I know the faster I listen, the sooner it will be over. I guess I could listen to them all over again…ask me how many times I’ve listened to Harry Potter books on audio. LOL A few of them I never actually “read”.
Ok…off to medicate the pup and then back to Jacob and Bella…oh and this mysterious voice of Edward. I wish he’d show his face in this book again already!!!
