New Moon…pass the kleenix plz!

This may contain some spoilers, so if you haven’t read the 2nd book in the Twilight series…don’t read on.
I finished Twilight today…it was great. Of course I was right into the 2nd book, New Moon, as soon as I was done. I am not sure how far I got into the book (I am listening, mind you) but I know if I was reading I wouldn’t have put it down till I was done.
Something was happening today while I was listening to the book…*spoiler alert*…when Edward was saying goodbye to Bella, I was devastated. I was this close to tears from that point on…omg when Bella was in the woods…I almost had to leave my desk because I just needed to go to the bathroom to cry. I didn’t want to leave my iPod and stop listening to do so though!! LOL
To me, this is silly and crazy. I am not generally emotional when reading/listening. Sure, I read Marley and Me and cried at the end…and I’ve listened to other books and cried…and omg when Dumbledore died…forget it!! I was completely bawling then!!!
But I never thought this would effect me quite like it has. I said though, that I get into books when I listen to too many all at once with the same characters/story line. I mean even now if I really sit here and think about everything….I still get kind of weepy. How pathetic is that??
I have no clue how I’ll get through tomorrow…omg and the weekend…without listening??? I may have to sneak a few hours in this weekend.
I’ll try to be strong for tomorrow’s listening.

Almost Finished with Twilight!!
I bought the 2nd and 3rd book in the series and will buy the 4th as well as her adult novel, The Host once I finish the other two books…so probably next week.
One thing is for sure, it definitely helps me keep my butt in my seat at work when I have something good to listen to!
I can’t wait for the movie in November. I sure hope I can find someone willing to go with me!! Maybe I’ll drag the hubbs along. I’ve seen plenty of horror movies that have warped my brain…he owes me a movie! LOL
Only bad thing with listening to many books in a row with the same characters is that after a while I am thinking they’re real. LOL totally crazy, I know…but I kind of get sucked in. I did that with the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich…I listened to like 5 or 6 of those books one after another and after a while I expected to see Ranger or Joe Morelli on the street LOL Crazy.
Oh well the first book is great and I can’t wait to get more into the series.
Other random stuffs….
I have a very hurty cold sore on my lip. I hate it when I get those!!! First they are all puffy and then when the top falls off they get really hurty for a few days. Dumb herpe!!!! And my dh keeps making fun of me too!! *pout!* I cannot wait for this dumb thing to be gone!!
The fall colors around here are beautiful!! i really want to take the new camera out for a spin and take some pictures of the trees around. There’s this HUGE cemetary by work that has some of the most lovely trees in it! I wish it wasn’t so far away from the house or I’d go there and take the camera. maybe Friday I’ll take it to work with me. I need a smaller bag for it so it’s more portable. Right now I have this HUGE bag. I’ll have to check out amazon or something for a new bag.
GH is on in a few…I am excited for the halloween show! I can actually stay up and watch it this year. I wasn’t as into the show last year so I didn’t really care, but I’m all in this year.
Jumped on the "Twilight" Bandwagon
I finally ordered Twilight
by Stephanie Meyer on audio. I mainly wanted to see what all the hype is about I guess. I’m about 4 chapters in and it’s really pretty good. I’m glad I made the purchase. I’ll have to see the movie when it comes out in November if I like the book and will definitely be getting the rest of them on audio. I find it really interesting that the author is Mormon and she’s writing about Vampires and everything. Kind of weird…but in a cool way. Even Christians can find that stuff interesting without falling into some dark whatever.
I don’t have much to say besides that…and I have some HUGE herpe on my lip!! I HATE cold sores!! YUCK!
Of course I also didn’t have anything to put on it, so I went out and had to buy a cold sore arsenol. Hopefully it won’t last too long. It’s huge and hurty though.
Lovely Laptop!
I’m sitting on my back deck at our table on my laptop right now. The dogs are in the yard stalking and chasing the squirrels that are dumb enough to get on the fence…perhaps they didn’t hear of the black squirrel’s untimely demise a couple weeks ago…death by dog in our yard.
I’m listening to the soothing (yes, I honestly think it’s soothing) sounds of the traffic going by. We live close to a busy intersection and I can actually see a CVS from our house…and a gas station. And I believe in one minute or so the clock on the corner will chime or play a song or something. If not then, then definitely in 15 minutes…on the 1/2 hour.
I really need to get used to these keys and everything.
I’m sitting here waiting for the APSFA website….ahhhh there goes the clock!!!…..to be pulled from the internet onto this computer via Adobe Dreamweaver. The site is pretty big, so it’s taking some time…
Shoot, had I known how peaceful this was going to be I would have come out here a long time ago.
Wedding Recap, New Camera, Daytrip to Frankenmuth & Laptop!!
I’m a bad blogger, I’ve been busy this week and have been neglecting my blog!!
The wedding was last weekend and it was a good time. The ceremony was a handfasting and was really unique. My sister’s Wiccan and her husband is Scottish and she loves all things Celtic, so it was a very interesting mix. I’ll post some scrappy layouts as soon as I make them!
His family is HUGE and they are very nice and were hospitable to us. The drive up north was pretty with the fall colors and the dogs did well in the car. We couldn’t rent a minivan as we had planned…but that’s ok. Everything worked out well! I am, however, VERY glad it’s over. Not in a bad way or anything, but it was kind of stressful for me….and I wasn’t even the one getting married!!
My bonus FINALLY came and we got the opportunity to pay off a few things, my car included! WHEW!!! No more car payment! I also got a couple toys to play with!!
I LOVE the last one with the fall colors…it was pretty up there and so pretty driving up! I would have stopped if we weren’t with my sister and it wasn’t so late in the day.
Ok moving along to….my laptop! woo hoo!! I got an HP. It’s a 17 in, 4 gig RAM, 320 gig hard drive. Bigger than my desktop! LOL Took me a bit to figure out the wireless thing, but I got it and we’re good to go. I need to get a case for it and I’ll be all set. It’s kind of weird to not use a mouse. I ended up getting one, but don’t really plan on using it ALL the time.
Halloweenie is coming – Favorite Halloween Scrappy Kits!!!
It’s this time of year when I wish we had little ones to dress up in spooky and fun costumes and go trick or treating with through our neighborhood. The hubbs just LOVES Halloween! It’s his favorite holiday. Me? I love Halloween as well, not the scary parts but the colors, the season, the candy. lol
I also really like Vintage halloween graphics.
This one is by Ellie Lash. Who doesn’t LOVE Ellie Lash’s kits?? I sure do…the colors are great for girls or boys and its got sweet cartoonie type embellys. My favorite part is the black cat!
This one is an original by Julia Makotinsky at Little Dreamer Designs. I LOVE the beware sign with the little candy corns with faces on them!! TOO CUTE!
Gotta love a Sunshine Girl!! I think this kit is adorable. The trick or treaters are just too cute! I love the candy!! This one’s by Denise Liemert. Go to Sunshine Studio Scraps to grab this one.
Ok, these are the Halloween colors I was talking about!! LOVE them!!! The pumpkins in this kit are GREAT! Lots of life in them. This one’s by Melissa Bennett at the Sweet Shoppe!
Heh…with a name like “Googly Boo” how can you go wrong?? This one brings me back to my youth and googly eyed stickers and well…just about everything else! By Michelle at Studio Girls Scrapbook Graphics.
This one has those vintage graphics I just love. I will be buying this one for sure. It’s available at Scrap Girls and it’s by Syndee Nuckles.
This kit is another that I’ll definitely be buying. I love the witch hat and the glasses. Too cool. It’s available at Scrap Orchard and it’s by Irene Alexeeva.
I promise you this is a Halloween kit. It’s got such unique items in it. If you like “real” items then you’ll like this kit. I think it’s awesome. Totally original, and I’d buy it just to see all that’s included!! It’s another from Studio Girls Scrapbook Graphics and it’s by Lorie Davison.
It’s available at Plain Digital Wrapper by Donna Rafferty. I got it because it has more of a magic theme and I will use some of the Elements for my sister’s pages. She’s wiccan. Also, it has a vintage feel, and I love that.
I may have this one, I’ll have to look. It’s simple, funky,
grungy…has some bling and a super cool Candy Corn alpha. I LOVE candy
corn!! It’s a Funky Halloween at the Funky Playground by Corina Nielson.
