Twilight…the movie. My Thoughts!

The movies was everything I thought it was going to be and now I cannot wait for the DVD to come out! Hopefully it will come out soon. I can’t imagine them taking their time with this one. And I will definitely be sending the hubbster out at midnight to pick this dvd up for me and I truly HOPE they offer a digital copy, or else I’ll be getting one on iTunes!
So my thoughts…well, I knew going in that to cram the entire Twilight book into a 2 hr movie wasn’t happening. Kind of like the Harry Potter books…they left out some things from the book to the movie and added in a little bit to make it all flow better or to explain things that were kind of left unexplained or foggy. So the same thing happened with Twilight. Sometimes I think that reading (or listening to in my case) the books too many times before seeing a movie can make you focus on the differences or what was missing rather than the actual movie itself.
Like my husband, he’s never read the books…and he loved the movie. Of course, he didn’t know that they added in this part or left out that part, or these two parts were out of order. Which may be a good thing…
So, aside from how the movie and the book were different from each other, I thought it was done really well and really enjoyed it!
I don’t understand why for most of the movie Edward looked so mad! And Jasper…omg he was kind of ridiculous, like a deer in headlights. LOL I’m sure there was a reason…maybe he was like that in the books and I missed it lol, I’m not sure. But it was kind of funny. And Rosalie…um, BITCH! lol But she really kind of was like that.
I give Twilight a definite two thumbs up…loved the book, loved the movie and cannot wait till New Moon!

Twilight…Tomorrow & Wasabi
Tomorrow is the day!! i FINALLY get to see Twilight!! I am SO excited! I cannot wait! I think my hubbs is going and we’re taking my 11 yr old nephew. He’s read the first book and is also pretty excited to see the movie. Hopefully we can find a matinee to see it at and it won’t be too crowded.
I will update tomorrow and let you know if I loved it or not. I’m sure I will!! Now to just wait when it comes out on video. LOL and yes, i WILL be getting a digital copy! I am totally addicted.
Do you like the new look to the blog? I love these embellishments! I cannot believe Christmas is right around the corner!!
Thanksgiving was fun. We had dinner…with all the fixins, then looked at the sales papers while my mom and sister made their game plan for this morning. They went out at 4am! Good LORD!! Guess they got some great deals though, which is good! The hubbster also went out on a hunt for movies. He got me the full season of My So Called Life. I’ve been wanting it for a while! How exciting!
And I was able to get a few pictures of my sister’s kitty, Wasabi…he’s a beast…check him out!! He’s not a year yet!
And here he is in April when she first got him….he’ll be a year on January 18!
How cute is he??? He’s a chicken kitty though…which is too bad. But he’s SOO huge and floppy and has the softest fur ever! I just want to snuggle him! He’s really beautiful too…and my sister says he’s BAD!! But he’s a kitten…and well, we like bad in our house.
Here, we’re out numbered and they’re taking over. heh
Thanksgiving & The Woe of Cat Poop LOL
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to anyone in the states who happens upon my little blog. I hope you have a safe one!
I have many things to be thankful for:
- my husband is still doing fairly well, despite having his illness
- i am surrounded by my family who loves and supports me
- my animals
- topaz has gone over 200 days without a seizure
- we have a nice house in a nice neighborhood
- i have a good job with good health insurance
- i have my own health
- my friends
I could go on, but those are the main ones. It’s good to look at our lives and take a second to be thankful for the things we have. We’re always complaining (we as people) about what we wish we had or what we don’t have that sometimes we don’t take the time to look at the things that we do have.
This is Beans…she’s our little female kitty. She’s really skiddish and shy. We rescued her, and before she was at the shelter, she was locked in a house or an attic with no food or water while a lady was hospitalized for a couple weeks. She had to have been eating something, or she wouldn’t have made it. But anyways, she was kind of traumatized and she’s now really just not so friendly…not like the boys.
Anyway, we’ve been having issues with her pooping under our bed. The litterboxes are in a room at the back of the house. We have 3 large ones. Problem is that every one of our animals, dogs included, pick on Beans…and before you feel sorry for her, she is nasty and she also picks back. I don’t know who started it all, but they don’t always get along. They have their moments though.
My husband and I are tired of cleaning diarrhea up under the bed…and behind the couches. What a yucky mess…all.the.time! In fact, I’m washing my blankets right now because they got poop on them…nice. Can’t go to bed until the blankets are washed and dried.
She’s been doing this a while. I am thinking that she maybe can’t make it down to the boxes, or else is cornered. It would be different even if it was solid, but it’s totally gross.
What we’re going to do is get a couple or a few feliway diffusers and put one in our bedroom, one in the dining room and one in the literbox room. Take a sample of the poop to the vet, along with Beans and see if there’s anything wrong that’s causing the diarrhea. Maybe she can get the same meds that they gave Alex. And then we’re going to give her a little time and see how it goes.
We don’t want to have to get rid of her, but then again we don’t want to clean up cat poop for the rest of our lives. So we’ll see how she does. I hope we can nip this in the bud.
Tomorrow we’re heading to my sister’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. It’s just going to be my parents, my husband, my sister and I. We’re going to bring our Wii over and we’ll have a traditional dinner…just downsized a little lol. Although, my sister said she got a lot of munchies! We’re also eating at a traditional dinner time. (like 5pm) rather than 2 or 3 like we usually do.
We should have a good time! Maybe we’ll bring over a couple movies too. My sister has this Maine Coon kitten, Wasabi, and he’s a monster. He’s HUGE! I will bring my camera and try to snap a picture or two of him! He’s so fluffy and pretty!
Ok…enough babbling. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

November Resolution & Other Weekendy Randomness
Anyways…I am declaring right here and now that this will be the LAST time that I let the dishes pile up and I will make a conscience effort to stay on top of them!
There you have it world…I’ve got it down in black and white. I can’t go back on it now.
Ugh, I’ve been doing the dam dishes all day…and have AT LEAST two more loads to do…We didn’t have ONE piece of silverware clean, most of the bowls were dirty and there were various pots and pans and plasticy bowls and such dirty as well. I actually should be in the kitchen unloading the clean ones and putting in another load of dirty.
I have to do a load of laundry too actually. No clean socks or underware…and I think I will need some panties for tomorrow. LOL…well, and socks too! I could do a load after this next dish load. Dumb housework things.
I need to make some more goops for the dogs too. I have to mix in some meat with the one veg mix we bought and also mix in the supplements so there’s something for the hubbs to feed the dogs in the mornings. I’ll probably do that last, once the counter is all clean and sparkly, right before I go to bed.

Coming soon!
I made the above scrappy page a few days ago and have been meaning to post it up. The hubbster and I recently got a Wii…and let me tell ya, best.fun.ever! We got Guitar Hero World Tour and we each have a guitar so we battle. It’s pretty funny. Anyway, I found this cool font from Lettering Delights and when I heard hubby in the living room playing GH alone, I quick snuck in there and took a few pictures. He was so deep in concentration that he barely noticed! LOL He was doing a really hard song! (I also got some AWESOME Twilight fonts from there as well!)
Speaking of Twilight…who went to see the movie??? Not me, not yet anyways!! First problem is no one wants to go with me. The hubbs will go if i can’t find anyone else. He says he’s interested because it’s vampires…but I don’t think he really understands and will be waiting for “his” kind of vampires. Not these Cullens. So…on Saturday I’m taking my 11 yr old nephew to the show. The hubbs will probably come along too…just to not have to stay home, and we’ll probably make him drive. We’ll probably go to the good theater with the lover seats LOL so we can be all comfy while we get our movie on! So i am pretty excited for that!!!
I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is this week!! Good LORD! Where did 2008 go?? It’s flown right out the window!
Well the dishes are calling me…fun stuff. Not!
Oh…before I go, remember how I was stressing about my dr appt?? Well it was a piece of cake. I was in and out in 1/2 hour. WHEW!!! Of course, i need to go back in February…so I will be stressed again! LOL Oh well.

Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment after work. Anyone know how to lose like 50lbs overnight? LOL I just don’t feel like hearing how I’m heavier now than I was at my last appointment. Yes, i know. I just want the refill for my meds so I don’t feel crazy going off them and then I want to go about my merry way. Thankyouverymuch. heh
We’ll see what happens tomorrow. *sigh*
Either way, the hubbs and I will be going grocery shopping on Thursday and we *will* be getting healthier foods!! I mean it…seriously! No more fast food, no more junk food… I need to give up the pop too…baby steps though. LOL babysteps.
Now on to my baby Fanna…or Alex, which is his “given” name. He’s had diarrhea basically since we’ve adopted him. He’s also had an eye that is periodically runny and shook his head whenever his ears were touched. We finally decided to take him to the vet for all of these things. We did so last week or the week before.
They gave us a liquid med for the diarrhea, and ear ointment and an eye ointment. We took him in on a Saturday…oh, and he got a full blood panel done and we brought in a stool sample too. he also got some shots and other tests.
On Saturday night he was kind of sleepy…I figured it was from the shots he got…no biggie. Well, he wasn’t moving on Sunday morning. My husband took him to the table to eat breakfast and he didn’t eat a bite…in fact he didn’t move from the same spot and he kind of cried when my husband picked him up. We called the vet knowing that cats go downhill fast when they stop eating and got an appointment for later in the afternoon.
We took him back in and he had an allergic reaction to the leukemia shot I think it was…so they gave him a shot of something else and some fluids and sent us home with some predinosone. (sp) We noticed a difference by dinnertime! He actually ate his dinner…even though the vet said not to worry about it since he had the fluids…and he’s been good ever since. Poor little guy! But he’s on the mend.
Well I gotta get going. It’s late, the dogs need meds and I need to get to bed!

My Mom’s Christmas Decorations
We had a lovely dinner at my parents house with my sister, her new husband and her son! My other sister is in Tennessee with her fiance. (He asked her this past week!! woo hoo!) I took a lot of pictures of my mom’s Christmas decorations. I am gonna share my favorites!
She also has this FABULOUS jewelry Christmas tree that she made. She’s making me (well we will make it together) a pear shaped one for my living room or dining room. I CANNOT WAIT to get that baby home! Here are a couple pix of her tree:
Yeah, that’s ALL Jewelry!! Very sparkly and cool. hers has these little lights in it too. It’s just the sweetest thing!!
Snowy Sunday Babblings!
It’s SNOWING!!!! AHHHH yuck! I hate the snow! Well, I don’t mind the snow or cold really, I just hate driving in snow and ice. Makes me hella nervous!
Today we’re headed to my parents house to have dinner with my sister, her son, and her new hubby. Should be a good time. My mom has her house all decorated for Christmas already and I’ll be taking my camera along to get some pictures. I’ll probably put them on my flickr site this week…or maybe even tonight, depending on when we get home.
I’m going to try to get a decent picture of the hubbs in front of my mom’s tree and I for Christmas cards too. I think we’ll be sending them out this year! We didn’t last year because we moved and things were kind of hectic!
Some big news!! My Topaz has made it to 200 days SEIZURE FREE!!! Actually today is day #202!! What an accomplishment! He’s doing GREAT too!! I’m so happy for him…and I hope it continues! We seem to be on the right track right now!
I scrapped this little page to celebrate this joyous occasion!
I need to update about Alex too…actually, I don’t think I ever wrote what’s been going on with him…but I will soon…gotta jump a shower and get going!
2 Cats – Keep Them Inside Plz!
Better to be inside and fat than outside and flat.
Sadly, this morning as I was driving to work there were 2 dead cats that had been hit by cars in the road. Well one was on the side of the road and one was in the road.
I can’t help but wonder if there is a child pout there who’s kitty has gone missing and won’t ever be coming back.
I also can’t help but think of the fab four felines we have living in our house. The hubbs and I would be devestated if anything were to happen to one of them. I can’t imagine.
I can possible understanding having outdoor cats when you live in a rural area or have a barn or lots of acreage. But in the city? You’re putting a death wish on your kitty!
Please…keep your beloveds inside! Dogs and cats alike!
