It's been a while

I obviously have not kept up with my goal of posting once per week. In early February, when stress in my life reached its all-time high, I found it hard to keep posting. Let's see if I can get back into that habit. I have a lot on my mind, but not much that I can or want to write about, or that anyone would care to read about. haha

Over the last couple weeks, I read the full "Twilight" series. A few months ago, my friend Janell and I were going to go see a movie and she wanted to see this one. I hadn't really had a desire to see it, I didn't really get all the "hype" about it. But I figured, sure, why not?

I found that I really enjoyed the movie, and wanted to read the books. It wasn't until a couple weeks ago that I got ahold of the first one. I read a few pages on a Thursday night (2 weeks ago last night) but had homework to do so I didn't really start it till Saturday. I had it finished by Sunday afternoon. Amazingly, the library had "New Moon" checked in, and I picked it up Monday morning. I finished it on Wednesday, I think. The next day I decided I couldn't wait until the library had "Eclipse" in stock, so I picked it up at Target. I got through that one by Saturday, I think, and was determined I would wait to read "Breaking Dawn" until I could get it at the library or borrow it. But Tuesday was a really stressful day and I decided I'd like a break from reality, so I bought it at Walmart Tuesday night. I finished it Wednesday afternoon...it was 754 pages. And believe it or not, I did other things too. I slept for close to 6 hours, did all the "normal" stuff like fix meals, school, etc., took the girls to indoor park, and had a tea party with them.

The "Twilight" books aren't great literary works, and are easy reads. But they are GOOD. If you haven't read them, I highly suggest looking into it...it might surprise you how much you like them!
