A offering for your eyes in exchange for my lack of creativity!!

Happy Friday!! I thought to appease you with this nice picture someone emailed to me a while ago. I like it! I like it a lot! I hope you do too!

With my offering, I also include an apology for the lack of interesting posts lately. Life is really cramping my style. I do promise a great post highlighting my birthday party tonight. Can you guess the theme!?!?! Yep-easy peesy-- Twilight!!! Actually I think it is New Moon. MrsMe has made secret plans that include me spending 12 hours removing all personal effects from my living room and kitchen. (Since Twilight my housekeeping skills have definitely suffered).

I cannot wait!! This will be the best 21st Birthday party ever!!!

(RZ and most everyone I know are not falling for the 21st birthday thing-- I think RZ is afraid it is a desperate attempt to delude myself into thinking I am not to old for Rob Pattinson. Please don't worry about my delusions. I happen to know that Rob values maturity and experience. Think of all I could teach that boy!!!)

*Oh shit!! Someone keep RZ busy for a few days so he doesn't read this!! I will be in trouble!!

This picture tugs at my heartstrings. The pain of separation is still in their eyes. I just know that New Moon is going to be great!! I am serious though--I want to cry!!! I want the movie to make tears run down my face. If this picture is an indication of the emotion Rob and Kristen will portray, I think I will pack some kleenex.

Twilight Moms- Back to school

Tonight was Back-to-School night at my son's school. It was so exciting to see my mom friends that I had not seen all summer!! Do we talk about our summers or our children's education. No!!! A lot of my friends are on Facebook with me. I chronicle my obsession with Twilight on FB and everyone knows I love it. What is so thrilling is the number of people who mentioned it to me tonight. Some are closet fans, most are not as obsessed as I am, but appreciate my enthusiasm. I love spreading the joy!!!

I have a very good friend who I had not spent any time with since about April. I was so excited to see her at the first PTO function of the year. It was there that I asked if she had read the books. She had not!! I begged her to read the book. She took her kids to Target immediately and bought the books. 2 days later I received this email from her:

Rachel,
I bought it, started it, and I think I will finish it tonight!!! I think this might very well be my favorite book I have EVER read!!! I already went today and bought the next two so I can keep right on!!! THEN, I can't wait to see the movies!! THANK YOU!!!!!
D

Tonight, Miss D comes flying around the corner and yells my name, gives me a big hug and begs me to tell her what happens. She just finished Fire and Ice in Eclipse!! I can't believe she actually left at that point to come to school. I couldn't have done it.

Ahhhhh the thrill of introducing my love to another.

She then tells me of the most common problem a mother is plagued by when reading The Twilight Saga--


Our esteemed assistant principal (also a Twilight Fan) told her not to stress. She told her to go to Target and pick up some things to get her through the end.

I had to go buy socks for my son my first time through.
