Raise your babies right.

Let me introduce you to Baby Max. Don't you want to just blow on that belly!!

Max is B2's little nephew. His mommy is (of course) a Twilight fan. (I really don't talk to people who aren't any more.) (Ok- except my dear hubs. I talk to him- oh- and my mom.)

Anyhoo- Max's mom found these cute little Twilight baby accessories on Cafe Press. I want to buy them, but my baby is 2 1/2 and diapers are on the way out.

Cafe Press and Etsy are 2 sites that have great Twilight merchandise.

When Max was still cooking I gave his mommy this bib.

So name your baby Edward, Jasper, Bella or Alice and buy him or her their first Twilight fan clothes. Raise those babies right!!!

Question #21-

Jasper took on Rosalie's last name, Hale, for appearance sake.

What is his birth name?

What was his career before he was changed?

Who changed him?

What is his power?

What is my kitten's name?

The Runaways

Kristen Stewart is going to be on The Runaways soundtrack!! How freaking cool is that?
I am excited to see the movie. I think she rocks as Joan Jett!






Question #20

Who kills the newborn vampire Bree?

My kind of heroin and the missing question

I have been so bad about updating my other blog, Serious Fiction Addiction, so today I thought I would write a post that I could place on both pages.

I have complained before about my mountain of laundry. Nothing has changed

Not mine, but it could end up like that if I don't learn to prioritize.

Do you see the baby? I could almost lose one of mine in the piles.

Lately I have become so engrossed in the world of Fan Fiction. Really engrossed. In between reading and writing my own (at the expense of writing that I could profit from.), I have just enough time to take care of the kids and semi-clean the house up.

I don't want to be the only one with this problem, so I am distributing my crack. My thoughts are in pink. Click on the pictures or titles for links and as ever please tell me what you think or send me some that you love that aren't on my list.

By pretending she is falling for Edward, Bella is fulfilling Esme’s dying wish. But sexy, possessive Edward can read her mind. Will she ever get into his? Can Bella forget the pain of her teenage years, and can she resist his relentless seduction?

This is a heart-wrenching story. I love The Black Arrow's tortured Edward. The parallel of Twilight, in him wanting something he can't have, is strong in this story. Bella starts as a kind of victim, but is gaining strength and learning what kind of power she has over Edward. My only complaint with this story is that the author takes a long time to update. Her writing is worth the wait though.

Critics hailed Edward Cullen’s novels as “masterful” and "brimstone beauty"--a genius of our time. Eh. I gave him my heart when I was four…and still, he left me for his stupid vampire books. Now he's an NYC elite...and I have extreme sports in Forks, WA.

Bella and Edward are childhood sweethearts, who marry following high school. An irrational decision tears them apart. Edward uses their childhood games and Bella herself as inspiration for his wildly popular novels. He comes home for his sister's wedding and Bella is forced to face him. This story has it all; angst, laughter, tears and twists and turns that will keep you reading all hours of the night.

Emancipation Proclamation by kharizzmatik

The tale of a Principe Della Mafia and his Bella Ragazza, two souls connected in a world full of chaos. Quella destinata per te, nessuno la prenderà. True Love Waits. Sempre.

Wow! This story is amazing.(I think that a lot.) This is about the Cullen family. A family with close ties to the mafia. It also deals with issues of human slavery. Bella is a slave purchased by Carlisle. That description does not even scratch the surface of what this story is about, but I just don't want to say more. All I can say is read this one fast!! The author updates often and the really good stuff is coming now!! (68 chapters)

The Misapprehension of Bella Swan by hunterhunting

The Misapprehension of Bella Swan Regarding the Inferior Intellect of Hockey Players: Through incessant stalking and persistence, can Edward wear down Bella's resistance and teach her to embrace her inner puck bunny? A ridiculous love story.

This story is a baby, only 4 chapters. Hunterhunting is the great author of Clipped Wings and Inked Armor.(hope you have read this. it is now on Twilighted) Her new story is nothing like CW&IA, it is funny and the characters are hilarious. Bella has a mouth that runs on over greased wheels and Edward is so taken with her. Edward is a hockey player with a large-um-um-(I'll just say it) XXL appendage. This right there is a source of laughter. It is funny, so funny and so hot!! HH updates every Wednesday. I love that little hump-day gem in my mail box.

Edward is a single dad to Lily. During a grocery trip, she is taken by James, who thinks she is his daughter. Bella is at the same store and is taken as well, because he believes she is his wife.

This is a well- written story about Bella Swan, a popular author, who is taken hostage along with a small child by a sadistic James, who thinks they are his wife and child. This story has some scenes of violence, but none that are too graphic or over the top. Isakasses updates weekly.

Expections and Other Moving Pieces by chrometurtle

Everything I had done in my life seemed to lead up to this moment. The moment when I found myself bound inextricably to a man I didn’t love, trapped in a life I didn’t want. And if I left him, I would be entirely alone.

26 Chapters in and the reason for their estrangement is still not clear. I can tell you this- You will love this story and hope and pray it all works out for the characters that are destined to be together.

Wicked Angel by Devilishpleasures

I am Edward Cullen and I have a deadly secret: I am a hit man. My new target: Isabella Newton. With the help of my friends, we plan the crime of the century. What the hell am I going to do when she becomes more than my target and becomes my life...?

This is such a cool story. It is a collaboration piece between 6 talented fan fiction authors. Edward is the coroner and a hit-man for hire. His newest job is Bella Newton, who's a**hole husband is a cheater. I am loving this story and can't wait for a new chapter!

Tropic of Virgo by in.a.blue.bathrobe

He's a young but jaded musician writing lyrics for his band, and she's a naive, frustrated poet looking to break out of her shell; their words collide online. What happens when they meet in high school, unaware of their literary connection?

Ok, Edward and his family have a band with great lyrics, but a missing piece. Bella is a talented singer with stage fright. This completed story is so good and a great one to sit down and read uninterrupted. Their emails are amazing.

Your True Colors by Notwhatyouthink

Annie is a single woman, fetching, lucky and mildly obsessed with Twilight. She doesn't miss a thing in her life. Until one day she sees her own personal Edward. Her fantasy starts running wild about a beautiful boy, way too young to even think about it

I have reviewed this before, but I love it and it is always worth repeating my recommendations. This story is sexy and full of mystery. NWYT's pictures are almost worth a thousand words.

Silver Strand Nights by Greeneyedgirl117

Bella Swan is tired of her boring life and ready for a change. When former Navy SEAL Edward Cullen enters her life, everything will change, more than she ever expected.

How hot can a Navy Seal be? Lavahot- I tell you! Bella is shy and bored with life, add a spicy SEAL and the beach and really, can you lose? It's a baby, but so good so far!!

So, there is it. I have about 200 more on a list to read and get more recommendations everyday.

Enjoy and the go and reread The Twilight Saga. It's the best of the bunch (unless you miss the smut- then read the fan fic)

Now for question #19

Bella hates receiving gifts from Edward- I can name 5 gifts that he gave her. Can you?

What are 5 gifts that Edward gave Bella? (1 point per correct answer)

I recycled this post. Thought it was worth repeating.

I admit I am a curious girl. I may even be nosy. I like too much information. That's just me. Ever since the first time I read Twilight I have been insanely curious about how Edward could handle it when Bella was on her period. I know, I know, gross question, but I haven't been able to get it out of my head. Did the smell of blood drive him crazy?

Well, I found the answer. I am not going to say where right now for the sake of my contest, but never say I don't produce.


Answer: Yes, a little bit, but he would never say anything about it–much too much of a gentleman. And Bella would be way to embarrassed to ask. (It’s not the same as a cut, though. It’s sort of "dead" blood, if you get my meaning).


Question #18

Why didn't Renee come to Bella's graduation?

The Yellow Hankie thing

Movie Trailers - Movies Blog

The chatter about Kristen Stewart lately has been mostly about her film The Yellow Hankerchief. This movie was filmed in 2008. I am not sure why it was not released earlier than this, but I assume the release has something to do with Kristen Stewart's draw right now. I could be wrong. I could also look it up a bit more and find out why, but I have had 7 kids today and am frankly exhausted, mentally and physically.

Here is the plot synapisis from IMDB.com:

One lazy afternoon in a backwater Louisiana town, Martine takes a leap into an unfamiliar convertible. The driver, Gordy, an awkward young itinerant who eyed her in the diner earlier, isn't displeased to find this pretty sylph in his front seat. Soon they meet Brett, a laconic, humble man just released from prison. Martine isn't keen on going solo with Gordy, and now it's raining cats and dogs, so she invites Brett along, and the unlikely trio sets out, each person unsure of the destination. What ensues is a journey through the lush green byways of rural Louisiana and into the depths of these characters' souls.

So far I think the reviews are positive. I may go see it if it's available. I am going to see New Moon again in the theatre on base with MrsMe. Can't beat a $4 movie!!

Question #17

Why is Billy in a wheelchair?

(This is not in the books, but if you read the rules it will tell you the possible places to find it. If you need help I will give a hint on Facebook if you ask me.)

Sexy hair and morning breath

I wish I had a picture to go with this post, but I don't. In fact if I had taken a picture I probably would have gotten smacked.

I came downstairs to make breakfast for my hyenas and in the 10 minutes that had elapsed since they left my side upstairs, they had driven my husband to try and pull his hair out. They seem to be very good at this. I am sure they could teach your children the art of driving you crazy in less than 10 minutes if you would like.

After calming the storm, I sent the Hubs out for a cigarette in hopes of calming him, when he came in I had effectively silenced the din with pancakes, bacon and eggs. I looked at him- really saw him for the first time that morning and his hair was standing up in a very disheveled way. Not remembering the fact that he had already been driven close to the edge, I asked him if he was trying to turn me on with his "Edward" hair.



Edward Hair

This question earned me a death stare. He brushed past my laughing face and kind of stomped out of the room.

10 minutes later he came down with perfectly coiffed and flat hair.

Question #16

During the battle scene in Eclipse, Who was wounded and how? Be specific.

A Charlie ?

I am so thrilled at everyone who is participating in my little game. It is so great to see the comments!! I love it that some of you just know the answers and some of you take the time to pick up your books or watch the movie to find the answers. I love you all hard!!

The answer to the last question could be found in Midnight Sun. Midnight Sun gave me just enough knowledge of who Edward thinks and why he does things. I was able to use this perspective through all of the books. I hope you have read it. I would love her to complete it, but honestly I really hope for a 5th book or a sequel to The Host.

The answer to the question was Alonzo Calderas Wallace or Lonnie.

Here is another Midnight Sun question.

#15
Edward cannot "hear" Bella's mind. Can he hear Charlie's?

Bonus Question (#14)

I just have nothing tonight, my lovely friends-- But I do have a 10 point bonus question!!!! Anyone who answers it correctly get the points!!

Are you ready!!


What is the name of Bella's would be rapist from the night Edward saved her in Port Angeles?

Remember Me Video

So this is not about Twilight, but I just love Rob!! This video is a short behind the scenes look at Remember Me. The movie premieres on March 13 and did you hear??? Eclipse trailer in the previews finally!!!!!!




I love accents!! I love Rob!! Oops- I said that already!!

Question #13

Who is Sam Uley's high school sweetheart?

Answer #13
Leah Clearwater

C Rachel enjoy C Jane

I have enjoy reading many different blogs and I decided today to tell you about one of the non-Twilight related blogs that I read everyday- C Jane Enjoy it.

C Jane is a witty stay at home mom that has a certain "spice" in her life. Her blog was originally started to chronicle her adventures in infertility. She is a wonderful writer and her snarkiness amuses me. I almost always leave her site with a smile or a wet chest.(from having spewed my drink all over myself in hysterical laughter.) She posted an article that I had to share. Go check her out here-

Customer Service by C Jane

I am not really sure why I am writing this post.

Maybe as written proof I am going both blind and crazy?

Maybe to come to terms with losing some key elements of my existence?

A cry for help?

I don't know. What I do know is this:

I was at a store the day before Valentine's day. It was the type of store where one would shop for family-friendly Valentine gifts like balloons, candy and heart-felt cheese. I had ordered a specialized gift and knew I'd need help in picking it up. When I walked into the store I saw two young teenage girls working the cash registers and a boy of similar age in the back of the store behind an order counter. And the place was packed with patrons all hopped up on helium-filled, heart-shaped latex.

I thought about perhaps asking the boy in the back for assistance, but from my point of view he looked sort of sullen and depressed. I couldn't exactly see his face, but I decided against approaching him when I noticed he was just sitting there squinting at me from behind the counter. Instead, I started to wait in line knowing it would probably prove fruitless because the girls were too busy punching numbers and running credit cards to go check on my waiting order in the recesses of the store.

But after standing in line for a trickle of minutes with a full bladder and two waiting boys in the car, I became impatient. So impatient I thought, Alright, I am going to go ask cheerless crab for help. Which is when an angelic-looking woman in a particularly delightful periwinkle sweater asked me if I needed anything.(Sometimes being pregnant all over works to your advantage, you see.)And I said, "Oh yes. My name is Courtney and I have an order . . ."But before I could finish her eyes enlarged and she blurted out, "Oh right! Yes! Follow me please!" and she headed towards the back of the store.Towards--you know--him. And just as she disappeared behind the order counter with me close behind, I came face-to-face with the creepy employee.

It was a cut-out of Edward Cullen.

I have an Edward cutout and I will say that he can be particularly frightening when he sneaks up on me, from his perch in my living room, where he has stood since September. (I should be used to his presence by now, don't ya think?)

I just had to laugh at how everything in my life can somehow be brought back to Twilight, even a blog from a lady who write about the mundane things in life and makes it sound so fun!!

Thank you for my laugh C Jane. I love your blog!!

Question #12-

What are Jacob's sister's names? And How did his mother die?

Jacob's sisters are Rachel and Rebecca. His mother, Sarah, was killed in a car accident.
