Sweetest Day & Butt Heaven!!

| By | Filed Under: family, scrappy, twilight | Leave a Comment

Today is Sweeties day here in the states…or here in Michigan anyway, I don’t know if it’s a nationwide holiday or not. For sweeties day, the hubbs got me a new computer chair…and let me tell you…it’s butt heaven!!

He got it at Office Depot and he really went shopping for it with my list of “needs”. We bought one at Target last night and I put it together and really didn’t like it…so we returned it and he went on the hunt for the perfect chair…and he found it too!! It’s really lovely…butt heaven! lol

I finished New Moon and will start Eclipse on Monday. I could easily start it today, but I can’t do anything else while I listen at home so I need to wait if I want to get things done LOL Funny, I have little problem listening at work…but my job is repetitious and I could do it in my sleep.

I listened a little last night and ended up falling asleep with it on…I woke up at like 3am and turned it off. Then I had to turn it back to when I remembered it last and lost like a whole hour. It’s ok though, I needed to go back to get the gist of the story.

I have about 5 gazillion scrappy kits to sort through and move to their proper home on my external drive. I’ve been putting it off because it’s time consuming and annoying lol But in a minute I’ll have to start unzipping them elsewhere!! LOL

I finally go around to making a scrappy page with some of the pictures from my sister’s wedding earlier this month.

Credits:
*will add later*

This page took me a long time…I was so undecided as to what to put on there. My sister is not traditional in the least and as you can see, neither was the wedding! It was a good time though and they are really happy and I’m happy for them both!

The journaling was part of their vows. I will make other pages using other parts of their vows as well as more/different pictures. I have a few pages in mind.

Anyways…it took me WAY too long to make the page, way too long to get photoshop to cooperate and let me shrink the jpg and I’m about to go watch a moovie with the hubs. Hopefully we can agree on something…we never do with movies though! LOL

I Am Giving In…New Moon

| By | Filed Under: twilight | Leave a Comment

Well, I got to the 2nd half of New Moon at work today…still excellent.

I am sitting here with my earbuds in my ears, iPod at the ready to go lay in my room and listen to some more of this book before I go to bed tonight.

I swear, if I had the paper version, I’d be finished by now….well maybe not, but I wouldn’t sleep until I was.

I have 5 1/2 hours left of this audiobook and then it’s on to the next. I know I won’t finish it tonight…but maybe tomorrow and this weekend?? LOL

Then you know what will happen, I’ll be done with the books and be mad because I miss the story and be waiting patiently for the next one to come out. Just like with Harry Potter…each book left me feeling empty with no closure and longing for the next book to continue the story.

*sigh* I can’t help but want to rush though it…but I know the faster I listen, the sooner it will be over. I guess I could listen to them all over again…ask me how many times I’ve listened to Harry Potter books on audio. LOL A few of them I never actually “read”.

Ok…off to medicate the pup and then back to Jacob and Bella…oh and this mysterious voice of Edward. I wish he’d show his face in this book again already!!!

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.
