I was a Twilighter at Midnighter

I was one of the many who went to the midnight premier of Twilight.

I liked the movie for what it was, and I didn't like it for what it left out.

I went to the movie, hoping for nothing. It is a movie. I know what movies do to good books, Anne of Green Gables, Where the Heart Is, House of Sand and Fog, White Oleander, A Walk to Remember, The Kite Runner, to name a few I have seen....the story is abbreviated and diced up a bit to fit the typical two hour time period that one can stand to sit (with the exception of movies like Anne of Green Gables, but even then the whole story is not shared)...

but Twilight...

It was a weird fast forward version of the book, that left details out that one would think were vital to character development....

I am glad that I read the book before I saw the movie. IF I had choose to wait, then I would be so confused on how and why Bella and Edward were together so fast, how she could figure out, cope with and start to trust a vampire so quickly. I know that once Bella figured it out that Edward was what he was, it didn't take her much time.....but still it seemed almost the same day she was in the meadow with him staring at his sparkly skin.....and the hotel scene, when she escaped into the trap....we didn't get to know Jasper and his talent, which was the reason she could stay a bit calm....blah blah.

I liked the movie, only because I read the book. Had I not read the book I would have been horribly disappointed....

I am almost amazed at the fact that Stephenie Meyer approved this cliff noted version of her well written book.

Que-Sera.

Tears and Fears

It must almost be ready for my monthly visit from aunt flow....because here is a list of things that either made me cry, or made me close to it....but most did make me cry.
In almost chronological order.....

Waking up to the pain of the boil on my a$$ bottom. This makes for only the millionth one I have had in my life, but they still hurt.

Having Jason so sweetly smooch on my neck, which sounds sweet and endearing, when it fact it annoys me and gives me the goose bumps, and I hate it.

Coughing so hard that I actually get sick in the bathroom before lunch.

Having the enterprise rent a car people try to make me pay for three days of car rental when state farm was supposed to be paying for it. (Needless to say, I was frustrated, irritated, but didn't pay....I had to call state farm for them)

Feeling rushed and stressed trying to get the kids home in time to go with their mom, and not wanting to be late.

Finding out that I had to go to my mom's. Not because I didn't want to go, but because I thought it was going to be a quite night at home.

Finding out that my family thanksgiving is on the 22nd and not the 29th like I thought.

Realizing that money is real tight, and not sure where I was going to get the stuff I was in charge of brining to the familly dinner

Realizing I had less that 24 hours to purchase, prepare said stuff.

Hating the new puppy we got and how he is making my house smell like dog pee and poop, no matter how I punish him, clean up after him, and attempt to maintain (proper blog introductions will happen when I have enough love for it to talk about nice things.)

Comprehending that the holiday season isn't going to be as smooth as once figured, because Jason quit his job because his boss was a jerk. Now Jason is working with his dad in the core business, and not making the money he was (No worries for you, Jason isn't the bum it sounds like...he has another job starting soon, it is dealing with all the security and paperwork that is holding him up.....)

Realizing I don't get to go black friday shopping like I was plainning on doing.

Seeing cute wrapping paper today and not buying it. Dang priorities.

Running over a cardboard box, and after hearing it pop under the tire, Jason jokes that it was a sweet baby....most times I would laugh, not today....my heart sunk, and for a split second I considered the thought it was a baby, it took my breath away.

Watching Supernanny about a widowed mom with two little babies.

Coughing.

Not getting any mail (we are expecting a check in the mail)

Having to purchase a tire for my car, because the low tire wasn't fixable....did I mention money is tight?

Thinking about Thanksgiving

Thinking about how busy I will be when I wake up, and thinking I should be in bed.

Aaron coming home with almost all C's on his report card, even though we have worked really hard on homework and attitudes.

Jason not helping me bring in or put away the groceries I purchased by myself.

Not being in bed.

Okay I am going to bed, I am sure to cry myself to sleep. I might cry about my hormonal tears, it seems only right.

This is what I want Santa to bring me.

Also while at my aunts house, I got to play with her Cri-cut machine. It is a scrapbookers heaven. I went and bought some scrapbook paper that I can just doodle with on the machine, I had lots of fun, but had a big mess to clean up as well.

Thats what I want for Christmas Santa!

Nobody puts baby in the corner.

When I was at my aunts house this past weekend, I felt much like Johnny (Patrick Swazy) did when he saw Baby (Jennifer Gray) in the corner at the Kellerman's end of season revue. You know, the complete shock and horror of seeing someone you love being hid away.... well that is how I felt when I saw this ...

I just wanted to say "Nobody puts the kitchen-aide in a cabinet above the fridge" sheesh, and to think I could have used it for the pound cake I made.

Love you anyways Denice! :0)

Out of Whack

My natural hormones may be out of whack. (And no I am not preggo)

I seem to be hitting early menopause. You may laugh at me and say I am only 28 years old. But all day long I am battling hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain (I would like to blame it on something, but I have been this fat for the past few years, so it is not a sudden gain) and mood swings and last but not least...irritability. Okay so it isn't exactly menopause, and I might just be about to start my monthly visit from Aunt Flow....but still..I am a little out of whack, so.....I have come to the conclusion that I may need bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. What is that you ask....because I did. And why do I think I need it, you wonder....because I did.
Well here is the low down..

This big named thing is basically a hormone replacement therapy, that creates same-as-human hormones to be integrated into your body to help reduce the symptoms and end the suffering of menopause and andropause (andropause ladies..is the MALE version of menopause..yes you read right....we all knew they were hormonal too)
That is what it is, and I have decided that I need it because I get too irritable and grumpy and if I nip it in the bud now, when it comes time to be stripped of my visitation rights from my Aunty Flow, I will be ahead of my game. That's right ladies, I am preplanning my menopause. I have told you I wanted to be ocd...why not start over planning.
(seriously check it out, it is pretty cool.)

Huz-what?

Did you know that reading other peoples blogs could teach you something....who would have guessed??

Here is the lesson I have learned...

I have seen the word huzzah here and here and here and here

I read it with a faux understanding. And honestly I thought the first person who I had read it from...I thought she made it up.
Today was the final straw...I utilized the world wide web, and found dictionary.com, and found this definition.

With all that, I may just stick with YAY! Sounds better to me.
