Busy Day Ahead

Yes, me teacher turned counselor with this long summer looming ahead, has a full day ahead of her.


I'm going to lunch at Chuy's with two of my best girlfriends. (Shout out to Leslie and Kara!) Then, we are going to sit in the a.c. and watch movies. Oh I also made blonde brownies last night for a snack. What movies, you ask?

Well....I am the most behind person in the world. I have never seen the Twilight movies. Why? Because they look terrible.....

Now I love the Twilight saga. I did the old fashion thing to obtain this opinion....I read! I very hesitantly took Leslie's recommendation last year and picked up Twilight. "Les, I hate sci-fi/fantasy. I don't want to read about vampires sucking blood. I'm not going to read it." She told me that you soon forget it's about vampires. Well then why read it? It's like the whole "it tastes like chiken." Why wouldn't I just eat chicken then? Anyways, we have very similar reading tastes, so I humored her.

And.....I am on Team Edward to this very day!!! I pretty much "devoured" (hehe) Twilight and New Moon. Then Eclipse was my favorite of the whole saga. Breaking Dawn (the 4th) was just plain weird. Everyone can make it to book 3. Book 4, come on Stephenie Meyer, this is just too weird. I tried to explain to Randy what was happening. He gave me the "I married such a weirdo look." Warning: Don't explain the plot out loud. People will stare.


So Leslie has insisted Kara and I see the movies. I have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I heard the first one was terrible with a capital T. That's why we're watching Twilight and New Moon back-to-back. I never really like movies that are based on books. The books are way better.

And why on earth does Edward look as white as the guy in that old 90's movie "Powder?" Oh well, this will keep me busy for FOUR hours. Whoo hoo!!! I'll let you know how it goes. Who knows, I might like the first two enough to go see Eclipse, maybe even in Imax where things jump out at you. Because who wouldn't want Taylor Lockner jumping out at you? Seriously!
