Teenage Wasteland - Vampire Style

I have been meaning to write about this for a bit, but finally got a glimpse of the trailer for the movie and was reminded that I wanted to mention it... really starting to think I have adult ADD.

Anywho, there is this series of teen books by Stephenie Meyer, they are about vampires - actually the story of a teenage vampire named Edward who falls in love with a human, Bella.

I know you are asking yourself why would I ever read about teenage vampires? Well, because they are really, really good.

The series includes:
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn (Aug '08)

I was skeptical when I picked them up at the library. As usual I had reserved the first book and forgot about it. I really didn't think I would be interested in a teen novel, but thought I would give it a go and could not stop, I think I read all three of the books in about a week.

Check out the trailer, the movie comes out in December and I will drag Shelly along with me I know she will like it, just like Outlander. That is a whole 'nother story in itself. Can you say kilt?

You are my her-roo Nik - I haven't even made it to the Fiery Cross.

Oh my gosh Susan! Nancy totally hooked me on these and I just wrote about them yesterday on that other blog you never go to!! Too funny!!! I was going to call you and ask you if you'd read. These things are sooooo addictive. I'm not allowing myself to buy book 3 for 2 more days because once I buy it, I will ignore everything in my life. I'll probably hide in the bathroom stall at work to read it.

Carey, these books are in no way scary, they're amazing.

Susan, again with the embedding video thing. Can your geeky work friends help me??

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory. I had been trying to continue playing with the plantar fasciitis guess I figured it was going to be around for awhile so might as well deal with it. This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma...

Tightrope walking on a string

This has been one of "those" weeks where I often find myself scared to slow down and assess the situation because when I do I start to get this really tight feeling in my chest and I feel nauseous. Does anyone else get that? When life is going mach 10 with your hair on fire...and if you stop you just might fall right over from that string you are balancing everything on... I am going to bed.
