Anticipation

November 21st is fast approaching and I am anxiously anticipating seeing TWILIGHT come to life on the big screen!! My boss at work just came back from lunch and handed me THE COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED TWILIGHT MOVIE COMPANION!

This magazine-size book is SO cool!! It shows pictures from the scenes of the movie, how they got the shots, and everything in between! I can't wait to put my papaya's up on the couch and read my TWILIGHT MOVIE COMPANION!! Yes, I still need to finish Breaking Dawn, but I will do that in due time before next Friday.

Speaking of next Friday, November 21st... I just purchased 4 Adult tickets on Fandango for the 7:30pm showing of TWILIGHT. Me, my mother-in-law Donna, my sister-in-law Debbie, and my friend Nikki are so excited to see the movie! I wanted to be sure we had tickets secured since this movie is highly anticipated by folks in ages from 12 - 73. Thank you, Fandango, for securing our tickets! I think we will arrive at the theater an hour early to ensure we can pick up our tickets at the box office, buy some popcorn and drinks, and get comfortably seated to prepare to meet our favorite vampires!

What I never anticipated....

I've never been a big book reader. In fact, I have a picture of me reading a book as a kid... I'm sleeping with the book open next to me. What I never anticipated is that I would be so excited for a new book release, or that I'd have a favorite author!

This all started when I was off last winter with nothing else better to do that was quiet while my working hubby worked 2nd shift. My friend Jamie and my sister were both reading the same book, and while I waited at Barnes & Noble for my automatic car starter to be installed on my truck next door at American, I glanced across the table and saw the book... Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer. I picked up a copy, sat down on the comfy chairs, and opened it up. Five chapters in and my phone rings... "Ma'am, your vehicle is ready" said the service man. (by the way, I hate being called Ma'am.) As I stumbled up reading the last paragraph of the chapter, I gathered my things and headed to the checkout to buy the book!! I had to, I was into it and I had to know what was going to happen.

Three books later, about 1500 pages, I am now anticipating the release of Breaking Dawn, by Stephanie Meyer. What is it about these books that intrigued me and roped me in so? Not only are the books easy to read (for a non-reader), but the way the author writes is so relatable. The story is also totally a fantasy world much like Harry Potter, who's movies I enjoyed. The big new release happens tonight at mid-night. While I won't be at the store at mid-night, I will get up and go straight there tomorrow morning to get my copy!

My sister and I will, no doubt, have a reading-a-thon to get farther than the other, and know what is going to happen to Bella and her prince charming, Edward. I'm sure it will be all the talk between Jamie and I, aside from the growing babies in our bellies. Good thing I don't have any PC shows lined up for next week...I plan on coming home after having picked up Theo from Grandma and Grandpa's house everyday, plopping my butt on the couch and reading! Oh, and I'll have to eat dinner in there somewhere, too. Can I cook and read at the same time? I don't know, we will find out!!
