You can see why you haven't heard from me....Thank you SO much, Kim, for mentioning these books! I was hooked from the beginning! Let's see, how to explain.

Thursday morning ~ I read one chapter before I went to work, but due to everyday-during-the-week life, I didn't pick the book up again. I had to be at work on Friday by 7 am, as we had a meeting. I didn't leave the office until 7 pm. I spent some time with the family, and then, from 9 to midnight, I worked some more from home.

My mind was keyed up, so by 12:30 am, I decided to pick up Twilight. Um, okay. Only problem with that idea was I didn't go to bed until after 5 in the morning. And, yes, I did finish Twilight.

I worked some more on Saturday. I finished around 3:30 pm, and, then, I dragged the girls to Target to pick up the other three books in the Twilight series. I got home around 4:30. I cut Syd's hair, and, then, I took the girls outside to play. Of course, I parked my rear on a lounge chair outside, and I began New Moon. By 11:30 pm, I finished New Moon. Did I mention that fact that I LOVED the books? I just couldn't get enough.

Sunday, well, I didn't do "anything" except read. I polished off Eclipse and began Breaking Dawn. Unfortunately, I didn't finish the last book before I went to bed.

I went to work today, and I have to admit (smile) that I couldn't wait to get home to finish the last 250 pages of my book. I was DYING to see how it would end. So, it's finished! And, no, I DO NOT skim read. In fact, I can probably tell you each story in detail. It's an uncanny thing I'm able to do....

Now, if Yvonne will get her bootie in gear and finish reading, then, we can chat. Oh, Kim! Thanks again! Got any other suggestions of what I need to read? Oh, I do have the Eragon Series. Just picked up the last book the other day. Yeah!! I think I'll wait for another weekend, though, as I didn't even clean anything this weekend :)

There would be one plus to being a vampire, though. I'd NEVER have to go to sleep! Could you imagine what I could get done?

I recently found this on a blog. It is too cute! You'll have to scroll down to my playlist and pause the music to watch this, but this is just too cute! It may have to be my favorite "commercial"!

Your Power Color Is Lime Green

At Your Highest: You are adventurous, witty, and a visionary. At Your Lowest: You feel misunderstood, like you don't fit in. In Love: You have a tough exterior but can be very dedicated. How You're Attractive: Your self-awareness and confidence lights up a room. Your Eternal Question: "What else do I need in my life?"

OK, I love the color red. Who would have thought I would be green? But then, again, isn't green a complimenting color of red? Well, I like green too! Especially, the outdoor kind of green, like grass and flowers. And, it makes a nice color backdrop in pictures!!

The family and I went to the beach this weekend. No pictures...well, a few of the surroundings, but not of my girls. Or the hubby. Only of the niece, who was pigging out on Cheetos and feeding them to the ugliest pidgeon I have ever seen! And, we had cable to watch at the hotel! Bo kept saying, "Can you fast forward this? I don't want to watch this!" "Can you rewind that? I want to see it again!" I had to keep explaining that you couldn't do that on this TV (for those of you who don't know, we don't have cable at home).

Anyways, we did happen to catch a music video on Disney. One with Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers. Bo LOVED it! She asked me, "Mommy, can I have a stage like that for my birthday?"

M: "We'll see."

Bo: "And, I need a white jacket. And a blue shirt. And white pants. And boots. So I can sing on stage."

Um, what 3-year-old, almost 4, asks for this?

Then, to top it off, Syd came down with some GI bug last night/early morning. Basically, you can say that I cleaned up vomit from like bedding, the sink, etc. Nasty! I did approximately 5 loads of laundry between 1 am and 5 am. Didn't go to work today, but I did work from home. Anyways, I digress. I have to go to Walmart this morning for some bland foods for the girl, and I happened to pick up Camp Rock for the girls.

I brought it home (and currently, we have watched it 3 times so far). Anyways, Bo is lying on the couch, when I heard her sigh.

M: "What's the matter, Bo?"

Bo: "I just can't wait until I go to Camp Rock!"

Future diva? I think so!
