Yvonne told me about the great wrapping paper at Hobby Lobby. She even posted a picture of what she bought. Needless to say, I think I got the better paper! I have to admit, I am NOT hoarding this paper. There are actually gifts underneath my Christmas tree wrapped in this gorgeous paper. AND, I bought curling ribbon to match. So, excited!

OK. It's true. I AM another year older. Probably another gray hair to add to the list. Hopefully, not another wrinkle.

I had a great day on Sunday. Scott remembered my birthday WITHOUT being reminded! He gave me a 1/2 dozen red roses, which I loved, and which promted some pictures of the girls (will post those later). He also got me a 1/4 sheet cake. Like that will really help the diet, or lack thereof. He and the girls gave me the cutest cards.

Um, and my friends....well, I spoke with Yvonne that morning, who did NOT remember my birthday. However, Stephanie called me around noon to wish me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Mind you, I even spoke with my little sister that morning, who did NOT remember my birthday. Yvonne eventually remembered later on that day, as did Kristy and all my sisters. My little year-and-a-half-old niece called to sing happy birthday to me in her little adorable voice!!

Two of my other girlfriends remembered yesterday...LOL! I can honestly say that it doesn't bother me one bit, because every year goes by and a lot of people forget my birthday. I think that because it's so close to Christmas, it takes a while for it to register.

I remember one year, my dad called me at work to wish me a happy birthday. My dad...who doesn't normally say HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Then, the next question out of his mouth was "And how old are you this year?" Hmmmm...um, I was the first child. And, he didn't remember. :D I can't say I remember how many years ago this occurred, but I remember that day. No one else remembered until around 8 o'clock that night!

Other than that, it was a great day! I stayed around the house for the most part. Finishing the Christmas tree. Cleaning. That is, until I had to go to Target to get more Christmas lights for the tree. So, add in, shopping for lights and a few teachers gifts. All in all, a very relaxing day. Top that off with a visit from my in-laws, which I am ALWAYS happy to see!

It was a nice day!

P.S. Promise....will post my Twilight review soon!

OK, my friends have all blogged about the movie. Me, I've been working. The good news is I am at the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, if I can get my house a little organized and that darned, stupid Christmas tree up, I will blog about the movie, as it will take too long (probably) in one sitting.

For those of you, who visit the blog and do not leave comments (so I don't really know who you are), you need to visit Stephanie's blog, Kristy's blog, and Yvonne's blog. Hmmm... You will definitely notice a theme. Heehee! Haahaa!

So, I leave you with: "Yes. No. To get to the other side. 1.77245..." and
"ARIZONA! How you likin da rain?"

(That was for you, girls, if you didn't figure that out.)

Well, at this time, all I will say is that I DID go see the movie. Since Yvonne and Bre were sick and were not able to go with us, I will not say if I loved the movie or if I was disappointed with the movie. I will NOT say anything, except that some really annoying little teenie boppers tried to butt in line after the group I went with waited in line for an hour and a half....hmmm. Other than that, I will not say anything more about the movie.

However, I did not say I was NOT going to talk about TWILIGHT! In the spirit of the obsession, I had a little free time Thursday night, so while Kristy and I counted down the hour, down to the last minute, and obviously, the last second.....I created a small little ATC card in honor of what my mother calls the "silliness". Do I really seem like I care? Um, no. I've always had a tendency to become engrossed in whatever I do, be it work, collecting figurines (which I have since gotten rid of), hoarding scrapbooking supplies, etc. etc. So, I figure my twilight obsession could be chalked up to my OCD, which I now like to call my "obsessive Cullen disorder" (for those of you who don't know, the Cullens are the good vampire family in the books). And for those of you wondering, NO. The little picture and the words on the card are NOT crooked. It is the stupid scanner, and I have tried to fix it to no avail. So, my OCD is fine, since this is only a scan, and I can deal with it. It is OK....(breathing)....



And, now, I feel like the after-Christmas let down. You get so excited about something (and, yes, in this case, it was the premier of Twilight) that for weeks, you are on like this euphoric high. Only to have that specific day come and go, and now I feel like how am I ever going to go on with my life post-Twilight? (Oh, come on girls, you know how I feel!!)

So, to Bre and Yvonne, GET BETTER SOON!

I cannot stand it! It's almost here! In just a few hours, Twilight will be officially released!

Kristy's got our tickets. Stephanie is almost finished with Breaking Dawn. I've got my Twilight T-shirt and my bracelet. My amber-colored contacts should be here by tomorrow (keep your fingers crossed). Now, all Yvonne and Breanna have to do is GET BETTER! What a rotten time to get sick ~ the few days prior to the release of TWILIGHT!! Woohoo!!

I swear, I'm going to yell and scream at the opening credits! I'm just not going to be able to stand it! Thank goodness it's almost here!

And, officially today, Rob Pattison confirmed that he will be New Moon and Eclipse (when he signed onto Twilight, he thought it was a trilogy. Silly boy!) What more could a girl ask for?

I can hardly stand it! Less than 4 days left....

It's what I've been waiting for....

TWILIGHT!

AHHHHHH!!

I swear, I could just talk about Twilight ALL DAY long!! It's great to have friends who are SO anticipating this movie along with me. At least, I know I'm not the only crazy one. I feel like I'm about 16 again.....waiting for this movie to come out!

And guess what? Summit Entertainment has purchased the rights on the other three books. AND..... Look for New Moon to be released in 2010!! Yep, you read it right!! I wish it was like ready NEXT week! (I know, I'm dreaming....).

Gotta go get me some vampire teeth. And, yes, I still need to get my T-shirt....Ahhhh! Can't wait!!

Just HAD to have this! I SO totally LOVE it! It's classy, and when I'm wearing it, you can't really tell what it says. Only a true twilighter can appreciate this. So, Kristy! Look what I got! Ha! Ha!!
