Another "Twilight" Moment----

I just can NOT get past how much I love this series ---......... I've watched the movie 12x within a month LOL and read through the entire series....... I am totally, head over heels, "in love" with the characters.......

I don't think I've enjoyed a book (or series) as much as this since Harry Potter...... (Yeah I was and still am a Potter NUT) These books just totally captivate your soul....... Like (potter) they take you to a vivid space within your mind and your imagination goes into overtime.......

I know with alot of movies (once I've read the book) the movie NEVER lives up to what I have created in my mind....... (The Stand / Steven King) was DEFINITLY that way........ But....... with Twilight (because I had seen the movie FIRST) it helped me to shape the images in my mind....... Edward's EYES were already *burned* into my soul.......... Bella's sweet spirit danced in my head while I read through the pages............ By the time I flashed through the last book (Breaking Dawn) I felt like a crack addict searching for a "fix"........

Happily....... I got that fix....... with a BEAUTIFUL ending.......

Now it's your turn....... :)

~Meet Joe Taylor~

Ok..... So most of you know that I am BEYOND picky about the music I listen to.... And RARELY do I find an artist that I actually like both the lyrics AND their voice / tone.......

I've found that in Joe Taylor............ I think I might have blogged about him before but guys, he's absolutely one of the most talented artists I've heard in a LONG time............

I hear a lil Steve Perry in there...... But more importantly ........ I *hear* an old sensitive soul in his lyrics and he sings with a passion.............. Something MOST bands know NOTHING about....

Rob and Chrissy I EXPECT you to go see him play... He does alot of shows in NY.......

My personal favorites of his are "Save Me" and "Life"

You can check them out on his website at http://www.joetaylorofficial.com/

Hic-cup

Here's the "offical" kiddo pick for 2008 I had a good friend of mine do a photo shoot with them back in the fall and this was just too adorable sooooooooo there ya go....... no more yelling at me about new pics of the kids!

Anything I say from here on in can be considered ramblings and when I read this tomorrow night I'll probably slap myself in the head a few times for doing this........ :P (Sorry it's a Vodka evening and until 4th quarter is over expect one of these a week!!!!!)

Gripe Time................

First..... WHY the hell does Gloria Allred wear pink eyeshadow? Wait...... why does ANYONE wear pink eyeshadow..... It's almost as offensive to me as the damn 70's blue eyeshadow...... I don't get it...... it's NOT *pretty* ladies please please please......... cease and desist from that shit.......

Second gripe for the night....... Why does my boss call me 50x a day...... to tell me the same thing over and over AND over again........ Can someone please disconnect his damn phone? Seriously I am going to start forwarding my phone to a Dr. Phil hotline..........

Third gripe....... Hell I can't remember it must not have been that important.......... and I think I am finally tired enough to go to bed.... So I guess you all won't have to put up with my rants tonight :P

***Twilight***

I watched a new release on my favorite website today........ ((NO NOT YOUTUBE!) LoL...... The name of the movie was ................ "Twilight"......... and I gotta tell ya guys....... I can NOT remember liking a movie THIS much......... I was *hooked* after the first 2 minutes and I couldn't peel myself away from the screen.....

The *passion* that was in this movie was just INCREDIBLE....... and before you twits accuse me of watching porn........ NOT even close....... This movie was just "ME"....... 100% ME.......

:Sigh: I think this will be the FIRST DVD that I've added to my collection in a long time......... (that is when it comes out on DVD) LoL

Til then........ If you have hi-speed and wanna watch it........ go to http://www.watchtvsitcoms.com/ DO NOT DOWNLOAD Zango or whatever the pop up is that they ask u to........ Just click "Movies" and it's on the list of new releases...........

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poor Poor Sparky......

I l.o.v.e Beta's....... If you have never owned one they are a MUST..... The kiddos and I have always had atleast one in the house and they tend to live for us for 3 to 4 years..........

Well, when our last one "passed away" I decided it was time to take a break........ That is until Miss Chloey saw one at WallyWorld and went nutso..... I went ahead and bought it for her and we've had "Sparky" for about a year and a half now........ (then came the other 3 but we won't talk about those) :P

"Sparky" has been having difficulties getting to the top of the tank lately, and when he does he sinks quickly to the bottom and just "lays" there....... Well after about a week of me bringing him up to the top with the net so he can get air and feeding him...... I decide ENOUGH is enough this poor fish is suffering..... (what kind of loon am I?) LOL

Anyway, off to the pet store I go...... (Did ya know they actually sell MEDICINE for fish?) I guess there are more loons just like me out there :P

I buy it...... Come home..... and ......... Nuffin..... Sparky won't even "think" about it......

So, tonight I decide to google "Beta Sinks" just to see if anyone else has ever had problems with their beta and what they did..... Those are really his only symptoms.... HE SINKS.......

Sooooooooooooooooo guess what pops up?

The damn fish is constipated........ I shit u not.... (no pun intended)

Sooooo now I'm on my way back upstairs to try to get him to eat a PEA..... (that's the flipping cure) Can I have my 20 bucks back for the fish medicine? AND if that doesn't work..... I get to give him an epson salts bath........

Fish Constiflippingpation........ Who would have thunk it........

Letting Go......

I ran into my "dad" a couple of weeks ago while I was working, & although I've tried to stifle the emotions it's renewed ...... I'm having a really hard time "letting it go".....

I think the thing that bothers me the most is I really thought I was done being angry at this man..... I had made the decision to put it behind me, and put him out of my head....... That seemed to last a few years..... ((And believe me THAT was hard to do........ I look in the mirror and I see his eyes.... (mine)

So although the negativity was......."put away"...... I have a daily reminder of "where" I come from......... every time I look at me...... And..... maybe, just maybe that is why I *hate* looking at pictures of myself......

I won't open myself up to him, and allow him to hurt my children the way he has me........ But I have made the decision to break this evil / vicious cycle and let the "hate" go......

I don't know how I am going to do it.......... but......... somehow I have to get enough courage to walk up to him and let him know that I forgive him.......... and.......... if and when he needs me I'll be there for him .......

I suppose in alot of ways I'm being selfish because I'm really not doing this for him....... I'm doing it for *me* and to *prove* to me that although I have his genetics...... I am not him...... and I've chosen a very different path than he took.....

Happy Birthday "Dad"......... I've always thought of you on this day, and I probably will continue until the day I die........ I wish things could have been different.......and I wish just once...... I could have heard you say I love you..........

Just a real quick......blog.....

This day can't end soon enough so I am going to bed early! :P

Tyler lost his second tooth today... :0) He decided that he digested the first one so well that he'd try swallowing the second one also...... (yeah he's honestly swallowed BOTH of them so far) :shrug: To make matters worse he is wearing this as a badge of honor.... He thinks that since the tooth fairy has to use a special wand to get the tooth from his tummy that he gets extra $$ (whose flipping idea was it to make THAT story up to him...!!!!!)
