Mmmmm...

Well hello there! You are sooo yummy! I love his hair like this. I like either way but now he's not hiding behind his hair like he was before. Plus, I'm not down with the greasy hair look. I stopped liking Ethan Hawke for those reasons exactly.

Can't wait for the new movie to come out!!

Read-o-holic??

What is up with me lately?? I don't find TV interesting at all. I don't find anything on the internet interesting either. All i want to do is READ! Occasionally I go through these bouts of binge-reading and then something with more precedence takes over my life (kids or work) and reading gets put back on the shelf (no pun intended). I can't stop. I find it hard to put a book down. I'm sometimes up till 2 a.m. reading. If I start a book I have to keep reading it till it's over. It's getting pretty ridiculous. Orly is now saying, "you and that damned book". He's no fun.

I finished the Sookie Stackhouse books and am anxiously awaiting the new book (march, i think) to come out. I hate Bill. I love Bill. I love Eric. I hate Quinn. I need something new. I need another distraction. A new series. A new book.

Possible next reads are...

Atonement (loved the movie, the book must be better)
The Vampire Diaries
The Host

Anything else I should consider??

I want my long hair back!!!!

I'm going to be growing out my hair. I've decided that i'm tired of the mom cut. My hair is going to look crappy for a long time because of this but I must resist the urge to chop it all off. The end result will be worth it. Hopefully it won't take a yr to grow it out. I have a feeling it will though. So in the meantime, please excuse my helmet hair.

Must have Edward!!!

I purchased Twilight tickets last Tuesday to see what all the hype of Twilight was about. Orly didn't have a choice in the matter. He was going regardless. I purchased the tickets at the Alamo Drafthouse for the last showing which also happened to be "vampire prom" night. It was very cool! People here in Austin always amaze me. After watching the movie, I had to read the books. Orly bought me the first book the next day and I read it that night while waiting for my cheesecake to rise in the oven. I bought the rest of the books yesterday and finished the second book last night. I think I'm obsessed with Edward. I think he plays on almost every woman's emotions. He's too perfect. He's also troubled and flawed which makes him even more delicious. After reading the first two books I think they choose Edward Cullen perfectly for the movie. I can't complain about Bella, either. She could be a better actress. There's a few scenes in it where I'm kinda not "feeling it". You definitely feel the tension between them though that you feel when you read the books.

Any who, 2 books in 2 days. I just started the third one a bit ago and hopefully I'll be able to put it down. I don't think I can last staying up till 2 in the morning much longer. Maddox wakes up every morning at 5:30-6:00 o'clock. It's killing me. I also don't want to finish the books too soon. I don't know what I'll do when I'm done with them. I may go into some deep depression much like Bella did when Edward left her. It can't be that bad. Can it?

Any suggestions for my next series of books to read that will distract me from the Cullens?

BRRRR!!!

It's 42 degrees and I love it! I love being able to turn on the heater and wear sweatpants. Maybe I just like sweatpants. I think I love the weather because it reminds me of the Holiday Season coming up. We've been in our house now for over 2 years and we've never used our fireplace. For shame. I shall put that on my "to do" list.

I went to Ikea on Veterans Day and got a kitchen table for 60 bucks! It was a special deal and only had a limited supply. I love deals! Our old one was, old. It's had it's time and now it's time to go to Goodwill. The kitchen table from Ikea is pretty basic but i'm not going to invest any real money into new furniture until Maddox gets older. I'd really love to get rid of my couches but there's no point really. So for now, my couches will remain a napkin for dirty hands.

Orly went out of town on Friday and will be coming back tomorrow afternoon. He ended up going down to the Valley while being sick. I'm pretty glad he's down there. The last thing I need is sickness in this house. I kind of miss him. Kind of. ;)

camera suicide

It finally killed itself. I'm sure I had a hand in it's fatality. I'm sure dropping it on drunken nights and never charging the battery didn't help much. He was a soldier. On his final night he took several pics and then never turned on again.


Anywho... TIME FOR A NEW SOLDIER!!


I'm thinking I want this....





I dig it. It's a little more than what i'd like to spend but it's what i'm looking for. I mean, if I treat it with care it will last several years so why not?
