Darn my sister in law. She is 100% to blame for the lack of blog posts over Christmas vacay. You see, she convinced me to read the Twilight series.
I had avoided it like the plague.
Vampires?
Teenage romance?
Werewolves?
Yuck. Not for me.
But she swore I'd love 'em-- and she was right. I bought the first book the Monday before Christmas. I read it and the second book, New Moon, before Christmas Day. I took a break for the holidays, but plowed through books three and four finishing before the new year. {Patting myself on the back as I squint at the computer with my strained eyes!}
There were many hours of chore ignoring and many hours of neglecting my husband. Lofton compares my reading to smoking crack or shooting heroin. {No really. He does.} He said he would support my habit if I could do it casually, not obsessively. But, I'm just that kind of manic reader. I become consumed.
Last night he indulged me and we watched Twilight {the movie}. It was okay. I much prefer to come up with the scenes and images in my mind.
Truthfully, I am glad it's over. I was sad when I turned the last page, but happy to be a part of experiencing what has consumed pop culture since 2008.
Now if I could only figure out how to tweet from school.
{Just kidding! Twitter is dumb. }

I can't believe you read all those books in two weeks. You really must be a psycho.
SEE???? im not the only crazy one. and yes, to all those who have not read it...your really have no choice but to read them all really quickly bc embarrassingly enough you HAVE to know what happens. and it was a great relief when i was done. im happy now i dont have to think about it anymore :)
I love twilight and just can' help it!! If it makes you feel any better, when I was reading the last book, I never put it down and finally adam said, "will you stop reading that and pay attention to me!" haha!! oops!
