Good luck!

In honor of the fact I'm reading Eclipse, the third installment in the Twilight saga by Stephanie Meyer, your trivia today is:

What is Edward's "mother's" name in the book? And what is the actress' name that plays her in the movie Twilight? And finally, what tv series did said actress have a recurring role in not too long ago that ended with her going crazy and thinking she was prego when she wasn't? (It's one of my faves!)

Awesome Day Alert!!

Here is why today is so awesome (so far!):

I have been dying to get a recliner because we have a sectional in the living room and I don't wanna get into how it is formed, but there's only one recliner with arms on it. My husband and I fight over it and he claims that I picked a spot and that wasn't it. It's the most comfy spot when I'm sitting with the kids or trying to relax. So, I've been dying to get one and we had some extra money today, so I thought I'd look at this shoe store in our town that is also kinda a thrift store with used furniture that is in good shape. Anyway, I went upstairs and was in heaven! They had so many retro furniture items that I would have LOVED to have, but alas don't have the room, which got me excited thinking about when we move, etc. Anyway, they had a rocker recliner just like what I wanted and it was CHEAP! It was in good shape and I love it! Then, we looked around and they had a sweet arse bookshelf as well that would be perfect to keep L from pulling all the DVDs off the current shelf. The bottom had a little cabinet with doors. It was only $14.99! So, super stoked about my finds there, then off to WalMart we went.

We only needed a few things, but I always look at the book aisle with my fingers crossed that they will have Eclipse, but they never do. TODAY THEY DID!!! I'm so excited to read it and I know they have Breaking Dawn waiting for when I'm done with Eclipse. So, that's what I'm gonna do Friday- read all day. As for today, I'm gonna do some school work and relax in MY RECLINER!!

Plus, they had a Wonder Pets DVD in the $5 rack and A loves getting new furniture as well, so I can't wait to pick the kids up and see their reactions.

GREAT DAY!! I am a little sleepy though... but GREAT DAY!!!! *giddy*

New Moon by Stephanie Meyer

I finished New Moon within 24 hours. It was a great sequel to Twilight! I was a little nervous at first that Edward was not going to be in the book as from near the beginning, it becomes about Bella's friendship with Jacob and that whole thing. Instead of waiting to find out, I "peaked" ahead... no spoilers, but let's just say I was relieved.

Anyway, this sequel focuses on the werewolves that are located around Forks. It is a good read and has all the emotion that we come to expect from this saga. I do love the stories, but have to say that I don't think Meyer is the greatest writer in history. Her writing is a little too clinical and not as flowy/showy as I'd like.

But, I will not fault her as these are excellent stories and I look forward to reading Eclipse.

I would also like to talk about the plans for the New Moon movie- I will do so in a future blog. And in terms of this whole Team Edward/Team Jacob thing, I don't get it. How could anyone be on Team Jacob? He's a nice guy and all, but Bella loves Edward, so Team Jacob should prepare themselves for a world of hurt! LOL.

I definitely recommend this book!
