Call Me A Freak


Started this morning at about 10:00 a.m. Read a chapter or two, did my motherly/wifely duties and then picked it back up again and couldn't put it down! Did everybody experience that hard thumping in there chest for the first 300 pages?! Notice the timestamp on this post?? Yep that is right. Finished the whole book in one day, kids were fed, cleaned, clothed and never went hungry and the apartment stayed fairly clean! I have never been into a book so much in my life! Not since the Anita Stansfield days in highschool.
...
Like many of you (Amber & Ashley) who's husband have a hard time understanding the addiction, mine is no different. After the Twilight, all I could do around Justin was complain about the library having a book listed on the online catalog, only it was wrong. How rude to get my hopes up like that! I called and got a waiting list, but still couldn't drop it. So, my sweet husband, despite his frustration about being a single parent, let me buy the second book! (Guess it will be a little obsession, just like my Prison Breaks) I will just have to collect them all!
But, and I know it is probably crazy, I told Justin the books were good for us, they made me want to me more affection towards him...anyone else feel that way?
...
I think, if I try really hard, my husband might follow other's examples (Brandon) and attend the New Moon with me in November. Who knows? How could a girl be so lucky, Zoey!?
...
I am not complete crazy. Justin is on call tonight. He is out on a storm...so don't think I am just up rambling about some vampire-romance for nothing!
...
While I am rambling, can I just say how good it makes me feel that there are people who check in on us every now and again. Thank for leaving comments, it really helps with the home sickness. Love you all.

LOL!!! I think that everyone starts out thinking, "These girls are crazy! I won't ever read those books!" And then you give in. After the first 100 pages, you start to understand that you were the crazy one. These books are fantastic!!!

Yes, maybe he will get into it and decide to go to the movie. Brandon listened to the book on tape before we went and he, too, is addicted!!!

Love and miss you!!! I don't know what I'm going to do for Cinnamon Roll Saturdays . . . it's just not the same without you!

Do you really want me to call you a freak? Cuz you know I will! I am so glad you are liking the books and they are keeping your busy! How about we go to the movie 'together'? We'll go when they are playing it 'texas time' and our time, and then we can chat after. That would be so fun huh? Love ya!

Okay so I went to Tai pan and it was awesome and we went to rodworks also awesome!! Hobby Lobby was so fun to and we got lots of stuff for 50% off!! I loved Garner Village ans all the shops it was great! We didn't make it to Ikea but I stopped there last year when we were on way to a BYU game with nates parents and it is HUGE like as big or bigger than sams club but 2 levels! We were a little limited on time so i guess i will have to go again!! So I am really exited to see what you think of the 3rd book Eclipse it was my favorite!! I mean they are all AMAZING but i Loved the 3rd!!

well, i've still never read any of the twilight books. i don't like reading so much these days (who knew post-graduation burn out would last for three years??) so i only read things i'm really enthusiastic about or i get bored. i feel a little out of it, though, because everyone sure loves these twilight books!
