OUT OF THE CLOSET, I LOVE EDWARD!!

Yes, another post! I was going to do one GIANT post yesterday and decided to break them up into three separate ones since they differ so much. This is just for fun!

I'm much too old for this stuff, seriously!

I bought the book Twilight only because it was on every stupid end cap at Borders right before our trip to Ethiopia! It looked nice and big to carry me through the long flight. Well, I never got past page one the entire trip as I couldn't think of anything but our girl and everything else. On the flight I couldn't even watch one of my favorite movies "Out of Africa" (what are the odds)!

After coming home and seeing "Cool Jules" totally obsessed with this whole series I thought, " I should read it when I have a spare minute." Well, low and behold, serious illness knocked and apparently I answered. When you're in and out of bed for the better part of five weeks you have some free time! And so it began...

I opened up Twilight and read it in THREE DAYS! A first for me because it typically takes me months to read small books! I can only read a few pages at a time before falling asleep!

During day two of reading Twilight I quickly realized that I had to have the second book before I was done so that I could start it right away.... So, me and my Kleenex took a field trip crusty nose and all (practically in my bathrobe.) The most horrible part was that I couldn't find it anywhere in the store and looked it up on their computer, guess where it was... the Young Adult section - I'm pathetic! And so, New Moon began... I was devasted by this one.

I should have learned my lesson and just bought the whole series when I ventured out but I didn't. Later that day I hit Amazon for my purchase of the next two in the series as it only took another three days to read New Moon.

Breaking Dawn did not disappoint and I was all bug eyed reading most of it - especially Isle Esme!

It ended up taking me two weeks to read all four and the last one was over 700 pages. MP LOVED my obsession because it kept me off his back and gave him plenty of weekend time to watch whatever he wanted on TV at night without the typical compromise/bickering! No pestering about how long the lawn was going to take, no nagging about taking us out to lunch! None of it! I was 100% committed and even read while cooking dinner for the little monsters.

And now, Cool Jules is going to a post production party because her husband Marshall worked on the film! Tonight she may very well meet some of the actors from the film. In short, I hate Julie!

I'm never like this and haven't had a crush on a fictional character since Don Johnson in Miami Vice, and Tom Cruise in Risky Business (around the eight grade - I'm almost 37 now folks)... I feel like a twelve year old and almost cried when I finished the last book. I've even resorted to re-reading Twilight while cross reading the Midnight Sun book which Stephenie Meyer wrote (partially) and posted online only. Midnight sun is Twilight from Edwards perspective (love it.)

Twilight the film opens on November 21st and I'm trying to decide how and with whom I was to see it! I hope Michelle or Rhonda get around to reading/loving it too so we go together. Rhonda, I still owe you dinner and a movie, remember!!!

I need to be stopped! My obsession is out of control! There! I admitted it, I feel better.

And if you don't have anything nice to say, don't leave a comment! :)

My Edward...
