Sparkly Vampires

I remember when Twilight came out and I literally said “Yeah right. I am NEVER going to watch that crap.” I also remember thinking I’m way too old to enjoy that. Then I got sick. I mean really, really sick. I was stuck in bed unable to do anything (so bad so that the girls had to be quarantined away from me to my parents and Daniel stayed upstairs). And what do you guess was on t.v. ALL the time? That’s right Twilight and Eclipse. I watched everything I could think of to watch. Even watched 3 seasons of a wedding show just to avoid watching these movies. Then in my delirious state after about 4 days, I gave in. I watched the first one. The movie was not so good. However, I have always loved books/movies relating to vampires so I guess you could say I could get why so many people are in love with it. In my sickness (and not really wanting to watch the second one), I downloaded the books into my reader. That did it. I read all four books in the span of about 5 days. I then rewatched the first movie, watched the second move, and on demand watched the third. And now here I sit, like some obsessed little teenager waiting for the fourth book to be made into a movie. Of course it would have to be put into two parts which means this wait will go until November of this year and then next year. So, what to do, that’s right, I re-read the fourth book since there is no movie to watch yet. Oh and I also downloaded Midnight Sun and The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. My husband finds it hilarious that I am in love with “the sparkly vampire movies”. Honestly, I don’t think I would have enjoyed the movies at all (minus how gorgeous some of the actors are) if I had not read the books. Seriously, who doesn’t love a really good love story? And now I’ve made my embarrassing confession, but I own it.

Time for another keyboard

I was the girl that actually enjoyed typing class in school. That is until I realized I was pretty good at it, and then became bored with the class. All I can say is thank you to the class though. I am a pretty good typist and more importantly very quick. There is one problem though. I actually have had to replace several keyboards. Not because of me. Because I literally rub the letters off the keys and therefore nobody else can use my keyboard. I don’t need the letters on it. Don’t even look at the keyboard when I’m typing, as in never. I never look at it. However, I give in and don’t want to listen to people complain about my keyboard they can’t use. Why are they using it? That is a whole different blog. I just don’t see a problem. Didn’t you have a good teacher/class in middle and high school that taught you how to type? Guess not!

Professional Wrestling

I get it people, it’s fake. But here’s the deal – I grew up watching this with my dad. We used to go downtown and watch it live all the time. I have vivid memories of Flair on the ground in front of me cutting his own forehead, crawling back into the ring, and making it look like part of the show. Still thought it was real. Seriously. Then you have to picture my great grandmother (G.G.) being way too involved. I mean this little old woman would get so involved she would be standing on her chair screaming at the guys to “Get up off the ground, don’t you see he is about to jump on you!” (etc). I loved her. I loved the time with my dad. I loved professional wrestling. I was the kid watching it on weekend nights when it would go all night. I would fall asleep and wake up to the blue screen. Every. Single. Weekend. Now I’m an adult. Still watch it. It is like my soap opera. No, I don’t watch every week. But enough to keep myself in the loop. I was lucky to find a husband who not only does not think I’m crazy, but has the same feelings. Now, even if you don’t get the above and you still think I’m crazy, I want you to just once youtube some of the videos with The Rock. You will never think I’m crazy again. This man is gorgeous, funny, and entertaining as hell to watch. Thank God in heaven I’ve already ordered Wrestlemania tickets for this year!

Have a happy what?!?!?

Always, really, you have got to be kidding me. Have a happy period. First, I want to apologize to all the men out there. Do you really think they want to see commercials for all this time of the month crap. I assure you, they don’t! Seriously, who in their right mind thought this was a good advertisement. Certainly not a woman. I do not think there is a sane woman out there that would use the word “happy” with relation to this monthly event (you know minus the ones that are scared to death it won’t come). Then I thought a man wouldn’t either because as I mentioned above they wouldn’t want to hear about this. Then I got to thinking a little bit more. Maybe if they put this false mumbo jumbo out there then it would plant a seed with other zombie men that this should be a happy time of the month and therefore what are we complaining about. I mean I can see me having one of those days and Daniel coming in and being all “Hey, wait just a minute, why aren’t you having a happy period? It says right on t.v. you should be happy.” Yeah right. Because everything on t.v. is always right! I think I’ll not use Always anymore and see how happy they are.

And so it begins

I have always had a love of writing. Always great at it in high school and crafted in college. Then life hit and I just sort of pushed that part of me aside. I rekindled it a little when I was pregnant with my first daughter and wrote a journal of the entire pregnancy. Harder to write once I was a mommy and even harder after our second daughter arrived. Then the craziest thing happened. A work situation warranted an outlet. It wasn’t a situation where talking to friends and family sufficed. I realized I was craving what I loved. I was craving writing. That is all it took. A subject matter, a very interested audience that grew as the pieces I wrote were forwarded by the original recipients, and pure enjoyment on my part. It was penned as Deliciously Evil (or “DE” for short) and I loved every second of writing it and more so the accomplishment of doing what I so loved. I pulled out a couple books that I had been working on years earlier and put a few more chapters on it. Recently, I even took back to a simple blog about my girls and a start to a different kind of book. I want to do more. I want to finish the books. I want to write and write and write. But the reality is I have a full time job, two adorably funny girls, and one crazy household. Just as the DE blog made my day to write and receive reviews, I thought a funny quick witted blog would suffice for now. For now! So, I will continue writing about my hilarious girls, but as such I am not just a mommy. I need this different outlet. A way for the things that amuse me, the things that annoy me, the things that make me laugh to have a place in writing. Hope you enjoy. And by the way, once these other books are published, I anticipate each and every one of you will be buying them!
