Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope that you all have a wonderful day, sharing the time with family and not worrying about all the calories that you are eating! Did you know that the average person eats over 4,000 calories on Thanksgiving? The thing is, it's not the dinner that's the killer, it's the snacking while watching football! I'm finally up to 20 pounds lost, I just hope I don't pack them all back on today! Have a great day!

I finally went....

to see Twilight. I just have to say that I LOVED IT!!!! It was a very well put together movie. I thought that it followed the storyline of the book for the most part. There are always things that are different in the the movies, of course, but it was done well. I really liked the actor and actress that played Edward and Bella, they did a phenomenal job! I WILL be going to see this again for sure!

Twilight

Well, Twilight came out on Thursday at midnight. I STILL haven't seen it. I figured it would be the same movie whether I saw it on opening night or a week later. I'm going to end up seeing it twice anyway, since I didn't lose as much weight as my friend. Oh well, at least I'm still losing!! I just hope that the movie isn't a disappointment after all the hype....

I just don't understand...

The fury over the 'Twilight' movie will soon be over. It's crazy, all of these women going nuts over a fictional character. One of the nurses where I work is completely in love with Edward (our hero). She asked me, "Why can't husbands be more like Edward, he has so much romance and he really cares about Bella." (brain dead object of Edwards affection). That's an easy answer, Edward was created by the mind of a woman. He could never exist, he's the ideal man for women because he 'thinks' like a woman. He is every womans dream guy. If he had been created by a man, he would be a man's man, and his name would be James Bond. Anyway, I have read two of the books, and I want to see the movie. I made fun of the nurse that was letting me read the books, and she wouldn't let me finish the third one. Of course Melissa has read them all, I don't think she is as wound up in the books as some of the other women that I have seen or heard about. I put a countdown to the madness on top of this blog just in case someone is not as well informed about 'Twilight'.

Pictures, finally!

As you can see, I did finally post pictures of the kids in their Halloween costumes. Now we are trying to get ready for Christmas. I think we are almost done with the shopping, WOO HOO!! I like to try it get it done before the first week of December, then we can actually enjoy the holidays. I love this time of year, the food, the smells, the giving spirit, it's great.

Halloween

The kids had a blast on Halloween this year! We went to the downtown trick or treat in the city that we live in, and then they went trick or treating around the neighborhood. I have a HUGE bowl full of candy and I will probably end up throwing a bunch of it away before Christmas. I just don't think my kids will eat all of it, even with mom and dad's help.
I will have to post pictures later. Makenzie was a witch, Michael was a vampire and Emma was a pink poodle. They all looked adorable, of course!!!
