2 Weeks Notice

glowingirl — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:35:43 +0000

The other day my husband gave me his two weeks notice.
Don’t worry, he’s not running out on me. Well, not exactly… He just wanted to let me know college football would be starting in two weeks and he would pretty much be checking out for awhile. Whatever. I kind of like football, but really, hours and hours and hours of it? I don’t get it. Either way I’m sooooo excited for football to start because that always gives me that exciting feeling that fall is right around the corner! I LOVE fall. Can’t wait. Is it too early to get out my fall decor?

Olympic Fun

I’ve decided I quite like having cartoons on my blog. Here is a new one for your enjoyment.

I’m having a dry spell. I don’t have anything exciting to report. I think I’m done on the reviews for the Twilight series…we’ll see what happens when the movie comes out! But, here goes nothing…(literally)

We are experiencing Olympic Madness around here. Pretty much the tv is on the Olympics from about 5:00 pm to… oh, say, 1:00 am everyday. I guess we’re giving “Rock Band” a well deserved break. Go USA!

Some of our favorite events to watch are swimming, gymnastics, and diving. We watched some amazing divers a couple days ago!

As I said I havent had anything exciting happen to me lately. I’ve purchased a couple DVDs off of MadeBig.com with my coins that I earned by doing the puzzles on MadeBig.

My garden is growing, I guess thats kind of exciting. My tomatoes are getting big and almost red. I cant wait to make some BLTs for dinner with my homegrown tomatoes. I also like not having to worry whether my tomatoes will be good or bad for me cause there’s no insect spray or anything harmful put on them.

Breaking Dawn (yet again)

Sara brought up a point that I haven’t thought of why the younger readers (in their teens) didnt like this book as much as the others. She said that because Bella became a mother and was given more responsibilty teenagers didnt like it as much. I think they wanted it to be full of romance without the added worry about Bella having a baby to worry about. I was so excited when she got pregnant though. I was scared for her at first and didnt like Rosalie (I thought she would take the baby away from Bella and let Bella die) but in the end I did like Rosalie.

I also think another reason it wasnt as loved among teens would be because Jacob imprinted on Renesme, I think teens (not all teens) thought that, that was weird (it kind of was) I know when I read that I had to read it a few times and was thinking what, what happened, that is so crazy! I did like it though.

One thing about the book that I didnt like was how Bella started shortening Jaspers and Emmetts and Rosalies names. She didnt shorten their names in the first 3 books and it wasnt like she wasnt close to them in the other books. I can see why she shortened Rosalies name to Rose because they had grown closer because of the baby. But for the 2 boys that didnt make much sense to me. The writing style was a little different then the 3 books prior. But all in all I really did like it.

Breaking Dawn Review!

glowingirl — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 20:02:52 +0000

Ok so I finished reading Breaking Dawn a couple days ago. It was so good, so I read a bunch of different chapters twice because I loved it so much! I’m not going to give out any spoilers, I agree with Stephenie that you have to read it to find out what happens otherwise it will ruin the whole book. I am planning on reading it all through again (this time a little slower) to pick up parts that I’m sure I missed. I am hoping to start it again from the beginning tomorrow on the drive up to a family reunion that I’m going to. (it will be a 3-4 hour drive).

Anyways I am also super excited for the Twilight movie that will be coming out in December…I might go down to Arizona to see it with my sisters who are also share my obsession for Twilight!

Something else that’s new with me is that I just bought some socks and a shirt off of MadeBig with the coins that I got from playing the fun games. (I highly recommend it) There is a ton of stuff that you can get from the marketplace on that site. It’s so cool.

Well I’ll post a blog sometime next week. Sorry about not blogging for a week. I will be better! I promise!

Blind Man In Texas

glowingirl — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 21:20:16 +0000

There once was a blind man who decided to visit Texas. When he arrived on the plane, he felt the seats and said, “Wow, these seats are big!” The person next to him answered, “Everything is big in Texas.” When he finally arrived in Texas, he decided to visit a bar. Upon arriving in the bar, he ordered a beer and got a mug placed between his hands. He exclaimed, “Wow these mugs are big!” The bartender replied, “Everything is big in Texas.” After a couple of beers, the blind man asked the bartender where the bathroom was located. The bartender replied, “Second door to the right.” The blind man headed for the bathroom, but accidentally tripped over and skipped the second door. Instead, he entered the third door, which lead to the swimming pool and fell into the pool by accident. Scared to death, the blind man started shouting, “Don’t flush, don’t flush!”

Breaking Dawn

I am so excited for Stephenie Meyers 4th book to her Twilight Series! I’ve read the 1st chapter that was in the back of the Special Edition of Eclipse and it got me so excited. I know it gets released next Saturday and it really isnt that far away but it feels like it will never come! I am so excited for it to come out. I also cant wait for the Twilight movie I think the cast will do a good job! I know that some of the cast arent exactly who we all pictured to be Bella or Edward but I think everyone has different ideas of what the characters would look like so I think that they will work. I’ve recently joined a group that I found on madebig.com called Twilight it has pictures and the quotes from Breaking Dawn! You can also read stuff from Stephenie Meyers website.

Funny hahaha

Well I was looking at some of the jokes in a group on MadeBig called A Good Laugh, Jokes and Comments. I found a joke/story that had me laughing for a good five minutes! I love to laugh, which is good because it helps you to stay healthy and live longer. Well here is the funny story that I found:Two little kids are in a hospital lying on stretchers next to each other outside the operating room.

The first kid leans over and asks, ‘What are you in here for?’ The second kid says, ‘I’m in here to get my tonsils out, and I’m a little nervous.’ The first kid says, ‘You’ve got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when you wake up they give you lots of jello and ice cream. It’s a breeze.’

The second kid then asks, ‘What are you here for?’ The first kid says, ‘A circumcision.’ ‘Whoa!’ the second kid replies, ‘Good luck buddy’, ‘I had that done when I was born… Couldn’t walk for a year.’

Deep Cleaning!

glowingirl — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:35:23 +0000

I am cleaning my house for a party that I will be having next week. I wanted to deep clean (not just pick up.) I want to clean the carpets, scrub the floor, clean cupboards and wash windows. I’ve been cleaning every spare minute that I can since Monday. I still have along way to go. Today I will be able to get carpet in one of the rooms done and that room will be finished (which is a relief because it is the main room we will be doing the party in!

I wanted to get some cleaning ideas so I went to madebig.com and joined a group called Housekeeping and Household Helpful Hints. I found some good information about using Peroxide and the things you can use it for. I also learned that when I clean the shower to use Murphys Oil and wipe down the shower and mold wont grow and it will look good.

Well I’m back to cleaning, I was just taking a little blogging break!

Reading Addiction

glowingirl — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:29:33 +0000

I’ve been reading a ton of books lately. I’ve got some suggestions about what books to read from a group on MadeBig called “Book Lovers Corner“. I’ve read some of the books that people have suggested in this group. One of the next books that I will be picking up from the library this week is the book “Next” by Michael Crichton. It was recommended from a member on MadeBig. I cant wait to get started reading it. I love reading so much that I’m so excited to start this book!
