I'll say it. Out loud. Cheezeee.

I think if you haven't read the books, you stand a better chance of liking the movie. Having said that, it wasn't horrible. Just not A+++. Only A+. Because it made me laugh hysterically.

I wasn't expecting it to be comedic, at all! It did give me a little thrill to see (sorta) my old neighborhood featured. (Hello Kalama high school!) And I feel a bit like a traitor. Who knew I would be somewhat attracted to Carlisle Cullen?

Maybe their makeup could have been a bit better. OK, a lot better. And their acting could have used some fine tuning. It wasn't all bad. There were parts where Rob Pattinson had me believing in vampires. But, they looked too made up and like they were trying too hard to be acting. And Jasper. Yeah, he was just some freaky dude with way bad hair and creepy bug eyes. I think the characters needed to be a bit more developed and more time spent on the relationship of Ed and Bells instead of, like, two seconds of, "Eww your stinky" to "Hmm. Can't live without you." But the kissing...Delishush. And the, "I'm going to bite your neck now" gave me the shivers.

Despite popular consensus, I kinda did like the soundtrack. It totally worked for the movie.

One of my friends sent me a link to a spoof on the movie, and I believe this is what had me in hysterics throughout the show. If you haven't seen the real movie trailer, then this won't make sense to you. So, also for your viewing pleasure, I'll link to the trailer. Just be sure to watch this first.

Oh my gosh, I'm totally going to go see Twilight-a. Well, not really. Only if I can go with you. I love laughing with you in movies...I bet all of the people who were really serious about the movie were so mad that you were laughing. Tedward. That spoof was hilarious!

ok, so I'm cheezeee, cause I liked it. But I wouldn't have liked it if it was all serious, I like a good laugh. Yes, there were things that made me go, "hum, ok, I didn't picture that or picture him to look like that, or that was a different look" but over all I liked it. I even took Tyler (13) and Erin (11) to it the next day cause I wanted to see it again. Of course they loved it. And to be honest, if I can get a little escape from my reality right now, I'll probably watch just about anything, and probably like it too.

All right I loved the movie too! I know I did have moments as mentioned above where certain charactors or things didn't mesh well, but all in all I really liked it! Well looks like you still had lots of fun. Love you!

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
