Twilight not sure what the big deal is


So I am not quite sure what the big deal is about this book and movie are but I do know lots of people who are crazy about it. I will be among the millions of people going to see the movie this weekend curiosity of Brittany Strong and her dentist. He rented out a movie theatre for his patients to see if for FREE each patient got so many tickets and Brittany threw me in the mix of her tickets. Taylor is going on Friday with one of her friends and their family who also rented out one of the theatres in Syracuse for this big opening and I think Trevor is going this weekend as well. I haven't taken the time to read any of the books but I do think all the hype that everyone makes of these books and the movie is pretty funny. To each their own! I am not making fun of these people don't get me wrong I just think it is funny to see grown girls act like teenagers over a book, and I don't think I have ever been so excited to see a movie that I went at the 12:01am. The only thing I would ever stay up the late to do would involve "Stoddard" if you get my drift. I am curious to see what all the hype is about but I will be seeing it at 5pm on Saturday with my best friend!

TEENAGERS!!!!

Can i just say that some days i really don't like teenagers! I know that i was one once but i find it hard to believe that i acted like one! LOL Here are a few things that are really on my nerves!

1-You spend time making a menu, go to the store to buy said items on menu, come home put items away, then get them out again on their day to make what is on your menu. Now let it be said that of course NO ONE gives you ideas for said menu- no you are on your own for that! So you come home spend time making dinner so that when the whole family arrives on your door step dinner is done! (At our home that is between 5:30-6:00pm) They come running in to only meet you in the kitchen just as you are serving up the last of your EIGHT! plates to either A- ask you what you are making cause it looks great! B-to ask you what you are making cause it looks GROSS! C- to tell you they are NOT EATING! cause what you made doesn't look good! D- to tell you that so in so in the family is not going to be home for dinner! or my personal favorite from Tony after he ate his dinner was E- This tasted a lot better than i thought it did!!!!!! You know what! make your own DAM dinner!!! and yes i swore!
if you haven't guessed that happened last nite and the dinner was HOMEMADE- chicken and wild rice soup! Of course they all wanted desert which was my pumpkin bars i made for homemaking and of course to top it all off the one that wasn't home came home so i had to heat it all up again and the one that wasn't eating decided that no one died from eating it so they would eat!! TEENAGERS!

2-Another personal favorite of mind is the water taker- this is the one in the house that has no sense that maybe some one else would like to have a hot shower! They get in and i am sure have a nice hot enjoyable shower with no regard that other people and by that i mean ME! would like to have HOT WATER! so they get in for 40 MINS! So when i get in i have barely warm to cold water- yep that is how i love to start my day!

3-Another great thing about teenagers is they have no regard to that you might want to have i don't know YOUR OWN LIFE! they get real snippy if they think you might be gone enjoying yourself for to long what about dinner? or what if they need something? or what if you are not around to take them here or there on a moments notice?

4- And last but not least they have no regard to that you might want to sleep! There are two things involved in this one. A- hey i know it is like 10pm but i need like 3 different things washed and dried by 7:30am and they all are different and can't go in the same load so can you stay up half the nite and make sure it gets done! B- I need to be up by 6am (I know you stayed up half the nite for me BUT i need to be up by 6am) oh and by the way - i can't get up to my alarm so YOU have to get up to get me up and don't think i will get up the 1st time you come get me up! That is just plain SILLY! it will be like the 10000 time you come it which by then will be like 7am and now it is all your fault cause i wasn't up by 6am!

Yeah you've got to love TEENAGERS!

I've been TAGGED!!!

Tina Cook TAGGED me- and the topic is 7 random things that you didn't know about me!

1-I am very scared of heights and when I say VERY SCARED that is what i mean i was about 16 years old before i could step onto a escalator or be in a elevator (the ones that have windows like the one in Layton hills mall) without having a full blown panic attack with me crying uncontrollably until i was off of it. I was a mess if i even thought i might have to get on one. I still have lots of panic when i am at the mall or other places that have these but i have learned to control it and you wouldn't know that i am freaking out inside unless i told you! So now you know the rest of the story....at least on that subject!

2-I was sup post to grow up and be an actress i was involved in theatre my whole life until i went to college and in high school i was in a theatre company in Houston. I won best actress in 1987 in our theatre group. I also preformed at the Alley Theatre in Houston which is a huge theatre play house! Maybe in my next life i will fulfill all of those dreams! I grew up going to plays and such but not so much these days - could you see " STODDARD" at that stuff? I ask and talk about going but i am always given a look like "Please kill me now"!

3-I can't carry a tune to save my life! In fact my mother is a very good singer and would often do solos in church and she never would sit next to me in sacrament meeting because of that, she even hired a singing coach for me but no luck i was never able get the hang of being able to carry a tune.(i did sing in primary cause it was little kids and they won't judge me) so i admire people who can sing my other dream would be able to sing and come back as faith hill,Carrie Underwood or Taylor swift! So you may see me sing in church but most likely i am either mouthing the words or singing softly cause i am very embarrassed by the fact that i can't sing.

4-I am a huge planner so it stresses me out if my life is not planned out and i have to have refer to my planner and my calender on my frig for what we are doing if it is not on the calender then it is not happening. To go along with that i can't have anyone write on the calender but me! and it can only be in blue ink! that also stresses me out to have to write in black ink - i don't know why but it does and i can't remember when i started being like this -so i always carry a blue pen with me everywhere i go cause what if the checker at Walmart had a black pen? That would freak me out! i know i am weird!!! LOL

5-I have to wear my hair up at nite to sleep! I have always been like that since most of my life i have had long hair. I get to hot if my hair is down- it used to have to be in a pony tail but now that i am older-lol it is in a clippie but i can't go to sleep without it being up!

6-I am a huge reality TV buff (also i just am a huge TV watcher) I like them all-
mostly i watch what i call crap TV - right now my big shows are "rock of love charm school" "top chef" "the real housewives of Atlanta" "17 and counting" and "john &Kate plus 8" all of this drives "Stoddard" crazy so i recorded them when they come on at like 2 or 3 in the morning and try to watch them before he gets up in the morning or before he comes home!

7- I can't go to the movies without getting popcorn, candy and a drink (I don't ever share my drink or candy)- In fact i just won't go if that is not part of the deal and it doesn't count as a date unless you have bought me those things! We also have to sit in the same spot every time we go this stresses me out if i think we might not be the 1st in line so we can get our spot! Especially if it is a new movie that i think is going to be huge. I have been known to go 2 or 3 hours early and wait in line and have the rest of the family meet me there so we are 1st in line. I also have to buy my tickets early if i think it is going to be a huge movie. We go to the movies every Thanksgiving my whole life so i already picked out the movie months ago (it has to be a Christmas movie) and will most likely buy my tickets this weekend!

So now you know more than you ever wanted to about me!

I am tagging Taylor& Brittany
