New Moon Rising

***Just a warning in advance.... if you HAVE NOT seen New Moon yet, there may be a few spoilers in this post, so.............. if you don't want to know anything about it until you see it, don't keep reading***

It really is amazing how fast a year can go by!! I remember last year after Twilight came out and they announced that New Moon would be coming out in November 2009, it felt like way to long to wait! But it came around SO quick!!

(This was my white board at work!! Starting at day 50 I counted down until the day was finally here!!)

I got SO lucky thanks to some great people at work and was able to get tickets to a 9 o'clock p.m. show on Thursday night at Jordan Commons!! I took my friend Christine with me and before the show we decided to stop at Burger King for dinner. We stopped there because........ andThey had New Moon crowns too!! We asked for them and the mean lady wouldn't give any too us!! She said we would have to buy a gift card to get one! LAME!!

It was CRAZY at that theatre!! Lots and lots of girls and lots of Team Edward/Jacob shirts!!Before the movie started they were doing a bunch of giveaways (I didn't win anything but lucky Christine did), but we were both so impatient for the movie to start!!

Before the movie started a lady got up and informed us that because we were at a special event, all of our electronic devices had to be OFF!! And she didn't just mean turned down to silent... she meant all the way off!! Why you ask?? Because there were big guys on both sides of the theatre watching us through night vision binoculars! It was kind of hilarious! As soon as the lights went off you saw these guys scanning the theatre for any one trying to record the movie!! They did that all through out the show!!

The movie was awesome!! I was so happy that they stuck so closely to the book!! Of course there were some difference, but there has to be you make a 563 page novel into a movie!! I really liked the way they used Bella's emails to Alice to help tell the story!! And I love the part with Jessica at the movies!! She is hilarious ("That home boy could have been a psycho", haha)!! I really like the Volturi parts too!! The red eyes are TONS better in this one!! And Dakota Fanning is a perfect Jane!!

The end killed me though!! I was ticked at first!! I guess I shouldn't have been surprised...... I knew that part was in there..... but man what a cliff hanger if you haven't read any of the books!!

We took this picture as soon as we got back in the car!! Ahhhh!! We loved it!! And the best part.... we got to see it again!! We already had tickets to a show at 12:15 a.m. at The District, so we raced over there so we could see it AGAIN!! And guess what.... it was just as awesome the 2nd time!! Even if by then I was SO tried!!
This is what time we got done with our New Moon night..........2:45 a.m. Haha!! Almost 7 straight hours of all things New Moon!! I had SO much fun with Christine and all my other friends that night!! I know it's a crazy obsession but it's just fun for one night to act crazy and be excited!!

I have seen it two more times since opening weekend, and it's just as good every time!! People still cheer when Edward walks away from his Volvo and grown women still scream when Jacob Black takes off his shirt!! Even if you are not a Twilight fan, going to the movie for that entertainment would be pretty funny!!

Talented

I wish I was a crafty person!! I love getting on every one's blogs and seeing all the cute and crafty things they are doing!!
My awesome friend Amanda made some super cute fabric letters for her little girls and they look SO awesome!! She also made her a dang cute tutu!! I wish I knew how to sew!! I remember taking that class as part of TLC in middle school and it was HORRIBLE!! I got my worst grade ever in that class....... a C- and I cried for a long time about it!! I was never able to finish my locker caddy and the stupid teacher threw my material away...... yeah.... sad!! I probably need to try again, and start out with something simple like a pillow case or draw string bag! Haha!!
Another crafty friend..... Rachel! I just finished reading her blog and holy cow she just made some of the cutest wooden blocks for her little boy!! It's amazing what you can do with Mod Podge!! That stuff is seriously awesome!!

And then I have some crafty friends that sell their amazing projects!!
First I have to tell you about Lara and her super cute new headbands!! If you are a fan of the flower clips for your hair, you have to see these!! I've already told my mom that they are on my Christmas list!! If you want one for yourself or want to add them to your wish list, check them out here!!
And then there is April! If you have ever admired a Bumble's watch, you will really like these!! She has TONS of cute bands and lots of fun faces!! She even does custom order stuff!! Check her blog out here!!
A third crafty friend is my cousin Kristen!! She has a vinyl machine and she makes some amazing stuff!! She has a blog with a craft of the month that is typically holiday related!! So much fun!! Or she has a website where you can custom order lettering for your own projects!

Hope you have fun checking out all of these cool blogs!!! And who could forget about my favorite website of all time.... ETSY!!!

Words From A Slacker

Man!! It has been awhile since I posted anything! I am pretty much a slacker!! The funny part is that I get on some of your blogs every day and wonder "why in the heck haven't they posted something new yet"!! And here I sit daily thinking...... hmmmmm.......... I should probably post something on my blog!!

But really, I just love getting on and seeing what other people have going on..... pretty much because I DON'T have anything interesting going on! But, I have a goal to hit 100 posts by the end of the year, so you might see some pretty random stuff coming up!

First off, THERE IS ONLY ONE WEEK UNTIL NEW MOON!! I cannot even tell you how excited I am for this! I got SO lucky, thanks to my wonderful friend Tess and scored some tickets to see the show on Thursday night at 9:00 p.m. Wahoo!! And I still have my midnight tickets too!! I pretty much think I am going to see it twice in less than 6 hours!! It sure better be good!!

Work is really slowing down! In some ways it is kind of nice because I don't feel like I am running around like a crazy person!! It also gives me a chance to catch up on some misc stuff that I had in my "to do one day when it's not nuts" folder!! But at the same time, the days can feel super long!! Sometimes I feel like I have been there for 20 hours!! I guess people aren't to excited about going to a car lot in the cold to look at cars!!

Speaking of the cold....... this is about the time of year when I seriously start considering moving to a warmer climate! Or at least to a place where there is not so much snow!! I am NOT excited that there could/will be snow on the ground this weekend (my poor cousin is getting married Saturday so everyone cross your fingers it will hold off until Sunday)!! My brother stuck a back of rock salt in my trunk to weigh the back down. That's supposed to help while driving right?? I think I might go buy a few more bags...... forget good gas mileage!!! I'm also still trying to find the perfect set of snow ties! I'm also trying to decide if I want STUDDED snow tires (p.s. I CANNOT BELIEVE no one told me about that little invention sooner....... would have been AWESOME to know about last year). Has any one ever had them?? Would you recommend them?? Or am I good with just set of the snow tires??

But with coldness comes Christmas!! My friend Nicole informed me today that there are only 6 weeks til the big day!! Ahhhhh!! The year is flying by!! BUT, I am pretty excited about getting all the decorations out!! I have some new stuff to put on the tree like my little Mickey ears hat ornament, my Seattle Space Needle ornament and my favorite:

And I'm not gonna lie...... I occasionally listen to the Christmas music on 100.3 or 106.5 when I'm driving home from work!!!

Well............... I guess that's really it for now!! Like I said..... I really don't have much going on, so I don't have much to post!! But seriously..... get ready for some really random posts because they are definitely coming!!
