Just Not Ready

I'm not ready for this..... the freezing, frigid coldness!! This is what I woke up to this morning:

It was not fun!! I don't know exactly how much snow was on the ground, but there was a pretty good amount!! And it's hard to tell in this picture, but it was snowing like crazy!!

So the drive to work was not fun at all!! Normally it takes me about 15 to 20 mins. to get to work, but today it took me about 50! It felt so much longer than that though!! I have become such a paranoid driver after being rear-ended so many times!! I kept waiting for my car to start sliding!! Luckily it never happened. But.... the winter has just begun!!

The snow continued allllllll day long!! There were only a few times when I looked out the window and it wasn't snowing!! The worst though was after work was over. First off, now that daylight savings time is over, it is very dark when work ends. Well, I go outside and my car is sitting in a little lake. Well, I guess it was more like a pond, but a frozen over pond!! So I had to walk through the FREEZING cold ice water to get to my car..... miserable!! My toes were so cold when I got in the car!! At least the drive home was not as scary as the drive there!!

Something else I am not ready for...... our nation to become Socialist. But, there's not a whole lot that I can do now, but cross my fingers, and maybe build myself a fallout shelter!!

That being said, I do need to say how thrilled I am to have lived through a historic moment. I think it's cool that racial barriers have been broken and we have our first African American president.

And the last thing I am just not ready for, the end of the semester. Now, this does not mean that I want the semester to go on for another 10 weeks (because I am SO ready to be that much closer to graduation), but I still have so much to do before it ends!! I have so many projects, papers, lessons and observations to do in the next 5 weeks!! Somehow it will all get done!! It may mean some all nighters, but I may not have any other choice!!

Testing Testing

So I got on YouTube and searched Twilight (I know, I know! I'm sorry people, but it is seriously like an addiction for me!!!) and found some of the TV spots of the Twilight trailer. I am trying to figure out how to post video right in my blog, so here's to hoping it works!

AHHHHHHH!!! IT WORKED, IT WORKED, IT WORKED!!! I cannot tell you how excited I am about this!! I had to do some crazy things to get it to work, but FINALLY!!! WAHOO!!

THANKS again Lindsay!! You are awesome!!

Best 8 Minutes of My Day

All I can say is THANK GOODNESS FOR THE ROME FILM FESTIVAL!!!! They showed EIGHT whole minutes of Twilight!!! It is SO awesome!! I spent way to much time watching it yesterday and I'm sure I will do the same thing today!!!

**I'm sorry for all the screaming girls!! They sounds pretty

crazy!! And the sound quality is not that great, but I still

love watching it!!**

And here is the short clip that was posted on MSN the other day!! It's the lunchroom scene. It's short, but sweet!! Only 16 days to go!!

And I also have to say DON'T FORGET TO VOTE TODAY!!!

Halloween

Halloween this year was lots of fun!! My department at work tries to dress up in themes and this year we decided to do Batman and Villains. My manager was great and agreed to be the Caped Crusader and we also had someone dressed like Robin. As for the villains, we had Harley Quinn, The Joker, Two Face and Poison Ivy. It's was funny to watch people walk into a credit union and see us all dressed up!! It was also fun to walk through the building and look at what everyone else was dressed as. The tellers were punk rockers and the tech department dressed as 50's girls. I think one of my favorite costumes though was a lady in our collections department. She took a Life cereal box and stuck a bunch of plastic knives in it and became a "cereal" killer!! Haha!!

I also love Halloween because it means pumpkin carving!! This year, I carved a total of five pumpkins. I took my three alien pumpkins to work and I won a prize for them! Wahoo!! At home, I had a funny face pumpkin and a pirate pumpkin! At my house we also have The Great Pumpkin!! My grandparents grew giant pumpkins in there garden this year and we were lucky enough to get one of them. It is HUGE and it's so fun to see it sitting in front of our house!!

On Halloween night I went to a dance with my friends Michelle and VaLon in Taylorsville. It was pretty fun and even more fun to just act silly. There were some pretty interesting people there..... pizza box, hot and ready boy (WEIRD), some flip flops and an car freshener!! One of the weirdest though was a group of girls that dressed up like Troll dolls. They had on skin colored body suits, stuffed with pillows with bum cracks drawn on them. It was so weird! My favorite though was the guy dressed at Sherlock Holmes!! Haha :0)

P.S. THANK YOU Lindsay for giving me tips on how to post video!! You're awesome!!

P.P.S Everyone should read my "Remember When" post and should play along!!

and one last thing......

VOTE VOTE VOTE tomorrow. And guess what.... only 17 days to Twilight!!

Only 20 days!!

So I know it is Halloween and I should be doing some kind of fun Halloween post with all my cool pictures that I have taken today, but the night is still young! So I decided to leave that for tomorrow!!
Instead, I thought I'd post some stuff from, what else... TWILIGHT!! There are only TWENTY days left people!! And I still have that extra ticket if someone wants it!!
The other day, I saw a really cool preview for the movie on TV. It was the final Twilight preview, with a twist!! A really awesome twist!! There was some stuff from the Port Angeles scene, but my favorite.... Edward (***sigh***) playing Bella's lullaby!! AHHHHHH!! It was SO awesome!! So I have been searching the web trying to find it, and now luck. But I found a this really cool video that has pieces of clips, some old, some new. Check it out!

(Again you are just going to have to go to the YouTube website because I

ABSOLUTELY do not get how you embed videos!! People keep telling

me to just copy and paste the embed code thing, but it never works!

It only copies part of the stupid, long thing and I can NEVER get it

to work!! If ANY ONE has any tips of how to solve my stupid

problem, I would LOVE to hear them!!)

And for those of you that don't have the movie Penelope, here is the cute clip that is previewed before the movie!!

So, that is it for the day!! Haha, I can hear Angee right now "Jeez, you are obsessed with it girl!!" Haha!! Angee you are awesome!! It's almost here though, and then I swear I will stop blogging about it (with the exception of the one blog taking about how totally AWESOME it was), haha!!

P.S. Have a SPOOK-TACULAR Halloween!!

Hope Your Not Sick of Twilight News!!

Okay, so I just got on the internet to check my email and what do I see on the MSN homepage??? A new clip from Twilight!! Wahoo!! It seriously made my day!!
It's really short but it's still awesome!! I have been trying to find a way to post a link or something, but it's just not working for me (yeah... I am totally technologically challenged... sad I know).
So if you got to MSN, go into the videos section and click on movies. You should be able to find it in there somewhere! If you have watched the newest trailer, there is part where Bella knocks an apple off the counter and Edward (****sigh****) catches it is his hands (totally awesome referance to the books amazing cover). It's an extension of that scene.
Like I said, short and sweet, but still so much fun to watch!!

All New!!

So a few days ago I got an email from my awesome friend Danielle about how the LA Times is doing a countdown everyday to Twilight with stories, pictures and videos!! So I just got on so I could read today's story and I couldn't find it. But while I was looking for it I saw the Twilight trailer on T.V.!! It was so awesome!! I know I have already watched it a million times and basically have it memorized, but it never gets old!
Anyway, while I was searching for the Twilight stuff, I saw a link for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Since I wasn't finding anything about Twilight I decided to click on it, and guess what I found..... A BRAND NEW TRAILER!! It is so cool and makes me so excited for the next 200+ days to go by fast!! Check it out!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZFitUCO_pk ***(I'm really lame and don't get how you just "embed" the video in your blog, so you will just have to go to YouTube to see it!!)***

And if you haven't seen the first trailer, you should watch that one too!!!

And now back to Twilight!! Did you know that there are only TWENTY THREE days until it hits theaters!! I am SO excited about it!! I actually bought tickets to opening night this weekend so I am all set!! I actually have an extra ticket if any one is interested in it!! Let me know!!
And guess what... while I was on the awesome La Times website, I found out that on November 7th, Catherine Hardwicke (the movies director), Robert Pattinson (ahhhh, Edward) and Kristen Stewart (Bella) will be doing a question and answer thing about the movie in LA. The best part... they will be showing new footage from the movie!! I am hoping that some awesome person out there will be posting it on YouTube!!
