Book Report

Well, I finished the Stephenie Meyer's Twighlight series books, and I loved them!! I was captivated enough to finish all three books (all over 500 pages) in about a week and a half. I feel a little guilty about my motherliness in that week and a half, but needless to say, no one starved to death, so my kids aren't too scarred. All three books were good, but I think I liked the first one best. I think I tried to identify with Bella the most- comparing myself in my mind with her averageness, and clumsiness. And, of course, wondering if I would have fallen for Edward in High School. Um, yes, I would have, no question. And then, wondering what I would have done when I found out that he was a vampire. And then, slowly coming back to reality, I realized that here in the Real World there are no vampires. But, I have to admit, I was sucked in so far, that the line was blurred between the Real World and Forks, Washington. Which is why I think I really loved these books. Were you ever in Walmart or driving down the street and saw someone and thought, "If there were real vampires, that guy definitely would belong to the club." Anyway, if you haven't read them, do. I can't wait for the next book to come out. It's only a whole year, right? And, I will go crazy (in a good way) when a movie comes out. I hear it's in the works. So, here is my poll...what actors would you vote for the different roles? Comment back and let me know. Here are my votes...
Bella...I don't know her name, but she is Julie, the coaches daughter, on Friday Night Lights.
Edward...this one is harder, but, my guess today is the main guy from High School Musical
I don't know, I'll probably change my mind.

This is for you, Dad...

I have to make a quick change to my hunting rant blog... I wrote that my dad has only gone deer hunting once. And, it was very funny, the next time I saw him he was very quick to tell me that he has gone hunting several times after that. He never shot anything...but, he did go. So, I apologize, dad- You are a Hunting Manly Man.
