And the winner of the build a bear give-a-way contest is...drum roll please... JENI...COMMENTER #15 on the blog. YAY!
Jeni, if you will email me directly at Angie@AngelicaGraceDesigns.com with your address, we'll give it to the build-a-bear PR reps who will be shipping your winning animal to you. Thanks so much to all of you who played along. I love these give-a-ways and hope that each of you do as well.
For now...I'm off with Brennen and my Mom to finally go see "NEW MOON" at the theater. Due to the move, we missed the opening premiere. I have been dying to see it but just haven't had the chance until now. Kenidi is staying in with Daddy for the night while the three of us go see it this evening. Needless to say, Brennen and I are beyond excited. He loved Twilight as much as I did. We've been rooting our "undefeated" Indianapolis Colts on from afar today and are now ready to go and take in some "Edward" for the night. :)
Well, I'm on the last book. Breaking Dawn. Ever heard of it? Wink wink ;0) I'm about a quarter of a way in. Please excuse my absence while I savor the final few chapters of Edward and Bella's world. I had a huge, long, post written up about this. About Twilight, about Edward, about me hiding out with a flash light, under my down comforter Sunday night until 4am Monday morning while finishing up the final few pages of book #3 - just like a kid at camp, etc. I had the post all done here on the blog and went to hit publish...then my computer locked up on me. I lost everything. Lost it all. I'm sure you can imagine how "beyond ticked" I was after sitting there typing all of it out. Normally blogger saves as you type. Of course this time, it didn't! It wasn't a pretty sight. So, I'm just going to leave you with this mental picture instead...
Back to Edward and Bella's world for now. Well, maybe after I go pay some bills anyway. Ha ha! And for those of you who mimic the thoughts I used to have up until two weeks ago about this whole Twilight saga...about how it was all so stupid and so ridiculous??? I urge you to go get the movie. Follow my instructions here...I won't steer you wrong. Never have before, have I? So...go get the movie. Watch it at least twice. Maybe even a third time. Back to back. Yes, like three nights in a row or something. Then, go buy the Twilight books and read all four of them. I promise you that you'll never be the same. I'm not a book reader but I've read two thousand four hundred and forty-five pages over the past week. From last Tuesday until today. Like Brent said to me, I've read more in one week then I've read since 3rd grade. And he is right. I have! And I've loved every minute of it. You will too. Just trust me on this. Go get the movie. Watch it 2-3 times in a row. Identify with the visual pictures of the characters/cast. Then go get those books. I mean it, do it! You'll thank me later! :)
