whatever, Madonna....and Vampires...

I was actually going to write something about how I just read online that Madonna is 50 and she looks 30. Then I decided that it would just make me loose the spirit of extreme good will that I constantly, always, consistently bear toward all human kind....

yeah.
so I knew right after I bit my first oreo cakester that my life would change. I knew when people told me not to eat nutella or I wouldn't ever be able to stop eating it that I should steer clear and I have. I knew when folks told me not to to read the vampire books that I shouldn't do it. I heard they were not well written and used a series of 8 or 9 adjectives at the exclusion of all others (ie, velvety, devastating, statue-like...). I'm all about books so I knew there would be enough to read without jumping heedlessly on the fanat-o-wagon.
Then something happened.
I went to the movie and I was like, "these people are really pale...maybe I'm a vampire?" then I thought that the dad of the vampires was hugely better looking than the main vampire and realized that I was in my 30's.
THEN we sent my car to this dude who straightens out creases in cars (since Gabriel pulled into the garage and scraped the big trash can against the whole driver's side).
When we got the car back there was no crease in the side and a copy of the first twilight book on the passenger seat.
I asked everybody...'did you put this book in my car? how did this book get in my car?" then the inevitable ensued.

i opened it.

I read it on wednesday. Thursday I went to wal mart and bought the 2nd on and read all 563 pages that day.

I now have a problem. People with addictive personalities do not need to eat highly sugared fad foods and they do not need to have the ingredients for mexican wedding cookies on hand at all times and they MOST CERTAINLY do NOT need to start reading highly elusive, poorly written, sink their nails in and hook your mind to them Vampire books!!!

my babies got their ears pierced for valentine's day. Initially I thought that particular part of Mexican culture was barbaric and whatever but now that they look so adorable I have decided any other female offspring will be pierced in infancy....They have these little sparkly rubies and they feel so beautiful....I thought for sure it would change their attitudes somehow or make them better behaved or something but they're just the same folks....accessorized.

Let's let by-gones be by-gones, ok? So I didn't write for 3 1/2 months...
so?
love me anyway!!!

I've been wondering where you have been...

When I watched the movie I also thought that you might also be a vampire, or that you'd make a better vampire than those used in the movie and almost called Gabriel so that he could keep you close...but then I started thinking that he might actually be a werewolf...so I didn't get involved.

Love you anyway.. but oh so grateful to read another Erin post. I loved hearing about your new obsession because I jumped on the wagon a long time ago very skeptical as well and now... well its pathetic.

Welcome back! I hope that life is treating you good.. I never read.. and thought that the books got more painful as each book passed.. but I was addicted and read them too! So not like me :)

AHHH!! Welcome back and of course we love/stalk you! I even asked my family members (your neighbors) to see if you were prego knowing that there had to be a perfectly good reason for your blogging sabbatical. :) I hope that didn't start any crazy rumors.

I completely agree about the whole vampire fan-o-matic thing. However, I confess, if it was even a remote possibility to publish my poorly written stories and make a ton of money and a movie I would.

Please post some pictures of those sparkly princess girls of yours!

thanks, flarnkie!

Kim - if you've read the books you know that those werewolves can't tell you anything but you can guess...I guess Gabriel's out of the were-closet :)

Britt and Kristine - addiction isn't pretty is it?

Ange - rest assured that if I were pregnant there would be music and pictures and bold fonts and joy and rejoicing...when I know you'll know...

look how everybody still loves you!

Hooray! I was so happy to have something to read that you wrote. I love the way you put things into words.

About the earrings. I have also always thought that it was completely crazy to pierce baby ears. But MAN OH MAN, the closer I get to knowing if my baby is a boy or girl, the more I think that if it is a girl I'm going to pierce her ears. What happened?

Missurus Sanchez, welcome back! Let me know when you're ready to read the last book and I'll bring it on over, unless you've already stayed up to accomplish that one. We miss you and your sparkling Rubies!

I think I am going let Zina get her ears pierced this spring. It's just too cute and she has BEGGED me for 2 years now.

As for Madonna ... what did Guy Ritchie say about sleeping with her? Something about doing it with a charred piece of flank steak. Ouch!
