We Like Ellen! (Well, Sort of...)

But we really love Ronda and Ashley!




Yesterday I got a phone call and it went something like this...
"Hi Barbara, You know how we went to the Ellen Degeneres show today? Well, she gave out copies of Twilight and we got three of them so my Mom thought you might like one." Me: "Aiiiiigh! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS REALLY???? THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUUUUUCCCCHHHHHH!" yeah. Screaming. lots of screaming. Ashley "Um Mom, she's screaming." (I'm sure she heard me! hee hee) Anyway, a few hours later these dear women brought me, 2 days before the release...TWILIGHT! Ashley loves the book and movie too and even has this huge poster...lucky lady!! Liz and Wendy rushed over before they'd left and then Wen, Liz and I watched TWILIGHT! (Do I come across as excited? Because I really kinda am!!!!)

Tonight Liz and I are going to Borders to do the 10pm to Midnight release party, then tomorrow we're having a release party of our own! We've had 25 Twi-peeps rsvp "yes" so it should be really fun!

Hope you're all having a Fang-tastic Friday!!!!! Thank you Ronda and Ashley! And Thank you Ellen!

Disneyland pics from January 09

In January Mike went to Disneyland with his beautiful daughter. I had sent him with a disposable camera, but they rarely get used up (unless I'm holding it) so I sent it with our oldest on his recent scout campout and he took a few....but it still wasn't done. *sigh* So, I walked around, shot poorly lit photos of the outside of our house, and then had it developed. I was so surprised to see these pictures! Sooooooo, I thought I'd share. Mike said that they had a really fun time together and I am so glad. Love you both!

Twilight

Have you read Twilight yet?

I am really excited that the "not-as-good-as-the-book-but-I-can-accept-that" movie is coming out on dvd this Friday night. I'm planning to go to a store's late night release party....then I'm looking forward to partying & watching it with a few Twi-peeps on Saturday. That will be my focus for the next two days....cleaning, coming up with games for a release party, and just being excited to see some friends that I really don't see nearly enough. If you haven't read Twilight, you could have it done in a day - if you are are "reader" or not. I'd say go check it out of the library but most have long wait lists on it. But I really do think you'd love it! Is anyone else out there doing anything for it?

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Mr. W is going to school today wearing this rockin' St. Paddy's day hat and Squish is just sportin' a shamrock sticker (& 2 teeny shamrock stickers on his shoes.) We hope you have a great green day!

Facebook

What is it about Facebook? Is it that we can find old friends that we'd lost? Is it that it's fun to see how people's lives have turned out? Is it just that we need one more thing to keep track of? I'm having the hardest time remembering to blog. I even forgot I had email for a few days! Yikes! Anyway, I'm curious about what your take on it is. (And hey, friend me when you're done! hee hee!)
