A true highlight of my weekend was renting Twilight and painting my nails while Joe had a guys night. Surprisingly, he and his brother did not do the same.
I realize this Twilight confession lumps me into cliques of 14-year-old girls who have also been swept up by the series but it's true. I read all four novels in nine days last fall and was dying to see the movie despite the fact it's about vampires.
Actually, the use of the word "dying" is a bit of a stretch considering I wasn't willing to pay $9 to see it in the theater and, since I used a Redbox code, it apparently wasn't even worth $1 to me.
The movie lived up to all my expectations of poor acting, cheesy editing and cartoon-ish white-faced actors. So of course I watched it twice in one night.
In my defense, I like it more for the high school love story than the vampires. On second thought, that's not much of a defense, is it?
Lest you think my life is perfect, let me tell you what went wrong this weekend. First, I was sick so all my napping was medicinal, not just laziness. Well, maybe it was medicinal laziness but necessary nonetheless. I am feeling much better thanks for sleep and multiple movie viewings.
Second, I had the potty-training version of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" stuck in my head all weekend long.
"Don't put your toy in the toilet
or it's probably gonna spoil it
and your mom'll have to boil it
the toilet is for poop"
Madeline loves this book but it's starting to get on my nerves. I will never hear that glorious, patriotic song the same again.
So my life is not all peaches and rainbows. I think I just proved that quite clearly. Now I need to put the laptop down to watch "The Celebrity Apprentice" in an attempt to salvage what is left of this weekend.

I sure hope you're feeling better! Sometimes, when you are sick, taking a nap is so much more important than doing yet ANOTHER load of laundry or fixing dinner. And while I'm not interested in Twilight, there's nothing wrong with a few guilty pleasures now and then :).
If you are using Celebrity Apprentice to "salvage," I'd say your weekend is already shot!
Love you, miss you, hope you feel better!
Im with ya Katie! I love twilight, I have read all 4 books...more than once, lol and of course I did go buy the movie with the deleted and extended scenes! :-)
