Twilight Caze

Okay, I know what you are thinking. She likes Twilight?!?!



Is she alright in the head?!



Yes, I am.



I only read the first book on the recommendation of a good friend.
I thought it was just another dumb chick flick, a simple teenage romance, but my friend said there was more to it than on the surface. I read it and loved it. I liked it so much, I was up 'til 3am on a weekday reading it! It was a little hard to function the next day, but it was worth it.

The story is an emotional roller coaster at times, but I didn't mind; this was what the character was feeling and helped explain her motivations.


Overall, I would recommend it to 16 (depends on the maturity level) and older. There is no garbage in it, but some of the situations are for a maturer reader. The coolest thing about the book is that one of the themes is self control. Edward, the vampire, refuses to "sleep" with Bella. Later on in another book, we find out it is because he has old-fashion values and wants to do things in the right order. A chivalrous guy, how cool is that?

So what happens when you discover there is more.....

to life than being on the internet?
Well, you certainly don't use the blog much. You get more reading done. You get more sleep. You actually have a life...........I'm still working on that one................more time for work. UGH.

So....


My bothers just got home from college and are almost certain they want to upgrade our internet connection. I think this might be a good thing. I could then use the internet from home and actually write on my blog, etc. Hmm.
I'm going to take a boat load of kids to see Prince Caspian next week. We can't wait!!! Which reminds me, I need to check for movie times.
