Twilight

Living out my Twilight obsession in my new jewelry ;)

I know I am a huge dork, but....

Ok, yeah yeah yeah. I know I'm too old. I know this is embarrasing. I know I should be ashamed of myself. But that said...I have a huge crush on Edward Cullen. *Sigh* I have confessed...I feel better now. At least I have my 14 year old neighbor to gush over him with. (*red face*)

Anyone else want to share their inappropriate crush so I can feel better about myself?

The "Cougar"

Ladies...how old do we have to be now to be in the "cougar" classification? I saw a preview on t.v. just the other night about a show featuring...you guessed it..."cougars" and 20 something men. Now mind you these women were gorgeous and looked to be about 30-35 MAX. This whole cougar thing perplexes me...

I saw Drew Barrymore on a talk show the other day and she said women in their late 40's were cougars and that the 30 something crowd are now pumas. What what?? Is it just me or is this whole cougar thing out of hand?

I began thinking about this topic because a neighbor of mine (male, 40) was giving me a hard time about seeing the Twilight movie(See post below). He said...and I quote "Only two types of people see Twilight. Teens and cougars. I will let you figure out which one you are". After a gasp of shock I looked at him and squeeled..."Are you calling me a cougar?" Him: Raises eyebrows, silence. Me: Really?! A COUGAR? Him: Snickers, silence. Me: No Really...tell me...I'm too young. I'm only 35. Him: starting to laugh. Me: Staring...(plotting his slow painful death in my mind) ........and that was that. The first time I was ever called a cougar.

So what do you think about this whole cougar thing? Offended by it? Proud of it? Should it have clear age specifications?

While I am waiting for comments I will go slather on some more anti-aging face creams...just in case.

Twilight books....

Ahhh Twilight...what can I say?! I am embarrased to admit I am a huge fan of the entire series. As a matter of fact I managed to read all the books (6-700+ pages each) in a matter of 2 weeks. This is no small task when you have twin toddlers at home.
The books are like an addiction. I was a crazy person. All I could think about was Edward and Bella...Oh my, what will happen next?? Like a bad soap opera..the books suck you in and don't let go.
Now mind you I am a 35 year old woman. (This is gettting embarrasing) I had Edward fantasies. I started comparing my husband to Edward. I would think "Edward would help me do the dishes, wash the dog, wipe poopy butts." Why is my husband just sitting on the couch?
It gets worse...I saw the movie twice. Me and fifty 14 year old girls...sitting in the theater...all squeeling with joy and anticipation. My (male 40) friend told me only two types of people go to see the Twilight movie. "Teen girls and Cougars...I'll let you figure out which one you are." I reply "A COUGAR?!...At 35??"
Whatever....that is a whole different story.
My point is I love Twilight...and I will not hide it any longer. They are fun books. They are an escape. They give us the fairytale we all want to hear. In the hectic life of a mom....what the heck is wong with that?!
