Thanksgiving and a Taste of Twilight

Thanksgiving and Black Friday

My Thanksgiving was very nice. We went to my moms for dinner. She is the best cook I know. Thanks mom for having us. My G & G (Grandma & Grandpa) came over and hung out a while then we all went home so that mom and I could wake up WAY to early for some shopping. So Friday morning at 3:15 the alarm went off. YIKES way to early. So I put on some comfy pants, sweatshirt and my vest and headed out in the rain. Before making my first shopping stop to Wal-Mart I had to stop for some coffee. then off to Wal-Mart, it was PACKED We had to park in the very back of the parking lot at 3:45 mind you. In we went to the CRAZY CRAZY mobs. I found a few good deals, not the ones we were looking for but it was still worth it. Then over to Sears (can't really say what I bought, don't know who could be reading this) then up to RC Willey to hopefully get the $69.99 4G I - Pod Nano. Well we pulled up an there was a line a lot around the building and they only had 48 per store. So seeing as it was raining we didn't want to wait if there wasn't a chance of us getting it so my mom went up the line yelling "Who's here for the I-Pod?" Not kidding you almost everyone there wanted the I-Pod they were all screwed. So off to Old Navy. Then to Circuit City (where I think I got my best deal of the day, again can't say) Then home to eat and take a long nap. Then about 11:00 my dad called he wanted me to go look at a table at Shopko (more shopping) then off to lunch. By this time I swear it should have been like 6:00 pm but no it was only lunch time.


Twilight
So we (my mom and sisters and niece and Kylee ended up coming) have been planning on seeing this movie together for EVER! It finally came. So I have mixed feelings about it. I liked it but I also disliked it. I really need to see it again. I just felt they left out way to much. I loved Bella, I think Edward will grow on me. So I am wondering what all of you thought of it.

I can't believe you woke up so early on Friday!! Crazy lady.

I loved, loved, loved Twilight. Nothing will ever compare to reading the books because there is so much detail and you can picture the characters and setting just as you want them to be. But I am in deep love with Edward, I think his mouth is so perfectly vampire-like. They left a lot out but I guess they have to in order to fit it all into a manageable amount of time for a movie. That's the down side. But I think for me, it couldn't get any better except for the movie playing in my own mind! I've seen it twice now... loved it just as much the second time. You definitely need to go see it again!! But... a lot of people I know didn't llike it that much... so I guess it just depends! I also know a lot of people who never read the books but saw the movie and now they are reading the books and LOVE it.
