MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We're headed up to New Hampshire and Maine for the Holidays and before we go I just wanted to wish everyone, a Merry Christmas and Happy NewYear! 

:-)

Well I wasn't dissapointed! Twilight wasn't exactly like the book which of course is to be expected but it was still amazing! Though I really wish they had put in the biology blood typing scene and I do wish they did the meadow scene the way it was in the book but aside from that, it was wonderful!

I am very excited that they are making New Moon! I love that book, even if it does make me cry every single time I read it. I'm sure it wont be out until 2010 so it's going to be a very long anticipated wait!

Big Day!

Ok I'm going to act like a teenager again for a moment.

I'm just very excited for Twilight tonight, I can hardly contain myself. I'm sure my daughter was having a blast earlier dancing around the room with me, I'm glad she isn't old enough to be embarrassed by me yet lol.

The Boston Premier isn't going to happen however, well I mean yes it's still on but we're not going. Kelly had free passes but they couldn't be used to purchase tickets online and they were selling out fast and so by the time C got out of work and I left here it would probably be 4:30 and I'd get to her college around 5 and then with weekend traffic, Boston traffic, and Twilight traffic we would probably get there late and it would most likely be sold out.

I have however promised Kelly that even if she begs me, that I will not spoil the movie for her....even though I'll really want to talk about it lol.

* dances and prances about the room*

Ok * composes self* time to act my age again lol.

I hope everyone who is going to see the Advanced screening of Twilight tonight loves it!!! and I hope everyone who see it tomorrow loves it as well!!!

Twilight!!!! - I'm going to act like a teenager for a moment

I'm very excited for tomorrow night, I am going to see the Advance Screening of Twilight!!! I am thrilled to pieces!

I might be going to see the Boston Premier with my friend Kelly Friday night but we're still talking about it. I'm hoping that we can! Kellan Lutz who plays Emmett Cullen is supposed to be there and it would be very cool to meet him!!!

Last Friday Robert Pattinson who plays Edward Cullen, was in Boston at Hot Topics. I was going to go with Kelly and her friend to see him and I really wanted to get an autograph, but I had heard that when he was in L.A that people had gotten trampled and there were some broken bones happening and it freaked me out, then Kelly told me that 5,000 people were expected at the Boston signing and as much as I would have loved to have gone and gotten his signature, I was nervious about the crowd situation and since I have my little Princess to take care of, it wouldn't be a smart parental move on my behalf if I went after knowing what happened in L.A and ended up getting hurt and wouldn't be able to take care of my daughter.

I sound like a teenager here but I am just so excited!!!! This book series is amazing and the cast choices are amazing, I had a hard time picturing Edward Cullens face until I saw the who was playing him and now when I read the books I get to picture Rob's dreamy face.
Ok back to acting my age

Terrible Twos really are...Terrible

 new Taylor Swift album came out today and I must say that I am loving it! It's really hard to decide which song I like best. I can relate to almost all of them.

In other exciting news! 9 days until the twilight movie comes to theaters! The book saga/ Movie has been all my friends and I have talked about since June. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this anticipated movie lives up to the amazing book.

We've had a busy couple of weeks around here, I've recently learned about the terrible twos...well of course I've always known but I just assumed (hoped, prayed, begged) that my unusually well behaved Angel would you know just skip that stage, I didn't think I'd have to worry but I was wrong, at 21 months my sweet little Angel proved to me that not only was she not going to skip the terrible twos but she was also going to start early.

Woe is me, never in my life have I ever felt the urge to sit in the corner and cry until now. Watching my child throw herself down on the floor in a screaming fit after telling her "becareful", well it's a scary thing.
She isn't even easing me into the terrible twos either, she just went full on having four or five tantrums a day.

It's because she started sleeping through the night from day one isn't it?! Is it because she started saying please and thank you without being prompted at an early age?!

She's writing...no way

'm not very good when it comes to blogging, not that I ever said I would be but somewhere deep inside I hoped that I would be a much better blogger then I am.

However instead of dwelling on something that I can only hope to fix, let me tell you what I have been doing since the last entry.


I went home for the wedding of Bryan and Penny close friends of C and I.

While home we made a stop at the Fryeburg Fair

After we returned from our home away from home, I set off with my cousin to Maryland to rescue my baby sister and what an adventure it was.

a few days ago we took Peanut to get her first pumkin and she had a blast.


I then for the first time in years went to a concert with some friends, in above picture is L-R Top row Krystle, bottom row Kelly and Amanda.

We saw Hanson two days in a row, we spent the night before the first concert parked at a Shell station, harrassing the employees....of course it was all in good fun and since we spent at least $30 on energy drinks and other snacks that night, they didn't mind one bit.

.....The next night we stayed at Kelly's dorm and I will tell you that I am glad that even though I am a beauty school drop out (yes I said it, I wouldn't trust myself to cut anyone's hair), I am glad that it I went to one of those schools you just drive to everyday....even if it was two hours both ways because I would not be able to hack it in a dorm.

This is myself with one of Hansons opening bands, Everybody else
Austin, Carrick, and Mikey.

I didn't get any pictures with Dave Barnes or his band nor with Hanson however, a friend got a couple of pictures of Isaac (the eldest Hanson) talking to my daughter. No I didn't bring her to the concerts don't worry but C and his Dad brought her to see me while they went to bass pro shop.

{Again no picture}
A few days later I managed to do something I never thought I would be able to do. I drove into Boston. Now I hadn't really driven in a long time because I lived in the city and went through this whole thing when I was pregnant and then after I had my daughter where I was scared of everything....seriously I hardly left the house.

So to drive into Boston was a pretty big deal to me. I of course made it out just fine.

The next day my bestfriend Heather and I went to one of the mansions, the Marble house and it was better then I thought it was going to be.

Peanut wandered all over as if the backyard were her own. I decided I'd have to get a membership to the newport mansions since it was $50 a year, I could go whenever I wanted and that way I could daydream that I lived in one of those grand houses lol and take pictures of my child playing in the backyards.

Yeah I think she'd get used to it lol.

{No picture though I should stop being lazy}
I finally got a library card and on my desk right now are 16 books waiting to be finished and returned....I have several more on hold at the library...it's a sickness and I desire no cure.

Then last night we took Peanut trick or treating for the first time. She enjoyed it and had a blast. Of course most of her candy went to me not because I'm a bad mother who enjoys eating her childs hard earned candy but because most of it contained Peanut Butter which C is allergic to and well there is a good chance Peanut is too....wow I should give her a new nickname huh...never thought about it...Peanut might be allergic to Peanuts....
She may not be but I didn't want to give her any and find out the hard way that she is.



So now you know what I have been up to...I make no promises on when I will update but I promise that it will happen.

My Breaking Dawn Review

Breaking Dawn is the 4th book in the Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer and I have to tell you that it was amazing.
I had gone through the first three books disliking the character Jacob Black with a passion but after reading Breaking Dawn, I no longer dispise him, and you can thank the storyline for that.

Breaking Dawn was everything I hoped it would be and more. There was Love, Drama, Surprises, and Conflict. I could easly feel the powerful love that Edward and Bella shared.

Stephenie Meyer is truely amazing and talented and I cannot wait to read Midnight Sun (Edwards P.O.V of Twilight).

How to get rid of telemarketers

I'm sick of telemarketers, we no longer have vonage and our number is on the national do not call list but apparently it takes awhile to kick in. Anywho I've been annoyed by telemarketers since we moved here. Mainly from the Boston Globe but this time...no this time it was Dish Network and you know if I wanted Dish network then I would contact them.

Anyway the other day I had made a list of things to say to telemarketers, different things I had found online and for three days not one telemarketer called, until today. Yes my friends today I got to scare the pants of a telemarketer.

He called from Dish Network and I let him talk for a minute and then said in a loud panic voice, "Dan Is that you?! Quit dicking around, did you find the chainsaw or not, we have to get rid of the body" and then....there was silence and a click.
*BOWS*

How about Eclipse

Well I was half right, I finished Eclipse around 3:30 this morning. I'm sure I would have finished it sooner but I was having a love/hate relationship with that book. I loved the story line but there are few parts where I felt like screaming at the main character "noooo what is wrong with you?!"

All I can say, is that I cannot wait until August 2nd when Breaking Dawn comes out :-D

and then there was new moon

No the cloud and sunset have nothing to do with my post but I was just amazed with how well the picture came out when I took it the other day.

New Moon, the sequel to Twilight is just as amazing and intense as it's predecessor. I have less then 60 pages to go and plan on finishing it after this post. I just wanted to let you know I was still around and that though my attention has been captured by this wonderful series, that I was still thinking of you all enough to write hehehe. Also the 4th book Breaking Dawn wont be out til August so I'll be back with regular posts after I finish Eclipse which will probably be saturday.

Lost In...Twilight

Have you ever opened a book and found it extreamly hard to put it down?! A book so amazing that you finished the thick almost 500 page book in a total of 8 hours reading time?!

I used to be able to do that long ago, but in recent years I found it hard to be completely memorized by a good book, that is Until Twilight.

I had heard about this book from my friend Shanna, "You NEED to read this book" she told me, "They are making a movie about it". I wasn't so sure about it at first, vampire books really aren't my cup of tea. So I watched the movie trailer and thought..."wow this could be good". I went to my favorite place in the whole wide world, Barnes and Noble. They had a copy there that CM's mom decided to get me after hearing me talk about it forever.

This book is so amazingly insane that I finished in, like I said in a total of 8 reading hours. Went back to B&N last night and picked up New Moon and Eclipes, the sequels. Reserved a copy of Breaking Dawn, which is coming out in August and I'm anxiously waiting for the release date of Midnight Sun.

Now I leave you to read my almost half finished copy of New Moon.

Those last three boxes

Why is it, that after moving that those last three boxes of random stuff to unpack always takes forever. I'll admit I procrastinate, I'd much rather hand wash a hundred dishes or bite my arm off instead of unpacking those last three "I can't find a home for this or this" boxes.

How I ever found a place for it all in our teeny tiny apartment I'll never know. Luckly for me however, we have a basement here which is about the size of our old apartment if not a bit bigger. That's where the rest of the " I have no place to go" Items are. I have a feeling these three boxes will join there friends.

Random bits o' information

Here are just some random facts about your's truely while I upload a picture

1. I love earthy colors. Blues, Greens, and Brown.


2. Books are my guilty pleasure


3. I'd like to take pictures professionaly but I'm not sure how to get started


4. Nicolas Cage has a house less then 5 miles away.


5. I've seen it


6. from afar


7. I'd like to give web design a go as well


8. Here is the picture

I took it yesterday when we were showing my dad around....it's only HALF of the mansion lol.

I'm Back

Yes I know I just had a blog here but I figured since I moved and no longer live in the city that I would just start a new one. Oh I know I could have just changed the look and title of my old blog but I thought, "why not make a fresh new blog for the new life."

So here it is, my new blog (btw my old one was CountryGirlCityLife).

For an update.

I obviously no longer live in Florida, we traveled over 1,200 miles and are no in Rhode Island, but not just Rhode Island, I live on an actual Island in RI.

I find the people here very nice and we were lucky enough to find a small 2 bedroom duplex with a large yard surrounded by trees and shrubs, close to CM's Work. The whole area is beautiful and peaceful. There are many little farms around which have petting zoo's and sell produce. I truely love the area and I am very happy we settled here instead of Colorado.

I have pictures from my trip to post.







No face pictures this time sorry.

On the trip I did learn however:

• That I should not be in charge of the GPS
• That unless Men are actually riding in the same car as a 15 month old, they will not understand the need to stop and take a break from the loud scretching.
• That Singing the Wonder Pets theme song will calm my daughter down after a tramatic event (she fell of the bed at a hotel and got a rug burn on her nose)
• and that we have way too much stuff.

All and all we had a fun trip and now that I live in a wonderful area (an Island WOO!) I'll have things to write about.

Sorry there are no hula dancers or tropical music here, so I hope you wont be expecting that.
