COUNTDOWN to TWILIGHT

Only 5 days left and I still do not have a t-shirt or tickets. If tickets are sold out I am gonna be
one VERY UNHAPPY person. Who hasn't gotten their tickets yet? Am I the only one? Well I know I am not. The person I am going with does not have hers yet. She isn't as much into it as I
am. I put an invite to everyone at work in their mailboxes to join us on Friday to see the movie. SO many of them have no clue what Twilight (books/movie) is. I had to clue some of them in. Maybe someone will be interested enough to join us. I borrowed (still have not bought my own, holding out to get the boxed set) "Twilight" again so I can read it again before the movie on Friday. Who else is reading it again?
SO excited.

I am a Twilight freak right about now

If you have not read these books, you absolutely HAVE to. They are sooooo awesome. They are
geared towards teenagers, but us old ladies are so in love with them. Stephenie Meyers is such an awesome writer. All 4 of her books (plus the 5th one that she isn't sure she will finish cause some jerk leaked it on the internet) are wonderful. I know what some of you will say, "It's about Vampires-YUK", but they are GOOD. The Cullen family are GOOD Vampires. The do not drink
human blood. Even if you are against evil things like this, you will still love it. I know many Christians that love the books. I can't get into what the books are about, I am just not that good
at describing things. But if you scroll down and look to the right you will see tons of blogs/websites and there are alot about Twilight. You can read more about the books and movie there. The movie "Twilight" comes out November 21st and some of us from work are going to see it. We are going to the 4:15 showing. If you would like to tag along, send me a message. I can also send you an Evite invite. I will also go see the movie any other time. As long as I have the money to go. I will go see it over and over and over again. Have you seen the commercials yet? They started playing them on Monday. I even have the first one DVR'd. LOL. I am a freak for Twilight. Oh and I am team EDWARD of course. I like Jacob, but Edward is the "Man". LOL
Edward is played by Robert Pattison who also played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I am also a MAJOR Harry Potter fan.
1.Have you read the books yet? (yes all 4 in less than 2 weeks)
2.How did you hear about Twilight (and the other 3 books)? (From ladies at work-they passed them around)
3.What ultimately made you start reading the books?(Everyone at work were reading them, and I love to read.)
4.Favorite moment from the books (one or all): (The Meadow scene of course-and when they kiss)
5.Team Edward, Jacob or Switzerland? (EDWARD BABY)
6.Favorite song that you can relate to Twilight, and how does it relate? (Not sure, my computer doesn't have good sound-so can't really understand the words)
7.Got any good "you know you're a fan when…" stories? (Look at my blog. LOL-I have a folder on my desktop with tons of pics)
8.Have you converted anyone to the saga? (Not sure but I hope so. Have I? ANYONE?)
9.What are you most anticipating in the movie franchise? I just hope the next 3 books will be movies.
What do you read when you're not nose deep into Twilight? Anything Nora Roberts. Just about anything really. LOVE TO READ. Right now it is the Memory Keepers Daughter
So.... Who is going to read the books (At least Twilight right now) and go see the movie with me?

I am having problems with my blog

Not sure if anyone else can see these problems. But they are driving me crazy. I checked the
blogger message board and it told me to clear my cache and cookies and then to click on compose. So I might as well compose something to see if it will work.

a little reminder. I will add this.....
17 Days Until Wyatt gets his casts off!!!! LOL
Today is Teacher work day, so Wyatt and I are home. Haylee went to the farm to
work and Donny is at work. I am watching Anthony and Jesse next door. So I have
3 screaming kids here. Anyone wanna come visit. LOL.

A great gift from an online friend

Lynna from my Cricut_Chatter group was so super nice and did an awesome thing for Wyatt. She sent a letter to George Lucas/Lucasfilms telling them about Wyatt and asked if they could send him a little something to cheer him up. Check out the pics. She included the letter she sent

them and the letter they sent her. They sent him (it went to her and she sent it to Wyatt) a

t-shirt and an issue of Star Wars magazine. She also made him an awesome card. Thank you so much Lynna, he loves it so much. I will definately do a scrapbook page about it.

You can click on each pic to see a closer pic of it. You can read the two letters.

WOW-never thought I would make it. lol

I am over a thousand hits (probably half are mine. lol). I would do some blog
candy, but I really don't have anything to give. Sorry ladies. Thanks to everyone
that has come to visit. I really appreciate. it.

Changing subjects a little. I have lost 8 pounds so far. I have actually had to go a
little or alot off the 500 calorie diet I was doing before. For over a week I have
not had any food in the house that was on the list I had. So I had to eat other items.
But it was all good, I still lost 4 pounds from it. But now, I am going to do something
much different than that diet. I will still get the B12 shot and take one of the pills,
but the food will be differetnt. I am going to try Weight Watchers point system. The

Walking could save your life (now I only need to start)

Did you know that there is a cheap and effective therapy to prevent breast cancer?-A Special Message from Dr. Karen

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I encourage women over forty to have a mammogram each year and all of you, men included, to examine your breasts monthly. Each year, about 200,000 women (and 1000 men) are diagnosed with breast cancer and about 40,000 women die of the disease. But we are learning ways to fight back.
Did you know that there is a cheap, effective therapy to prevent breast cancer that has no side effects and that this treatment also reduces the recurrence of disease among breast cancer survivors? It's true and you're already doing it. Exercise, such as walking, reduces the risk of developing cancers in general and recent studies have proven that moderate exercise prevents breast cancer.

While doctors aren't exactly sure how exercising reduces the risk of breast cancer, they do know that obesity is linked to cancer and that overweight women have higher levels of estrogen, a hormone that supports the growth of the most common type of breast cancer. We all know that exercise and eating fewer calories are the keys to weight loss, but women of all sizes and ages can reduce the risk of breast cancer by exercising.

In a variety of recent medical studies, we have learned that regular exercise started as young as twelve will reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by as much as 23%. Breast cancer survivors who walk or enjoy other moderate forms of exercising three to five hours per week are 50% less likely to die of breast cancer that those who are sedentary.
No matter your age, all women benefit from exercise and the more consistent you are, the more you gain in terms of protection. The most benefit results from a moderate- intensity activity such as brisk walking for thirty minutes a day, five days a week. That's a two mile walk with Leslie- something most of us can achieve or work up to.

There is good news regarding breast cancer. Early detection through self breast exams and yearly mammography saves lives and now, we have a simple, safe, and effective weapon against this deadly disease: exercise. I encourage each of you to keep walking - it could save your life. Remember, I believe in good health and believe in it for you!-Dr. Karen

What do you see?

Look closely in this picture.

What do you see?

Can't see it? Look up on the fence?

Anything?
Well Donny has spent all day in the yard. He worked some

more on the Pond (used to be hot tub), and put the flowers

all around it. Moved a few things. Added the lights, and finished

the sprinklers. I have been in my scraproom all day so I wasn't out there

when he finished what he could for the day. So I went out a few minutes

ago to check it out with my camera. I started taking pics and getting closer.

All the while I am like thinking to myself, "I sure hope nothing jumps out at

me in this dark". Luckily nothing did, but I got closer and kept taking pics.

As I was starting to walk back in, I took one last pic (or so I thought I did-LOL).

Here is what I saw. Some are real blurry from zooming in.

My nephew JoJo, is he not cute?

My sis and nephew came over the other day. We haven't seen them since July.
They moved to Mt. Dora and they don't get back to Riverview very often. Isn't he
adorable? He turned 2 July 18. We combined his and Wyatt's bday party in July.

Wyatt wanted me to post some new pics of him and...

some other pics.
Here he is being silly in my scraproom looking up at the tv.

Here he is at school with a poster that was used last year for the 5th grade program. It is huge and they were giving it away. he begged me for it. We had to take it apart but got it in the car. Then even with our tall ceilings, I still had to take the bottom (all the credits about the movie) off. It is in his room against the wall behind his bunk beds.

This was this past Friday (Sept.26th, 2008) and PTA put on a dad's day breakfast. This is Donny and Wyatt. Neither one of them wanted to eat, I made them go get a bagel. Wonder where Wyatt gets it from. Sure not me.

Our Zoey and Petey-kinda hard to see.

Zoey when she was a wittle bitty baby. AWWWW, what happened? LOL August of last year she was born.

Wyatt being silly smiling at the camera, with daddy in the background.

We walked around the mall the other day to get out of the house and while we were getting something to eat, Wyatt looked at the store PICTURE THIS! he seen batman. So he took my camera phone,and tried to get pics of him. Batman and the woman working with him seen him doing this, so they came over and let me take of pic of them. That was so nice. They charge for you to come in and get pics taken. He was happy.

This is one day at the hobby store in Regency Square in Brandon.

This was the day he got his dinosaur (DARTH MAUL) at Build a Bear. He is rubbing the heart on his heart before putting it in his dino.

Wyatt trying to give Zoey and Petey a treat.

The other day, I think something weird came on the tv and he was like "WHOA, that is weird".

Sitting on his futon. Playing Mario Cart on the Wii.

a week before he got his casts on, Aunt T.T. took him and Anthony (didn't want to post pics of Ant before asking Tree) to Zepherhills to eat. On their way back hom to T.T.'s house, they saw this military vehicle (actually two diff. ones) and she let them get out (let Wyatt walk to it and stand being he was going to be in casts soon, give him a little freedom) and take pics with it. They had a blast. Both are for sale. Anyone intersted. LOL


Can't tell if this is at Joann's (looking for mommy) or not.

This sounds like a good challenge. Check ou this blog.

Need some encouragement please!

I almost broke this very new diet tonight. I made spaghetti with corn on the cob for the family. BUT, I could NOT eat it. I had to eat a hot dog. Well, actually I did not have hotdogs but did have one sausage. So I had less than half of that, and I was supposed to have lettuce, cuccumbers and one other item (salad item), but didn't have any of that. So I had a little less than half a cup of white rice and I had some brocolli so I boiled half of that. And I put hot sauce on the rice and sausage (since I usually eat ketchup on my rice and cant have that). So while everyone ate my FAVORITE food, I ate this very miserable very depressing meal. Don't get me
wrong, the food itself is good, I like it all, BUT, Wyatt the one that barely eats anything, eats more than that. My cabinet is full of choco cookies, cheezits, 6 bags of chips, count chocolate and boo berry cereal (bought for ME), and burritos, and pickels, humus with crakers (bought for ME) and some other items I can't think of right now. Oh and coke and other soft drinks (grape, orange, root beer). And I cannot have any of it. I am being good and not eating it, but I am more
depressed now, than I was before I started it and seen my fat self's weight on the scale. Today for breakfast I had a boiled egg (no salt-wahhh), and half a yucky gooey banana we had in our class. Then my 2 hr later "snack" I had the rest of my salad stuff and a spoonful of potted meat (I had bought this the other day before I started the diet-and I didn't have any chicken to add to it). Then for lunch I had a 1 oz hamburger (which equals out to 2 tablespoons) with a quarter piece of cheese. Nothing else on it. I didn't have any veges and the lunch room at school did not have any today. So that was it for lunch. Then I forgot to take my 2 slices of turkey meat so did not have that for my second snack. So right now I am still really hungry. But I am being good and not going in there and getting some humus and crackers that I really really want. I have had so much water, I have to go to the bathroom every 15 minutes. I think Ms. Joyce and Ms. Cathy are probably getting tired of me running to the bathroom all the time. Plus I have to stop and eat every two hours. The first snack is when we have to go to our special for the day so I am cramming it in as fast as I can. Why O Why did I start this stupid diet? I guess cause I am so stupidly fat and I am miserable. Lets hope I can keep it up at least till I can loose at least 10 pounds. Well I gotta run, Wyatt is calling.

Donny sliced his wrist today

Donny called me this morning and said he sliced his wrist and was gonna meet his boss at the clinic to get stiches. Well of course he did not. It finally stopped bleeding after hours and hours.
It looks a little better but still should have something done to it. And just now he tried to delete this and I grabbed his wrist. OOOPS. Sorry Babe. It is bleeding again. I think we are going to CVS to get some butterfly stitches or something.

NEED Ideas please!!!

A friend let me borrow her Animal Kingdom cart for the cricut. I have to make around 30(maybe more) invitations to a Teachers Retirement party. They have to be done and mailed
by next Friday. She has been to Africa and LOVES it. So we were thinking maybe an African
theme. So I thought maybe using the Lion, giraffe, zebra, and elephant from the cart. Anyone
have any ideas on something I can do? Even if it is NOT using the cricut or this cart.
HELP PLEASE!!!!
