Twilight

I took myself on a date with myself tonight. I saw Twilight. I get the "Wife of the Year" award for not subjecting my husband to a chick flick. It was a yawner. If I hadn't treated myself so well and bought popcorn and a drink, I may have left. Contrived awkward pauses between seventeen year old lovers is not my idea of a fun two hours, vampire or not. Don't get me wrong, there were parts that were enjoyable but I think I'll stick to the books for the next three movies. I just hope I can get the Edward I envisioned back in my head. Cedric from Harry Potter is just not the Edward I would have chosen. I did like Carlisle, Emmett, Esme, and Alice, in that order. Just to ruin the movie for any of you who haven't seen it, Bella does not turn into a vampire at the end. Surprise.

    Hey Nancy! SO nice to hear somebody NOT in love with the movie. It's a craze among some in my ward, and it's nauseating!

    My husband's boss (who is male) actually took the whole office and me to see it. The movie is worse if you haven't read the book, they say.

They Call Me Grace

I was nearly 8 years old when my baby sister was born. This was quite fortunate since I was well adept at reading. I was tired of my name. Nancy. So plain. The Sunday comics included a comic strip called Nancy. She hung out with her stupid little boyfriend named Russell, was very boring and cried all the time. Why would parents who love their child name her such a boring name? I assumed they had run out of originality by this point. I was, after all, their third child. There was Mike, then Suzy, after me they had Joey (short for Joanne) and finally Jene Marie. The "j" a soft French slur. It was fitting. We had a French surname. But clearly Jene Marie was their crowning glory. Do I hate for taking all the love from my parents and hogging it for herself? Of course not. She's my sister. She's my baby sister. But if I happen to feel the need to speak to her when she's at work, I always ask for her by using both names; Jene Marie (with the schwa). I don't want her...

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...
