My unofficial official movie review....

Of Twilight of course ....what else would I pay that much money to go see?? LOL

The movie was good. It wasn't the book. It wasn't near as good as the book (but did I really expect it to be??). But it was good. I will definately see it again. And I will probably buy the DVD. But I would be lying if I didn't say I was slightly disappointed. I felt they rushed through too much of the storyline. Everything went much too fast for me. Plus I don't think they really built up the Bella/Edward storyline the way the book does. It was hard for me to wrap my head around them being so desperately in love in the movie. The book did a much better job of building it up.

And I have said from the get go that I was disappointed with their choice for Edward. He just doesn't fit my mental picture.

And then there were things that just totally didn't make sense compared to the book.

But don't get me wrong. The movie was good. And I probably would have loved it had I not read the book first (a mere 3 times lol). I just don't think there is a way to possibly capture the feeling of the book. So with that in mind, they did a good job. And I expect New Moon will have a much bigger budget and will probably be a much better movie.

So there ya have it. My unofficial official review. Take it for what its worth.

Imagine MY Surprise!

Every year the Britches do a Secret Sister exchange at Christmas time. I wasn't able to participate last year but was sooooo excited to take part this year.

So the other day I check my mail and my gift is there. Terri had my name. And she is soooo awesome. She even included some special treats for Madison.

Madison got some Camp Rock lip gloss/nail polish etc. She also got a High School Musical 3 Calendar.

And me? Well mine was the BEST gift I could have asked for. I got a Twilight Calendar and a Twilight Edward T-shirt. Which I wore to the movie last night! :)

Terri is such a sweetheart. She really sent the BEST gifts. I just had to share. Here is a picture of all of our loot.

And here is Madison with her stuff:

THANK YOU TERRI!!! I hope the person I had is as happy with her surprises as I was!!
