If you give a Mom a muffin...

If you give a mom a muffin, she'll want a cup of coffee to go with it. She'll pour herself some. Her three-year-old will spill the coffee. She'll wipe it up. Wiping the floor, she will find dirty socks. She'll remember she has to do laundry. When she puts the laundry in the washer, she'll trip over boots and bump into the freezer. Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan supper. She will get out a pound of hamburger. She'll look for her cookbook. (101 Things To Make With A Pound Of Hamburger.) The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail. She will see the phone bill, which is due tomorrow. She will look for her checkbook. The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two-year-old. She'll smell something funny. She'll change the two-year-old. While she is changing the two-year-old the phone will ring. Her five-year-old will answer and hang up. She'll remember that she wants to phone a friend to come for coffee. Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup. She will pour herself some. And chances are, if she has a cup of coffee, her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.

I've been sucked in!!

I tried so hard to fight it... but I failed. I am now officially a Twilight fan. When I first heard about these books, and movies, I thought they'd be too "teenage" for me. So I figured someday I'd read the books just to see what the fuss was about, and then I'd watch the movie when it was released to DVD. I left it at that, until last weekend when Staci says "Oh, Manda, you gotta go see it. I'll go with you. I've already seen it twice, but I'll go again. We'll go next week." So basically I got suckered into it. We went on Tuesday, and honestly, I really liked the movie. There are parts that irritated me a little, and yeah it probably is too "teenage" for me, but hey what can I say...? So... Now I'm dying to read the books and I can hardly wait to see New Moon when it comes out. I hope it is good since it's being rushed... And yes, I will be buying all the movies. Robert Pattinson did as awesome job as Edward, it was great to see his acting skills since we didn't see much of him in Harry Potter. Well anyhow, this wasn't meant to be a review... Just a confession!

*Oh, and if anyone else is planning on going to see this... I'll gladly go with you.
