Day Seventy Nine

'Twilight Saga: New Moon' DVD Release Partay
After Midnight, March 20, 2010

This is why we were all up so late Friday night/Saturday morning. Sarah's tattoo says it all. 'Twilight Saga: New Moon' was released at midnight. Daughters, grand daughter, grand son, and nieces headed to Wal-Mart to snag their copies and enjoy a piece of 'New Moon' cake that the store served up.

Are you Team Edward? (Yes!)

Or are you Team Jacob? (No. But he's so cute...)

Sarah managed to get one of these cool water bottles featuring our favorite vampire boyfriend.

Let the tattoo-ing begin! Included with the DVDs were pages of great looking temporary Twilight Saga tattoos.

Sarah also got the Forks High School mascot tattoo (see first picture for her other tattoo).

Julia, who I think tends toward Team Jacob (but I think her fave is really Emmett) got Jacob's wolf pack tattoo.

Not to be left out, Elijah got a tattoo, which I think is the lion in the Cullen crest (I'm guessing). Although he stayed up to join in the fun, he didn't want to see the movie. Too scary.

Shelby got the feather tattoo, one on each arm. She wasn't sure what it meant. I told her it was from Jacob's tribe.

Kelly got the Cullen crest tattoo, I think. (Somebody please chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.)

Neil popped up several batches of his tasty popcorn and we were all set to watch the movie. It ended sometime after three A.M. (Sarah fell asleep about halfway through) And we didn't get to bed until four A.M. But that was okay. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing it again after all these months of waiting for the DVD release. Up next: 'Eclipse'!! Can't wait until June 30!

Day Three Hundred Thirty Four

Sweet!

Grand daughter Shelby's third grade teacher picked up on the fact that Shelby loves the whole 'Twilight Saga' stories. Of course, Shelby has made no secret of it. When Shelby got in from school this afternoon, she couldn't wait to show me what her teacher had given to her today--a package of Twilight New Moon creme filled chocolates. No kidding. Shelby was so pleased and excited that she immediately began to create a thank you card for her teacher.

The one she opened was inside a Bella wrapper. It says Bella on the first heart and Cullen on the second heart, along with the Cullen family crest. How cool is that! Shelby says her teacher told her she found these at K-Mart. What a sweet thing for a teacher to do for a student. This teacher is obviously paying attention. And, yes, Shelby thoroughly enjoyed her chocolate!

Day Three Hundred Twenty Four

'New Moon'! And Happy Birthday, Cynthia!


Daughter Kelly, son in law Kerry, sister in law and birthday lady Cynthia, sister Ann, Cynthia's sister Christina, and hubby Neil (and I) arrived at Providence cinema in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, bright and early this morning with our preordered Fandango tickets to see the 10 AM screening of 'Twilight Saga: New Moon'. Neil was glad that he wasn't the only male to show up for the movie. We've anticipated 'New Moon' for a year now, and Cynthia was thrilled that she got to see it on her birthday. We all LOVED it and want to see it again soon.

Cynthia's birthday lunch at Ruby Tuesday was a yummy meal and a lot of fun hanging out, laughing and talking (yeah, Kelly got pretty loud). Cyn got a kick out of her cards (and presents!)

Around the table from left are Kelly, Cynthia, Ann, Christina, and Neil. (Kerry had to leave after the movie and head to work) I'm so glad I got to celebrate Cynthia's birthday with her (she's 31--ssh--don't tell). And glad too that we finally got to see 'New Moon'. Happy Birthday, Seestor Cyn!! We love you and wish you the best of everything today and always!

P.S. After lunch, Kelly and Cynthia went back to the theater to watch 'New Moon' all over again :-) P.S.S. for the record, Kelly tells me they didn't see the movie again.

Day One Hundred Fifty Four

Who loves the 'Twilight' series by Stephanie Meyer? I do! I do! And a bunch of other people do, too, apparently. And we're all looking forward to 'New Moon', the second movie installment of what is being called The Twilight Saga. The first 'New Moon' movie trailer was debuted Sunday on the MTV movie awards, which I'd never watched before and only watched this time because 'Twilight' was nominated for everything (and won 5 out of 6 awards I think). Since I didn't have a picture for today, which is rare for me, I thought I'd post something totally different and just plain fun. Of course, any fan of these books knows that the picture here is of Jacob Black after he shape shifts into a wolf. Fans seem to be torn about the look of Jacob as wolf. As for me, I think it's all good and can't wait to see this story in action on the big screen!
