Obsessions & More

Happy Monday to all !! I hope everyone had a super weekend. The football was wonderful again. ROLL TIDE !! Let's just hope we can keep that up in a couple of weeks when we play Auburn. I don't know about you but I am itching for a win. I had a pretty quiet weekend. I don't know what has been wrong with me but I have been totally worthless for the last 2 weekends. All I want to do is sleep. I manage to get my laundry done and that's about it. I did get to visit with Jaime, Amelia and the kiddies on Friday night. I really needed the time with the girls. I have been feeling so glum lately. They always make me feel better. Kendall of course is always a hoot. I am in awe of that child's imagination. It is hard to believe she is only 2 sometimes. Landon is just about perfect. He is such a good baby. He looks just like his daddy but definitely has his mom's laid back personality.

I am so excited right now I am about to bust. The Twilight movie is coming out on Friday. YEAH !!! I so can't wait to see it. Robert Pattison is to die for !!!! Plus, there is going to be a new Harry Potter preview shown before the movie. In my little world, those 2 things together make life just about perfect :) I have mentioned before my obsession with the fan fiction for both Harry Potter and for Twilight. I read them all the time. No granted, there is a lot of garbage out there. Some stuff is very poorly written and others write about characters & situations that are just down right icky. But there is some really incredible stuff out there. I have decided to put a few links on here for some of my favorites.

These are a couple of Twilight stories

Like I said, this is a total obsession of mine. Of course everyone knows I am working on a Harry Potter one of my own. I highly recommend these though. They are a super good read. I had better run. I will leave you with a quote that was on my daily desk calendar one day last week. I don't think it requires explanation, especially for some.

"I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek because my tongue is always in it." Flannery O'Conner.

i read the fan fiction and i never really thought of mike newton as a mean guy! i guess that is just another interpretation though.

I never thought of him that way either but I have seen several that depict him that way. Either mean or stupid
