Confessions...

I don't know how many plates you all can keep in the air at once... I always seem to drop a few! This has definitely been one of those broken ones! Eventually I will upload the photos from my camera to my computer... then I will be able to remember the drive out here from Chicago so I can tell about it. It has been a fast month! Yes, I am now working full time which does cut into my blogging time quite a bit. But the real problem is this new addiction I have encountered. When I asked what book I should listen to on the way out here the vote was basically hands down, Twilight. Well... my dear friend gave me the book on CD's as a going away gift. What a life saver... seriously! The only problem is that once I finished the CD's... I had to get a hold of book two so I could keep up with Edward and Bella. Why is this a problem you might ask... well addiction runs in my family. I may need a intervention. I don't blog, I don't call my friends from Chicago to tell them Thank-you, I haven't cleaned my bathroom mirrors in way too long, and my clean clothes are stacking up just wishing they would get put away. I am cutting corners left and right just so I can have my Twilight fix. This is serious. Bella and Alice are just got off the plane in you-know-where, to find you-know-who, to keep him from doing you-know-what. (Ya, you know you know what I'm talking about) Is there a support group for people with this condition. You know it's all your fault... you all tempted me, and I'm no good with peer pressure. I should have listened to my dear New York friend and listened to Harry Potter instead... I'd probably have my bathroom mirrors cleaned.

the good news is that there are only 4 books total! Every time I picked one up to read it mike asked me how many there were in the series, because he knew nothing would be getting done! the best cure is to just read and read until you are finished and after book 4 is done, hope that she'll change her mind and come out with more!

I was beginning to worry about you... but now I know you are safe just under the grip of a what seems to a be a manageable addiction. What is this working full time business? I assume now that you are in Utah you have family and friends watching the kids... I can't wait till I can order my christmas cards (or SOMETHING) off the Proclamations website. Take your nose out of the book and give the family an extra set of hugs and kisses for me.

I told you they were good books. I just finished New Moon. Will you please put the book down long enough to call your dear friend and let me know how everything went. I have some stuff to talk to you about as well! Let's go Lindsey Bodell, don't make me come out to Utah and kick your butt for not staying in touch. I am broke but I will find a way out there :)

yeah, i know. i had the opposite problem, though. i listened to them so the house was actually totally clean and happy when jeremy would get home. that's totally why he tolerates them...and i say that in the present tense because i still listen to them when i clean and walk on my tread mill. it is a serious problem. but i love being addicted to them. it's wonderful. oooh, and that part that you're at is one of my favorite parts of the series. have fun.

Linds.
I have the 3rd one if you want to borrow it.

Linds!
You moved back?! I want to see you! What brought you guys back? What is Aaron doing? So, about Twilight, yeah - it happens to all of us. My friend gave me Twilight for Christmas, and I went and bought the next 2 before I was finished (of course I couldn't stop!) I read all 3 in 10 days, and I hadn't read a book in years. Of course I went and bought Breaking Dawn the day it was released! At Costco, $12.99. I love Costco.

Yay! I'm glad you finally joined the club. I fought reading these books for a long, long time - and now I'm totally obsessed. I read the first three books 3 times while waiting for the 4th to come out. Now you can look forward to the movie coming out in November :) P.S. check out stepheniemeyer.com - there's some totally fun stuff on there (including previews of Midnight Sun... Twilight from Edward's perspective) *squeal*

Can't wait to make a trip down to see you soon!

Don't worry your not the only one, my wife read all 4 books in 5 days!! And just when the boys and I were glad she was back, a couple weeks later she read the entire series again. So I'm sure there are others out there just like you, so there has to be good support groups, and if you happen to find a good one let me know, so I can send my wife with you.
