5 Days to New Moon

It's almost here! I am actually planning to go to the midnight showing on Wednesday night. They are showing Twilight before it and I accidentally bought tickets to it too. I have already seen Twilight 8 times or so in the theatre (it was only $4 to see a movie in Kansas City) and I have the DVD so I don't NEED to see it again. But it fits. See Twilight on the big screen and then New Moon. Okay, I can live with my accident.

Eclipse is already finished filming and will be out next year in the summer I hear.



 So when will they start shooting Breaking Dawn? And how will it be rated? Anyone who has read Breaking Dawn, the 4th book in the series, knows there is some R rated material in it. And since the major fan base is teenage girls I wonder how they will film it and keep it PG 13.




I am moved in, comfy and farther away from my grandbabies :-(
But I got to be with them last night while Annie and Devon had date night.
I had problems with my laptop in that it was slogging along, almost unusable. So I got a computer guy from Edmonds to look at it and he put some spyware and malware finders on it and added 1 gig memory chip to it so it was faster, at least in his office. I found out my Belkin router is still a problem. The one I had problems with before and got replaced with a new one? Yeah, that one. So no more messing with that router. I called Comcast and they are giving me a router with instructions how to install and if I need further help I can call them. I had been reluctant to get theirs because I thought I would have to have a tech come out and install it and they were charging $149 to do that. So I am getting a new Comcast router and installing it myself. And they will support it. YAYYYY!!!
Meanwhile I am hooked directly into the Comcast modem and flying along. Oh, and they are going to upgrade my modem to a faster one. And I will get a home phone again. Verizon reception here is not good so I can reduce my minutes with them again if I have a home phone.
Progess is a lot of work!

Moving is not for the faint of heart

I am already exhausted and the main move hasn't started yet. Tomorrow three men and a truck will come help me with the bed and furniture and the boxes too heavy for me to lift. 
I did lift about 6 boxes today and bags of clothes the last three days. I put them on a cart here and took them to my car and then got the dolly thingie at the place I'm moving too and unloaded them onto that and rolled it up to my apt where I unloaded them again. I come home with an aching back and very tired but I feel very proud of myself for doing things I never thought I could still do.

I can't wait until I am laying in my bed tomorrow night thinking "It is done, I am finally home."

Until my name comes up on an apt on the eastside which is where I really want to go. I can request the eastside after I have lived in Shoreline apt for 6 months.  And then we get to do this all over again.

NEW MOON FEVER is here

In a little over a month on November 20th the vampires and werewolves hit the theatres. The triumverate of Bella, Edward and Jacob come to immerse us in their saga. It is almost time to read the second book, New Moon for the third time. When I start I don't really stop much so it only takes me a couple days to get through it so I still have plenty of time.

There is a Making of New Moon film, kinda blurry but I have included it here. Get ready.........

I can't wait!!

By the way, check out this website for all things Twilight, including trailers.

Once Upon a Dream

Friday night I babysat Lucy, Max and Joe. Lucy and I watched Sleepun Beauty (she called it "sleepun beauty") three times. The song Once Upon a Dream has been looping in my brain ever since. It really is a beautiful song. I even know that Mary Costa, age 19 and still in high school at the time sang the song as Sleeping Beauty. See link to watch and listen and sing along :-)
