i'm still alive

i got a call from my sister today wondering if i was still alive, since i hadn't posted in a while. i was doing pretty good posting regularly. but stephanie meyer's book "breaking dawn" was released on august 2nd.

i had pre-ordered it on amazon.com ... and it didn't arrive until the 5th. so for the past three days i've been absorbed into the twilight world. i read half of it on the 6th, and then a quarter on the 7th and aidan took a 3 hour nap today, so i finished the last quarter today.

so ... sorry, i am still alive. i've just been hiding from blogs (since everyone else has already read it) and then too busy to post as i was spending all my spare time reading.

i'm done reading ... so my life can return to normal.

i must add that i liked this book the best of all the twilight books ... the things that bothered me in the other books were not present in this book ... and it was interesting to read it at the point of my life i'm in right now. her writing style still BUGS me (c'mon steph ... edit more please!! EDITED: not necessarily typos or grammatical errors -- although there were some -- but she just uses too many dang words and over describes things. the book did NOT need to be 754 pages!!!) but over all i was pleased.

i now return you to my regular scheduled blogging!!

boring sentance when taken out of context, but this is actually an amzing part of the story!!! i was hoping it would be a good juicy one, but no. this is my newest obsession. I just finished it on sunday, and hopefully book 2 and 3 will arrive as promised in the mail tomorrow (i'm waiting on the edge of my seat!!) and i already pre-ordered book 4! sheesh. so far i'm totally loving this series. if any of you wanna borrow it, let me know (although nicole has dibbs ... she gets it saturday when i see her next). or go buy a copy yourself, it's excellent and you wont regret it! want to learn more about this book, check it out!!
