Twilight!

You all know Ashley & I had to go see the Twilight premier! There we were with all the other hundreds of sappy lovesick women at midnight anxiously anticipating the first breathtaking view of Edward in the flesh (so to speak).

He wasn't exactly how I had pictured in my mind - not that he was ugly mind you but the Edward I pictured was SMOKIN! I have to admit there were a couple of scenes when I was a little weak in the knees and my little heart went pitter pat but all in all the Edward I know and love is not as dramatic and much smoother.

I loved almost all the characters and thought they did a great job casting. Jasper was magnificent, Emmett was exactly how I imagined, Alice was perfect in every way, Rosalie...well, let's just say I imagined someone more like Portia Del Rossi and Jacob needs a haircut.

I can't wait for the next one!

Giraffe-like?

One of my dear friends Paul says I'm like a giraffe. Should I be offended? Am I giraffe-like? He quickly tried to save face by saying, "Giraffes are tall, slim and graceful and love their babies." I guess I'll let him slide on that one...

Chicago!

I've turned into quite the globetrotter. No not, really. But I have gotten to travel some for work. I got to go to Chicago for a training. I haven't ever been to Chicago before so I was excited. However, I got strep throat and spent a good portion of the trip in my hotel room. I did get to ride in a limosine for the very first time though! And I discovered that you can use your coffee pot in your hotel room to heat up soup! Woo hoo!

Christian Siriano!

I got to visit San Diego for my quarterly review with LG. As sort of a gift I got to stay a couple extra days and I got to meet famous fashion designer Christian Siriano. He hosts the reality show Project Runway. He was so darling! And I do mean DARLING - if you get my drift.
