So...I don't really love Twilight anymore. Nope.
I finished the series tonight.
What a disappointment.
The first two books were great - very entertaining and fast-paced. The second two were...dry. The story didn't change a whole lot and the last book in particular was just very...weird.
I don't think I'll be reading them again. I'll go see the other movies when they come out, but yeah, definitely not reading them again.
Eesh.

Twilight
*sigh*
I started the series Wednesday night and I'm already into book 3. I resisted for months, but I caved because everyone wanted to go see the movie Friday and I wanted to read the book before seeing it.
The worst part? I LOVE IT. It's so ridiculous, emotional, over-the-top, and fabulous.
And I have a book crush on Edward. That is only the second book crush I've ever had in my life...next to Aragorn.
I'm a nerd. :o)

Heavy
One of those days when life catches up. When I realize that it's too big for me, but I can't seem to hand it off to the One who can handle it.
Ever have the physical ache of a heavy heart?
Ugh.

Overworked and Overwhelmed
Whew!
It's been a week of discovering the pace that God has set for me. I've taken on way too many things and I've spread myself so that none of my commitments are getting all that I have to offer.
Praying for wisdom, discernment and a joyful attitude! Lord help me to be. :o)

Busy!
So I haven't spent much time on this thing in awhile. My last entry doesn't count as a real entry either. :P
I have a busy life. And I'm not really sure anybody reads this anyway. Is this thing on? :o)
