Twilight

The new Twilight movie is all the rage here, opening this weekend I think. The stars are already famous and the movie hasn't even opened yet! They made a live appearance at a local TV station last week and there was a huge noisy crowd of teenagers all over the street outside.

I notice that people are sending a lot of emails from their iphones and blackberries these days, I thought graduating to a wireless laptop computer was a step up, but there are people now that are hooked up wherever they go with these other tools. Talk about addiction.

I'm 'purposefully engaged' this week with a round of doctor appointments. I just got back from mine, my mom has one tomorrow and K has one on Thursday. My doc would go and tell me to book a routine ultrasound, the one where you have to drink 4 glasses of water. (yuk) And my car is telling me it's time for service, this light comes on every time I start the engine.

The good news is that a friend of ours that suffered a major heart attack a little over a year ago told us he's recovered most of his heart function through all the new medication they have now. He only had about 35% of heart function right after the attack.

My daughter got two invitations to go see the movie, one is a combined b'day party the other is just with a bunch of friends that she knew from Oakville. She is going to the b'day party one that way she only had to pay for her snacks! She has absolutely loved the book and has not put it down. I hope she is not disappointed by the movie.

The books were quite popular at Roxi's school last year. I bought and read the first one to see what the fuss was about. Let's just say I'd read the others if someone lent them to me. But I am curious to see how they move from book to movie.

Are your kids going to go see it?

And good for you for being purposefully engaged about doctor appointments and car maintenance! The thing that I look forward to most when it comes to appointments is the waiting because I can sit down and READ!
