So it seems E and I have a slightly unhealthy infatuation with this phenomenon called Twilight. It can't be helped, Edward and Bella live under our skin and take over our minds. And the fact that we get to look forward to this besotted bliss for another three years until the final movie is released makes us tremble with glee.
E, die hard that she is, downloaded the movie on iTunes the moment it was released. I myself was enjoying the sweet nothingness of nature by camping where technology was a complete nonentity. While E was bragging that she avoided the Wal-Mart waiting lists and crowds by downloading, I was soaking up the sun to create the beautiful pink patterns of peeling skin. Yet it was Target who avenged my injured pride!
Yes, Target, Holiest of All-Purpose Stores. I bow down to your absolute dominance of all things Wal-Mart. My tactic was to find the store located in the least desirable spot in town, and I successfully located the practically untouched display the moment I entered the store. After a quick trip down the food aisles to pick up some groceries to make Italiano as the Cullens did for Bella in the movie, I proceeded to check out and head to my car with my prize. Yet I had no idea of what I would find inside this Cracker Jack of never-ending possibility! The case not only held three disks of wonderment, but a coupon for the exact same content downloadable from iTunes! With exclusive Target features! I was beside myself with excitement, and proceeded to call E to rub in my superiority. Not only will I have a hard copy, I'll have the movie downloaded to my computer with all the extra content at my fingertips! Sheer bliss, I tell you. More satisfying than a Snickers.

After all the ruckus about the bachelor and his big public breakup, (which btw I along with everyone else on this planet thinks he needs to be taken outside and beaten with a rubber hose) I have to bring another tragedy to light. It really does break my heart that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer will no longer be gracing the covers of Okay and Star Magazine as lovebirds. I really thought these two could make it. I liked them together too. But what is it with this Jennifer? Why can't she keep love?
Is she happy about these breakups? She never seems to reveal an emotion or response about her love life ending. Is she too sweet and this bad boys just can't handle that saccharine sweetness? Or is this just a shiny veneer on the outside and something men just don't want to keep long term? I don't know what it is. But it does make me sad that one of the most beautiful women in the world, once again loses one of the most beautiful men. Sad, sad, sad.
Or is it?

Can my heart share two loves? Is it even possible? I certainly hope so, because recently a new gadget has entered my horizon. And it even comes from the same family as the iPhone, my new AT&T wireless internet usb. Oh yes, now I have the internet everywhere! (except my apartment for some reason, but I'm working on that)
This little sucker is no joke. I tested it out right after I bought it and was chatting on Facebook while stuck in traffic. Then I uploaded a website from City Hall in Royse City (aka Podunk, Texas). Then I worked while in the passenger seat being driven all over Dallas. Seriously, I'm in love! Now I can indulge every workaholic fantasy! I can finally go to my boyfriend's apartment and not have to use bootleg wireless from his neighbor. I can take my computer with me when carpooling to lunch and leave the office half an hour earlier. The possibilities are endless! At least, somewhat endless. There is that one caveat that signal seems to die within 100 feet of my own abode. But whatevs. Now I have the excuse to walk to the coffee shop up the street when I work from home and get out in the sunshine. Or work from my balcony. Whichever.

In my entire life I do not think that I have ever counted down the days to anything as important and glorious as the Twilight DVD release. Today marks the 13 days (superstitious anyone?) till that little sleeve of pure bliss enters my home.
I can hardly wait for it and the things we'll do, oh the things we'll do... We have been trying to plan the perfect moment to bring Edward home. How should we celebrate the big moment? A simple gathering of girls at B's place full of food and drink or should we do it up right and head to a swanky hotel where we watch, cry, drink and watch all over again? The options are limitless. I think that I have poured more time into this than my blessed wedding. (where I'll have you know I married the other most perfect man on earth!- that's how I feel this week, ask me again in a month and see if the answer is the same!)
Oh the questions that rumble around in my head on what to do. I think the pressure is so strong because it is not everyday you bring home the perfect, even if he is dead, man. This takes timing and lots of planning. After all, it is the most awaited moment in history!

So the polls are open, anyone have any ideas?
