Weekend Wrap Up/ Breaking Dawn

Goodness my weekend went by in a blur!

Even with having the extra day off it was quick, I don't even want to imagine how tired I would be if I had worked on Friday.

First off, let's talk about how awesome it is to have Fridays off now... you just have no clue! It's like... awesome! :) I would have never thought by just cutting down my work week 10 hours a week, how much it has totally changed my energy level. That and the fact that I no longer have evil 1st trimester symptoms.

Anyways, you've already heard about my crazy laundry intervention and surprise anniversary night as well as Korbin's birthday party... just those 2 events alone took up most of the weekend. But one thing I didn't mention is what took up the REST of my weekend... Breaking Dawn.

Can I tell you how sad I am now that I've read it? It was like I didn't want it to be over, but I couldn't put it down. I HAD to finish it last night because I knew I would be thinking about it all day today... and let me tell you, it was every bit the book I wanted it to be. It caught me totally by surprise. I mean, I was really surprised by the events that occurred on page 449. I really did not see that one coming, and I normally have picked up on all her twists so far... but that one I was reeling!

But now it's over... at least from Bella's perspective (from what I read on her website). Here is what she said in an interview:

Question: Are you going to make any other books in the series after Breaking Dawn and Midnight Sun?

Stephenie: The series at book four, and Midnight Sun kind of like book one point five. Book four will pretty much, it will be the last time Bella would narrate *crowd whines*, but if I wanted to go forward. The stories couldn't go on forever. If they did - no, no, no, if they did it would get old. Bella and Edward would have the same problems in every book and they overcame it and then faced the exact same thing again, it would get really old. There comes a time when the story needs to end. There are other stories with other characters. I might go there, I might not. There are some other things I'll do first, so it wouldn't be, like, right away, but I do have outlines for five and six.

So at least that makes me feel better that it won't be the end of the series, like I previously thought.

In other Twilight News, Stephanie and her sister Michelle made it in the Fort Worth Star Telegram for their awesome costumes they made when attending the book release party. They looked awesome! They were dressed as "newborn" vampires. Here is the link.

So ya, good times reading that book all weekend. I started it Saturday evening around dinner time, then read for a few hours... unfortunately, like I've noted before, when I'm pregnant, reading for long periods of time gives me motion sickness. I don't realize how bad it is, till I stop reading. On Saturday night, after reading a good 3 hours or so, I puked so hard that I burst all the blood vessels around my eyes.

Then I decided to sleep in on Sunday, Jon took Lyric with him to Church, so I had the morning all to myself... so what else is a girl to do but read! So again, dry heaved into the toilet after a 3 hours reading session. I decided to give myself a break for the day, so Jon and I went over to my parent's and we ate lunch, then Jon and I went to see the new Mummy movie (which totally sucked by the way- and I like Mummy movies). Then after spending the evening hanging out, we went home and I finished the book last night around midnight.

I was sad, but happy at the same time.

So all in all, it was the most awesomest weekend! It was really busy and fast paced, but was filled with my favorite things- my husband- lots of lovin'- my daughter- friends- nieces/nephews- Mexican food- and READING! :)

He's leaving tomorrow...

And man am I going to miss him. Seriously.
I HATE it when he leaves without me.
Part of it is the fact that I wish I was going with him and detest feeling left behind and part of it just has to do with the fact that my life functions so well with him, that when he is gone, there is a gaping hole.

So Jon leaves tomorrow for Brussels and I'm sad.

Absolutely NO laundry was done this weekend, so that means I get to scatter like a mad woman and do a ton of laundry so packing can get done tonight. Oh and my dishwasher is clogged or something. It won't drain. I told Jon that if he did nothing else, to please get that fixed before he left... guess what?? He leaves tomorrow and it is STILL not fixed! So on top of my incredibly dirty house, dirty laundry piled up in the bedroom and bathrooms that haven't been cleaned in weeks... I now have dishes beginning to stack up. Translated into NO ONE IS ALLOWED IN MY HOUSE!
It's best not to see how we are living right now :)

So one more night with my sweetie and then he's gone for almost 2 weeks. I really enjoyed our weekend together though. I don't even regret the extreme nothingness we did all weekend.

I mean seriously. We ate and watched a bunch of movies.
Friday- Olive Garden to go. Watched Invasion and Rescue Dawn. Invasion was great. I really liked it. Rescue Dawn, I didn't even make it through the opening credits before I was asleep. Jon said it was stupid.

Saturday- On the Border for lunch- roasted chicken and french fries for dinner-
Caught up on all Oprah's and Ellen's. Watched Reign of Fire and Sunshine. Both were great (I've seen Reign of Fire a few times) and Sunshine was good, though for some reason I kept getting lost- though it wasn't difficult to follow).

Sunday- ordered pizza mid-afternoon and ate it again for dinner. Watched Coyote Ugly and Good Luck Chuck. Good Luck Chuck is so stupid and crass. Don't recommend it at all.

So here I am, back at Higher Power after a long relaxing weekend...

I feel pretty refreshed! Except I'm covering the phones till Natalie gets here and I HATE covering the phones.

I think that is about it for me!
