Twilight!

Before you make judgements listen to the whole story. Yes, I am a Twilight fan, I really like all the books and have always known I would want to see the movie. I figured I could wait, take my time to see it... plans changed of course when Thursday at 4 I get a call from a friend in my branch wondering if I wanted to get tickets to the midnight showing. At first I was a little hesitant, if I go to a midnight movie, home by 2 or 3 then Jack up at 6! Yikes! However, something inside me was super curious. Maybe it is the fact that the last 9 1/2 months since Jack was born has been pretty void of anything spontaneous, or maybe it was the 16 year old girl in me that just was dying to see Edward, so I said YES! So at 10:45 Jeni, Tesera and I headed out for Twilight! MOM"S GONE WILD!!
Here we are readily awaiting the movie (Me, Tesera, & Jeni)

I can't tell you how much fun we had. I have decided that I will list my favorite things...Here we go:
1. The fact that 10 minutes before midnight, theater workers came in and gave away prizes. Prizes for costumes, for Twilight apparel which weren't all just teens. In fact there were at least 3-4 old enough to be my mom ladies in the mix.
2. The fact that when they asked, "Who's favorite character is Edward?" Everyone screamed while the 3 teenage boys there BOOed!
3. The fact that there was Twilight trivia...which thankfully I didn't know many of the answers.
4. This lady pictured below. She was given a prize for being the oldest woman there. 60! Sixty years old and at a midnight showing of Twilight? That is what I want to be like at 60!

6. The fact that 5 minutes into the movie someone pulled the fire alarm and luckily it went of within 3 minutes or I'm pretty sure there would have been a rumble.
7. The fact that I had set myself up to be royally disappointed and really wasn't disappointed. I actually liked it!
8. The fact that all day today I have kept thinking about it, and am now going to Stephanie Meyer's Website to read the 200 some odd pages she has posted of the Edward addition.

What a wonderful night... Just us mom's out on the town enjoying pretending to be 16 again! Luckily we each have are own Edward Cullen, even though all three think we are ridiculous! :)
