Sorry about the lack of posting lately. When I got home from California (oh my gosh longest day ever) on Sunday evening (it was supposed to be morning), I found that my book Breaking Dawn had arrived. Finally! The book is a super-anticipated conclusion to a 4 book series by Stephenie Meyer. If you know a Mormon girl, you've probably heard of it (but it's not LDS material). So...the book came out August 2nd, and I was so excited I pre-ordered it before it came out. BAD MOVE. I was so frustrated when I realized I had no advantage at all in doing that. In fact, while everyone else in the country was having midnight release parties, and finishing the book that weekend, I got an e-mail from Amazon telling me it would arrive in approx. 9 days. So I go about my life for a week, seeing the book for sale everywhere! Even in the airport. And everyone had finished the book before me, so I always had to have "earmuffs" on so I wouldn't hear any spoilers.
So guess what I've been doing each evening for the last week. No blogging, that's for sure. But I have managed to feed AJ each night. Currently I'm almost 2/3 of the way through my 700+ page book, and so far, it is amazing. That's all I'm going to say for now. I just got my sister hooked on the series (yes I'm taking the credit), and she's just finishing the 3rd book, so hopefully she'll catch up soon!
So what I was originally intending to say was, I have to read my book, but here's a hilarious video that I've watched 5 times today:
The site failblog.org is hilarious. I wouldn't imagine it would appeal to all senses of humor, but I love it.
And for everybody who's finished Breaking Dawn, if you tell me anything, comment about anything, blog about anything, you're goin down. I didn't tell you who killed Dumbledore, so don't tell me this ending either! Thank you.

Dumbledore died??????????? Just kidding. Ok, I don't know whether to get on the Breaking Dawn band wagon or not. I just don't know. I hear nothing but good things but I kind of like being too cool for school this time. Also that vid is AWESSSOME.
Well I was definitely a skeptic. Vampires and romance and superpowers and high school? I had nothing better to do when my sis-in-laws told me to read it, and let's just say it's strangely addicting. I love the books, even though I admit they are easy to make fun of.
Ash dropped her copy off to me Wednesday night--after making freezer jam and cleaning it up, I got started reading (10-10:30 ish). Stayed up until 1:00 a.m., read most of yesterday (ok, all but an hour or so), stayed up until almost 1:00 to finish it. Let's chat once you're finished!
I had the exact same problem with Amazon. I was so ticked!!! I bought it for $16ish after shipping, and then I don't even get it on the release date. WTH?!?! Of course all of my roommates bought it the day it was released at wal-mart for $13. They were all sitting around ooohing and awwing over everything, and I had to sit there and listen to it. I thought I was soooo smart for pre-ordering it, and then Amazon doesn't even ship it until the day of release. STUPID!!!
Wow, Ash, I'm glad you felt my pain. Well, good news everybody: i just finished Breaking Dawn! I'm sort of blown away at how amazing it was and I'm annoyed that the first 3 books weren't crammed into one like this one felt. But that's okay. I loved it!
That video is so funny!
