Bitten by Twilight

Well, I was in my bed by 9:30 last night- but I didn't stop reading until after midnight!!! Twilight is definitely picking up in speed!! If you haven't read it yet- and want a fun, spooky, romantic read- then this is a good pick. I am interested to see the movie to see how close the movie is to the book... and I want to read the sequels!
I didn't think I'd get this SUCKED in (haha!) but here I am!

Among other news...
  • We are leaving for a short Mexico cruise on the 8th of February!! We can hardly wait. I am going to get SPRAY-TANNED!! my first time... I will let you know... I don't want to be glowing in Mexico.
  • George has been working all day in the basement trying to get our "exercise and health spa" set up. Now, granted, it is an old-house basement with concrete floors and stone walls and raw ceilings... but he's cleaning it like mad so I don't feel "creepy". We bought a couple rugs and we plan to eventually get some things like shoji screens and fake palm trees to set around. We have an infra-red sauna (George sat in one every day at the treatment center so we decided to invest in one), an elliptical, and an exercise weight machine. We chose to cancel our health club membership and invest in two key pieces instead so we could work out at home at our own convenience. With the terrible economy, there are some really great deals to be had, too!! We got super lucky.
  • I am still waiting for my new Fig Wen cleansing conditioner, and I am getting my hair cut- after almost a year!- on Saturday by Michael, not Chuck. I decided to go back to Michael. I will let you know. I mainly just want a trim and a shape-up.
  • I think that is all. My life isn't all that exciting. :-)

I am on the second Twilight book, New Moon, and I am HOOKED! Or as you said, "sucked in". I am about three-quarters of the way through this book and am excited to start the 3rd book. They are soooo good!!! Not just for teenagers, obviously!

Welcome to our world! Twilight is definitely amazing. I finished the series over Christmas break. They are all great!

My SIL keeps telling me I need to read the Twilight books. I just can't bring myself to do it. I am anti-what's in at the moment, thus my reading them would be hypocritical of me. :p

I have never heard of WEN but just wanted to throw out there I only wash my hair with conditioner, but not any special "cleansing conditioner" - regular conditioners have cleansing agents too. I use VO5 Passionfruit Smoothie conditioner like a mad woman. That and The Goth Rosary Conditioner & Humectant as a leave-in. As long as there are no silicones I'm usually good; I love the Goth Rosary because it's 100% vegan, but it's a bit pricey so I only use it as leave-in since it lasts longer that way. I've also taken using macadamia nut oil on my hair every other day, from the ear lobes down. Just rub a tiny bit over my hands, then run my hands down my hair (damp or dry, either way seems to work fine for me but some people swear oiling "has" to be done on soaking wet hair, other say dry... meh. whatever.) I am so completely in love with that oil, it's ridiculous. lol
