confession

I have a confession. one that makes me kinda feel like a 16 year old. 

on a whim, i bought the book Twilight. Never seen the movie, never read any of the books, but I had just finished a great book and was wanting another.  Went to wal-mart with Trey the other night to find one.  I know, Wal-mart is not known for it's book selection, but it is closer to our house than any book store. 

 

Apparently wal-mart in south h'burg is remodeling and the books were few and far between. But there were like a billion twilights. and the paperbacks were only $8.88 (so random).  So I bought it.  I figured there had to be something good about it if so many people were obsessed.  And I am fo'sho not too good for a youth 'fantasy' series, having read all the Harry potter books. 

Well, score one for me. It's just fabulous.  I can't put it down. its a weird thing that I just can't explain, but i get up earlier for work to just 'read a little more' and stay up way too late reading about this vampire love.  I feel so silly. 

I started two nights ago and am almost finished.  Work gets in the way, of course, of finding out the next adventure of Bella and Edward.  I considered calling in sick today to finish it, but my conscience got the best of me. 

I feel better now that I have told you.  Trey made fun of me when he read on the back cover that it received raving reviews from Teen People.  So be it.  But thank goodness he "will never say no to a book." Right, LT?  

Speaking of Trey, he started his Bachelor Party Marathon 2K9 this weekend.  Thursday night, he and about 15 other gentlemen loaded up and headed out to Destin for a long weekend of fun and sun as they celebrate Seth and Maggie's upcoming wedded bliss. 

He just sent me a text that said "at the beach. water is pretty".  I didn't respond.

Next weekend he is heading up north (north mississippi, that is) for some more last fling before the ring shenanigans.  At my 'last fling before the ring' I wore a pink veil and a light up fake 10 karat diamond ring.  I offered to buy some goodies for this party, but they said beer and fishing will suffice.  Glad I wasn't invited, although I should have been.  I am, afterall, a grooms(wo)man in this said wedding.  But I was told this party was for men only.  Probably better that way. My feelings are not hurt.  I get to wear a pretty dress being the grooms(wo)man, so I am happy.

So while he is living it up on the white sandy beaches of florida, I am heading to Starkville.  Put your party pants on - the three sisters are getting together tonight!

 

Softball update: We lost game #2 (to outback steakhouse, no less) by 13 points.  Better than our 25 point loss the first game.But, alas, game #3!  Last night, at #3, we were winning! Ahead! We were tied 6-6 for 2 innings.  We went into 3 extra innings, only to have the opponent win by one.  I am no longer the second baseman, by the way.  Instead, I keep the stats and am the extra hitter. I had an RBI last night. Go me.
