There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.

I need a night out with Edward Cullen. I mean, my husband!

I have a thousand other things I could be posting today, but I just can't resist commenting on Twilight, now that I've watched it on DVD a time or two (*or three or more*).

I'm seriously loving this movie more and more. Rather, I'm loving the whole world of Twilight even more. And for the sake of my sanity since no one but me reads this blog, I won't dive into the thousands of reasons I LOVE the relationship between Edward and Bella, but I will say this much:

I've heard some of the feminist comments about Bella being too dependent on Edward and blah, blah, blah. But seriously...

IT'S FICTION PEOPLE!

You can call me a girly girl, but I love chivalrous men. Especially the ones who act strong and in charge, but choke up when they talk about their family and the woman they love.

And for the record, just because it's on my mind, I'd like to announce that I'm now officially 100% on board with Robert Pattinson playing Edward. I was never totally against him, I just didn't know who he was. Had Edward been somewhere farther along in life (like CLOSER TO MY AGE!) I'd have said Hugh Jackman is the only actor for the part. But I digress... I'll see him soon enough in Wolverine (if The Man will take me on a date, that is).

And speaking of "The Man" in my life. He FINALLY agreed to read the Twilight books. He goes through multiple books in a week so you'd think it would've been easy for him, but he can be a little stubborn when it comes to doing something I really want him to do. It started with a mustache when we were dating, and it's just gone on from there...

ANYWAY -- He's on Book 4 (Breaking Dawn) so he can't give me his full review yet, but here's what he's said so far... AND I QUOTE:

"Men like Edward don't exist."

My reply?

"I know they don't, Honey.
And Edward isn't 'a man,' he's a vampire."


At least we have the antagonistic part of Edward and Bella's relationship down. Now if I could only get him to throw himself in front of a car for me (*that's a scene in the book/movie, so don't freak out people*)...

I guess I'll have to settle for a bite on my neck...

I sooooo need a date night.

You are tooo cute! And, I am so impressed with Curtis! Dee would NEVER read Twilight (he is more into Glenn Beck, Cleon Skousen, etc. No fiction for him!)
