I had a different post planned out, but after spending THREE HOURS clicking around Cleolinda's HILARIOUS Twilight posts, I have decided to save my post for another day.
I found her posts especially amusing because my friend and critique partner J.A. Souders and I went to see Breaking Dawn yesterday. There were lots of amusing moments in the movie, particularly any scene with Charlie in it (LOVE HIM), and Emmett's wedding speech to Bella and Edward (which was basically like, "Get used to not sleeping." *nudge, nudge, wink, wink*). We also discovered the joy of scanning the credits for interesting names. Two notable ones: Booboo Stewart (this is the kid who plays werewolf Seth! For realz!), and Pharoah Barrett. Which caused Jess to dare me to name a character in one of my novels "Pharoah." I may take her up on this dare. :D
Anyway, go here and enjoy Cleolinda's recaps. Both her recaps of the movies, and her recaps of the books are worth it.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I Got What I Wanted, But...
Wow. It's been a loooooooong time since I posted. *sheepish look*
My only excuse is that I have three part time jobs and three children, and I was finishing revisions on my manuscript. And, really, those are pretty good excuses, I think.
Okay, maybe not. But I have news! (No, sadly not that kind of news YET.) But it IS news I have been waiting 13 MONTHS to tell you.
Yes, THIRTEEN MONTHS.
I finally have internet at my house! *cue fanfare*
I can hardly believe I managed that long without internet at home. o.O
And, now that I have it, I ... don't want to use it that much.
*GASP*
I know. It's utterly weird. I do enjoy being able to type emails on a normal keyboard instead of with my thumbs. And it's nice to be able to click over to someone's blogpost from twitter and be able to actually read the blog, rather than having the right sidebar covering the words.
But.
I'm so used to my emails on my phone. And twitter on my phone. And even the Blueboards on my phone. I find the full sites overwhelming.
So. Weird.
I guess that means that I really could adapt to anything. LOL.
In other news, I'd like to point you to a few things going on around the web.
First, my crit partner and friend, JA Souders is having a BOOK DEAL CELEBRATION EXTRAVAGANZA! Head over and check it out.
Also, Jean Reidy is having an online auction to celebrate the release of her picture book, LIGHT UP THE NIGHT, and give books to a library in Uganda. Check that out and bid!
