Sunday nights aren’t as fun any more since Mad Men‘s season finale a few weeks ago.  Night comes and that “Monday morning /back to school” feeling creeps into my stomach.  And Don Draper isn’t there to make it all better.

I miss Joan.

I know this is another New Moon post, but just hang with me here.  I promise it’s the last one.  And it’s 11:14 p.m. as I type this and I am frantically trying to post something before midnight so my National Blog Posting Month promise will not be tarnished.

Top 10 List of Everything I Liked About New Moon:

1.  TEAM JACOB

2.  When the girls in the audience screamed at the top of their lungs when he whips off his shirt to fix Bella’s head gash.  (I was one of those girls.)

3.  Can I get an AMEN for Paul?  We need more of him in Eclipse.  And more Wolf Pack for that matter.

4.  When Jacob walked through the rain with short hair and the girls in the audience screamed at the top of their lungs.  (I was one of those girls.)

5.  Anything Chief Swan said.

6.  Emmett to Edward, “Dating an older women.  Nice.”

7.  Jane:  “This might hurt a little.”

8.  Jacob getting ticked off at Mike when he was about to kiss Bella the first time at the movie theater.

9.  The fact that Jacob and Bella never actually kissed.

10.  Even though I’m Team Jacob, Edward stepping out into the sun in Italy was pretty special.  Even though his abs were fake and spray painted on.

What were your favorite parts?

So I went to the Jackopierce acoustic concert (awesome) last night and had every intention of going to the midnight showing of New Moon.

But I was too tired after the show ended.  And I went to the early one.  How sad is that?

I know.  I’m a bad fan.  I do have advanced tickets to join all the tweens and their mothers after work, so never fear, I will continue my Harry Potter and Twilight Saga tradition of seeing the new films on opening weekend.

I’m actually getting a bit nervous about it though.  I hear it’s really bad acting.  Fortunately…I have no problem with bad acting or movies that don’t encourage me to think on a deep level.  (I’m sure  if you checked out the DVDs I have in my collection, you probably would come to that conclusion on your own.)   But I’m going to persevere for this reason alone:

Have I ever mentioned that I’m Team Jacob?

Anyway…

I figured we all needed a place to share our feelings about the movie.  Sound off below and let me know if you liked it in an “oh-my-awesomeness” way, or if you knew it would be lame and you are just embracing the cheese because that’s your nature.  Have fun!

There are moments in my life when something happens and I smile on the inside, knowing that it’s going to be great blogging material.  There are other instances in which I feel so silly at what just unfolded and I am glad no one was there to witness what I just did.

Since I’ve made this big announcement that I will be blogging EVERY SINGLE DAY IN NOVEMBER (what was I thinking) I am coming up a little short in the creative department this morning.  And the only thing that keeps popping into my head is what happened last week.

And it’s one of those “don’t tell anyone” categories. 

It was mildly humorous.  And since this website is all about entertaining the masses, I decided that I needed to suck it up, write it down and suffer the consequences of finger pointing and eye rolling.

Speaking of eye rolling…

For about two weeks, I’ve felt a sense of dizziness while driving to work.  I’m fine driving home, but driving to work was miserable.  My eyes would not focus.  I would rub them.  Blink them.  Check for weird foreign objects in them.  Then I wondered if my polarized sunglasses were adjusting to the recent time change and the sun being in a different position as I made my way down Highway 59.

Hey.  That’s not random.  I actually thought it.  I was hoping for anything but “you-just-turned-34-and-are-getting-old-so-get-over-yourself-and-get-some-glasses-already.”   

The morning of the second week, I became really concerned.  I pulled in to my parking garage at work, took off my sunglasses and immediately felt better.  I was convinced that they had melted in the sun and somehow warped, causing me to not be able to focus properly.

I flung them across the seat where they landed on a white piece of paper.

And that’s when I noticed that a lens was missing from the left eye socket.

Feeling pretty stupid?  Of course.  Excited that I’m not going blind?  You betcha. 

It’s sort of like the times when I attempt to use my key-less car entry to get in the door of work.  I will sit there for a good 10 seconds clicking the button at the door knob, wondering why it won’t open.  Sadly, I’ve done that on more than one occasion. 

I blame it on the headaches I’ve developed in the morning from trying to focus in my left socketless sunglasses. 

Please tell me you know what I’m talking about.  This happens all the time, right?  RIGHT?
