This time last year I had never heard of ‘Twilight’…
and after I heard about it I didn’t know what the big deal was.
Fast Forward to today: I’ve read all 4 books and seen the Twilight and New Moon movies.
This is my review of the final book in the Twilight saga- Breaking Dawn.
Like I have [...]

But this year seems different; it [...]

While my son played with Letter People, I accidentally turned on the ‘Sounds of the Seasons’ channel on our TV; I usually turn on ‘Light Classical’ during the day. Valentine’s Day/Romantic songs were playing on this channel- okay, appropriate, I thought, although Valentine’s Day was pretty much a non-event this year with over [...]

Yes, I finally got around to reading Eclipse. I saw Twilight last year, then HAD to read the book. Then I HAD to read New Moon. Then I saw New Moon when it came out.
Now, I’ve finished Eclipse, the third book in the ‘Twilight Saga’ (as it is now called).
Do not, repeat, [...]

Yep, I saw New Moon yesterday! I waited a week or so- so my friend and I were not mobbed by tween girls.
I was a little wary of what the final cut would be like because I have read some not-so-spectacular reviews…
AND…
It’s Great !!!!!!!
If you have not seen Twilight, do not [...]

Do yourself a favor and flip the channel… or just turn off the TV. [...]

I have always loved Journey. There, I said it.
And now, I have another reason to love the longtime band- their new lead singer- Arnel Pineda!
This guy is a rags-to-riches story. Journey found him on YouTube. Are you kidding me? Notice I linked his name… He has a page [...]

This movie, The Last of the Mohicans, is always on TV. My husband has seen it about 20 times, it’s supposedly a good movie. Oh, by the way, it first came out 17 years ago…
I have not seen it all the way through, because now it has become a joke in our house, that [...]
