Edward v. Stefan

Ever since our friends Greg & Liz recommended that I read the Twilight series I have been hooked on anything that has to do with vampires, i.e. books, TV shows, movies. I have actually read the Twilight series about 4 or 5 times now & every time I get the books out to read them again Dan says, "oh no, not again". Once I get started I just can't put them down. They are very addicting. I even told my co-workers Valerie & Laurie about them & they decided to get the books & they loved them. I don't think it matters what age you are; even though the books are considered "teen" there's something about the vampire/human love story that just sucks you in.

On Wednesday I got home from work & noticed a preview of a new show that was being advertised to air on Thursday nights, it was called The Vampire Diaries. So I wouldn't forget to tune in I wrote the name & time on our calendar. My brother actually called me on Thursday afternoon to tell me about the show because he thought I would like it. On Thursday night at 8:00 p.m. I turned to the The CW & watched the season premiere of The Vampire Diaries &.......I loved it. I can't wait until next Thursday to see what happens.

So here is my question, if you were stranded in the woods in the middle of the night all by yourself & happen to run into a vampire, who would you like it to be: Edward Cullen or Stefan Salvatore? (Keep in mind that they are both "vegetarians".)

Edward Cullen:


Stefan Salvatore:


That's a pretty tough decision don't you think? :o)

For those of you that are interested in the The Vampire Diaries check out their webpage. It was a good show last night.

Dan's Traumatic Experience

Last night Dan & I cooked out & stayed in to watch the Virginia Tech game. After we ate dinner we decided to take Lexi for a walk before the game started. We were about 2 blocks from the house & Lexi stopped to go potty; since I was walking her Dan picked up what she left behind (we usually take turns). When he went to pick it up the bag had a small hole in it & he ended up getting some on his fingers. Of course he flipped out & was like "oh my God! I just got shit on my hand! I gotta go home, babe I gotta go home right now & wash my hands!" I was laughing my ass off the entire time he was flipping out but of course I told him to stop acting like a big baby & just wipe his hand on the grass because we were already out & he can wait until we get back home. He freaked out the entire time we were walking; he held his hand out away from his body & kept saying, "oh I can smell it; I'm gonna be sick". I asked him what he was going to do when we have a baby & he accidentally gets some on his hand; his response was, "I'll freak out just the same; its shit babe". Good lord.

All About Jackson

Friday afternoon my sister-in-law Kristen drove down from West Virginia with my nephew Jackson. Since Dan & Tom were at work all day we decided to get together & have some fun. We took Jackson to the Frying Pan Farm Park which we were told about by our sister-in-law Kelly. What a great day to go because the weather was beautiful. We put JT in his stroller & pushed him around the park to look at the farm animals. We saw goats, chickens, bunnies, cows & pigs. We decided to take a little break in the shade & feed JT a snack & a little bonus for being so good, some ice cream. After we left the park we went back to the house & hung out until it was time for dinner. JT had so much fun playing with Lexi; they were cute to watch together. He started crawling a little while ago so he's at that stage where he wants to get into everything. Kristen has to watch him like a hawk & I'm surprised she can get anything done at home while she's keeping an eye on him; he's on the move constantly.

When it was time for dinner we drove over to Red Robin which is of course kid friendly. Our food took forever to come out so JT entertained himself by chewing on my sunglasses & eating some snacks that Kristen brought for him. Once the food finally came JT's meal ended up mostly on the floor. He just kept shoveling it in but only bits & pieces actually landed in his mouth. I asked Kristen if he lets them know when he's done eating but she said they haven't got to that point yet; he will keep eating as long as you put food in front of him; he takes after his Uncle Dan. :o) Dan got to meet up with us towards the end of dinner to spend a little time with JT before they went back home. While we were leaving the restaurant Dan grabbed one of the balloons for JT to take home with him & he absolutely loved it, couldn't stop giggling & laughing at it. I had such a great time & I can't wait to get together with them again. Thanks so much for spending the day with me you guys. We miss you already.

Here is a little slideshow I put together. Unfortunately Kristen & I's cameras weren't working so these photos were taken with my cell phone.
