Twilight comments

Those of you who haven't seen the movie yet, don't read this post! Actually there really are no surprises, I thought they stuck with the book pretty well. I really never imagined Edward that way, but I still liked him. He wasn't quite as debonair as I pictured and definitely not as old school. He was very intense, and I can see how she would fall in love with him.
Jacob was pretty much how I imagined, and I can't wait to see how he is in the next movie since he has to grow a ton! In the second book I was cheering for Jacob. I thought " Bella can marry him and have little brown babies and a sort of normal life".
These books are such an enigma to me. I am amazed at how they span generations, and hold peoples interest. I know 14 year olds who read them and my mom who's 83 loved them too. And of course, my daughter and me! Stephanie Meyer is really on to something here. I guess we are hungry for some "G" rated romance, vampire style!
All in all I wasn't dissapointed in the movie. In fact I think I want the video and soundtrack for Christmas!

Twilight

Who out there is woman ( or man) enough to admit they are going to go to the midnight showing of Twilight??? Hmmmm? I am! Can't wait for scary, G rated romance. It rocks:) I'll let you know what I think

NUMB

We have a group of mountain bike riders in the Basin, and we call ourselves NUMB. That stands for Northeastern Utah Mountain Bikers....and as we all know various parts of you go numb when you ride for long periods of time. A local magazine just ran an article about us and I thought I'd share it with you. I took most of the pictures, so I'm only in one...that little spec on the orange bike!

HAPPY TRAILS!

Obama wins!!!

Yesterday I was floating around town with a huge grin on my face, calling on customers as usual, but one thing was different. We have a new president elect and I couldn't be happier! The tough part is to act nonchalant when you live in the most Republican county in one of the most Republican states in the country, and your Democratic nominee just won! Do you have any idea how frustraing it is that no-one you ever vote for wins? I think I have a right to be happy!

We witnessed history on November 4th...we chose a new direction...we elected an African American and I am so proud of my country. I still remember the race riots when people were not allowed to go to the same school, enter the same door, drink from the same drinking fountain...all because of their skin color. I believe with Barack Obama's election that all racial barriers have been erased.

Barack Hussein Obama! Who would have believed we'd ever elect someone with THAT name! Wow. I still can't believe it.

To his credit, John McCain gave an excellent concession speech and I hope his constituents pay attention. We all need to stop being so divided and partisan to get this mess fixed. The state of our country, is not Obama's problem...it's every Americans problem.

Now if we could just get people to boycott divisive radio talk show people the world would be a better place...trust me.

Celebrate a new beginning. Embrace change. Be proud of your country, but call your government to task. There....I'm done preaching. Now can you hear me smiling????
Sweeeet!
