Hello Halfway House ladies!
Ginnie~ I can only imagine how glad you'll be when your husband returns. Sorry he's had to deal with that idiot coworker on a daily basis.
You
are SuperMom--essentially taking care of the kids all by yourself. Sounds like you had a great time at the beach, minus the lightning, of course. The banner Tammy made for you is lovely and your story sounds very intriguing. I'm so impressed and wonder when on earth you ever find the time to write? Thanks for linking us to the fanfiction communities...they seem like a great resource for highly recommended stories.
Marielle~ Sorry you're still not feeling too well. It is nice to see KStew looking a little less tired these days. I imagine that she, Rob, and the entire Twilight cast are looking forward to seeing each other again this fall. They always claim the cast is like a family, and they certainly seem to get along very well. Having fun with and getting along with your coworkers always makes work so much more bearable.
Nice Robcrack yesterday, by the way.
Susie~ I completely forgot to wish you and hubs a Happy 24th Anniversary!
That's a huge accomplishment and I'm glad you enjoyed a nice evening together. Hope that your daughter is all settled in to her cozy quad. I can remember just how small my dorm rooms were--often not much room for stuff beyond the traditional desk, bed, small TV, and little fridge. Is she excited about starting classes? Does she have the the same roommates from last year? The buildings do look beautiful, as
Jacklyn mentioned. So Nikki will be taking college classes while filming BD...interesting... and good for her. I did enjoy the BBC version of
Persuasion, and of course the acting and writing were spot on, as they seem to be with most BBC productions. I liked the letter writing scene, although it seemed a tiny bit rushed at the end. I'll have to rent the Hollywood version as I've not seen it. It's so funny how with Jane Austen books and film adaptations--you wait
so, long for a very small payoff (the brush of a hand, a longing glance, and maybe a very brief, chaste kiss). But all the longing and waiting make it seem even more romantic in the end, although sometimes I wouldn't mind seeing a PG or PG-13 version of a Jane Austen adaptation.
Jenn Jenn~ Hope you and your little girl feel better quickly. I don't think you're ever too old for Twilight merchandise. We have monthly pot-luck lunches at work to celebrate the various birthdays of coworkers in our department. A former coworker and myself shared the same birthday, as well as a minor obsession with Rob and Twilight. I brought the New Moon plates and napkins for our lunch at work last February, and everyone got a kick out of using them.
Jacklyn~ I don't think I was very clear about what I posted earlier. I meant to indicate that my son
watched his first major league baseball game
(St. Louis Cardinals vs. Cincinnati Reds). We don't have a major league baseball team in our city and I guess the Atlanta Braves and the Cardinals are the closest. I'm glad you and your Mom had a successful shopping venture to Ikea, and I sure wish we had one here. I hope you get a chance to read
Water for Elephants soon. The way you seem to enjoy fanfiction, I'm almost certain you'll adore this story as well, especially when you picture Rob as Jacob Jankowski.
Caryn~ Your dress looks so pretty--very elegant and flattering. Thanks for the pic of Rob from the movie premiere--was it the New Moon premiere or Cannes? PremiereRob is always glorious, whether it's the premiere of one of
his movies or of
someone else's movie. By the way, I think GossipCop already debunked the rumor of Rob appearing on Entourage.
That's a bummer, as it would have been quite hilarious, I expect.
Tammy~ Congratulations on your upcoming 21st Anniversary. I too have found many intriguing fanfics by checking out some of my favorite author's "favorite stories" lists.
Desiree~ Magic Mountain theme park sounds like fun. I love roller coasters, but my stomach can't take going backwards or upside down the way it once could.
Shauni~ I'm sorry you didn't get the results you hoped for on your exam, but at least now you know where you're headed. Pharmacy should be an excellent program with many opportunities available for you in the future. Congrats on being able to drive your very own car--that's so exciting! Thanks for all the Kristencrack. She is so gorgeous, in such a non-Hollywoodish, unique kind of way.
Vicky~ I'm glad you enjoyed your most recent music festival. Hope you feel better and get some rest. We're happy to hear from you, whenever you have a chance.
