Some People's Kids

Ok, so it is November, which means that it gets dark a little after 5:00pm, and one thing that your mom should teach you when you are growing up is that when it is dark outside and you out running or walking, you should not wear all black clothes!  When I was driving home this evening, I almost hit 2 different people at 2 different times because they were wearing dark clothes.  The one lady was cutting through a parking lot while I was driving and she was jogging and the other guy was not paying attention to oncoming traffic.  Dumb-asses!

On another note, one of my favorite authors, Jen Lancaster (check out her blog at jennsylvania.com) has a new book coming out!  Woo hoo!  It's not until May, but still, that is only less than 5 months away.  Her last book, Such a Pretty Fat, is frickin' hilarious!  If you have not read it, I highly suggest doing so.  She also has two other books, Bitter is the New Black, and Bright Lights, Big Ass.  They are all memoirs.  The newest one is called Pretty in Plaid, which is about her time in college while she was in a sorority. Now, if you don't know this, I was in a sorority when I was in college and I was pretty involved with it.  I was the President and I also served on Panhellenic Council, which is the governing board of the sororities.  So I am pretty sure that I will thoroughly enjoy this book.

Oh and I did finish reading the Twilight series.  It was pretty good, but I feel that she left is open for another novel.  I also went to the midnight showing of the Twilight movie this past Thursday.  I felt kinda old and out of place.  There were a ton of teenagers there - um didn't they have school on Friday.  And there were a ton of people wearing shirts, many of them were Team Edward shirts.  There was even a person (not sure if it was a guy or a girl) wearing a werewolf costume.  Now this person should have known better, the werewolves don't show up until the second book.  I won't say who is one, in case you haven't read it yet.  But they play a big part in books two through four.

Ok, I suppose that I have babbled on long enough.  I am trying to get back into the writing thing because once I start I seem to have so much to say.  I promise to try to be better about it!!
