Obsession

No, this is not an ode to lame cologne eau de toilette, (or whatever). I just wanted to discuss and/or ponder upon some of the things that I waste A LOT of time on even though I don't have any time to waste.

So I guess I'll just go ahead and start with the obvious one. The Stephenie Meyer series. Vampires in high school. That would have made my entire life. I check for updates on her site just about everyday. That's why I have all these crazy drawings and pictures saved.

This is the author's idea of what the perfect Edward Cullen looks like. I melt.

I found these on the site somewhere by chance. It's Edward and Bella and Jacob in the forest. Love them. How lame of me.

I also recently discovered the wonderful world of youtube. I don't post any videos, but I could seriously watch people's videos all day long. While our cable was broken I found every blooper video I could and Julia and I cried because we were laughing so hard. My faves are the little 13 year olds who put together Harry and Hermoine (Harry Potter) videos because they just want them to be in love in real life. It's just so sweet, and if you think about it, creative. I mean, at 13 I was still trying to figure out how to get my hair into a side ponytail on the top of my head let alone making videos and posting them on the internet. Pretty ambitious.

I have been wasting a large portion of time downloading songs from MP3 Rocket. I paid about $20 for the entire year and I've been going CRAZY LOCO! (That's from SkippyJohnJones) If you haven't read that book to your kids you HAVE to! I've downloaded about 200 songs in the last month. Everything from Josh Groban and Michael Buble to Timbaland and Christina Aguilera. I've made playlists for everyone so that when they use the computer that can have their work put to music. I've just found that I work better that way. I have an upbeat Fall Out Boy, All American Rejects, GreenDay playlist, and a calm classical playlist with piano noctures from Chopin and pieces by Beethoven and Mozart. I've found all the songs Madison learned dances to at Dance Attack and I've made a mix of cutsie Disney channel songs for Julia's younger dance classes. Marcus also has his own playlist complete with Transformers songs and theme songs from Batman, Spiderman, Nightmare Before Christmas and so on. It's so fun!!!

I'm also being a bit obsessive about Elisa's birthday post...I just can't make it sound right!!!!! I should have her write it.
