My Experience With New Moon......

I went with my thirty-something friends to see NEW MOON....the midnight premiere.  But before that I attented the kick-off party.  We were served blood drinks, Dog Nuggets, and a lot other food with really neat names related to Edward and Bella and other things from the movie. 

The walls were filled with movie posters and the hostess of the party was photo shopped into the poster.  It was a fantastic job.  There were also quotes from the books series all over the walls.  People were dressed in black and one friend wore her red contacts.  It was one of the best themed parties I had ever been to.

At 11:00 we headed for the movies about 10 minutes away.  When we arrived we were greeted by a line that started at the movie ran down the side of the building for about half a block, around the corner and another 200 feet or so.

Once inside we raced to try and find a seat.  Well, there were 16 of us.  We had no chance of sitting together.  There were two theaters open.  We quickly glanced at the first and decided to head for the second.  We started splitting off because there was only a seat here and there. 

Myself and one friend ended up back in the first theater we had walked into in the second row.  My neck was breaking and the commercial stuff was going on and I was getting dizzy.  So, I told her to save my seat while I searched for two more seats...we agreed to use our cell phones to reconnect.

Off I went....I ended up in the theater where we had been before and found two seats four rows back....much better, believe me.  So I called the number on my cell phone, not realizing I did not have her cell number but only her home number.  A man answered.  It dawned on me that I was talking to her husband who was babysitting the kids. 

Well, I quickly explained what I was doing.  I told him I would never remember the number if he gave it to me so he called her and we had a three way conversation.  My friend arrived three minutes later to join me.  We just got comfortable when another of our friends ran by telling us they had opened a third theater and they had two rows saved so we could all sit together...so off we went. 

We sat in the 5th row dead center....What a hoot!!!  After all of that....I was not even close to being sleepy.  We all snuck in snacks and drinks....mine was an orange soda and pretzels(measured out)...(I'm on diet)!  Others had all sorts of vampire related stuff from the party.

Finally the movie started and we could all be heard happily munching....LOL....what an adventure.

I had a blast and we are scheduled to do the next one on June 30th.

Continuing With My Romance Theme....

Now you can visualize the intensity of the movement.

Are we nuts or what to do this?

Do we have a romance with danger?

Arms out...relaxed

Head back....brave

Hair flying...enjoying

A bird

Exilleration!

Comfortable with themselves....

Where lovers can be found...

Where daredevils can be found....

Where flyers can be found....

Where most everyone can be found.....

Where children can be found....

What can be more romantic than going to the fair on a fall evening with your husband, boyfriend, or significant other. Bright lights, a bright moon, screams from people riding terrifying rides, laughter, animals, games and challenges and greasy foods.......wow a fair appeals to all of our senses at once.

Thoughts of Don Quixote....

Continuing on my theme of books and romance, windmills always make me think of Don Quixote. He was a man who was obsessed with the romance novels of his time and because of it kind of lost his mind. So, he set out as a knight errant to do good deeds.......fighting windmills and such. :)

Welcome to my windmills of California. One is listed now in my shop but if you are interested in any just let me know. :)

Thoughts of the Bridges of Madison County.....

I love a good love story and I have to admit the book The Bridges of Madison County is one of my favorites. I couldn't wait until the movie came out. I was not disappointed. While traveling around New England I shot some great covered bridges. They are so romantic. :)

The Fabric of my LIfe Treasure Hunt #4 I like to collect.

POST AT EACH OF THE SIX BLOGS TO QUALITY FOR THE DRAWING.

I love to collect things. My China Cabinet is full of collectibles from glassware to snow globes and more.

I bought the antique wood thingie and it came from a hotel. It has upside down hooks on it because the numbers are upside down under the hooks. I use as a display for my miniature antiques.

This is me after I won the Bounty Contest. All of those ACEOS on my door I won. I was the very first winner of the contest. I love ACEOS and have become quite the collector. I also love to make them.

This is an old type set drawer and it is full of miniatures. I seem to have a great fascination ofr miniatures. Why the other day I saw a tiny colander at the store and I just had to have it.:)

This one is full of more miniatures and an old lighter collection that belonged to my mother. In her generation it was fashionalbe to smoke. She had an interesting collection.
