Confessions of a Twilight Addict

I stayed up LATE on Sunday to watch the VMA awards show. Some that tuned in wanted to see Taylor or Beyonce perform, some wanted to see who took home the award for best artist of the year,

BUT I

was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the preview for NEW MOON

fantasy-romance novel

sometimes I {feel/think/wish} it was real

new moon is my least favorite book of the saga

Edward is not in it

Some Ed-haters claim that Jake is better because he is there for Bella throughout this book

The truth: Edward ends their relationship to PROTECT Bella, get over it team jacob

BLAST FROM THE PAST evening

{chelsea} of cache county

Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?"
{Anne Shirley}

----i would consider myself in the running for your present day Anne Shirley----

Ok so I am not an orphan,
I do have two parents that are my benefactors.

And I wouldn’t call my hair carrot-red,
but I do have auburn (red in the sun) hair.

Anne of Green Gables is a story by Lucy Maud Montgomery. Everyone living should have already read this classic novel. This is one of my favorite tales of all time. I grew up on this book, movie, and the tv show Avonlea.

The story centers on Anne Shirley, a red-headed orphan, with a wild imagination and a talent for getting into trouble. Imagination is central to Anne’s existence. She wants to find out about the world and she doesn’t fear what the world has in store for her. She has dreams and lives every day to its fullest.

I don’t know how many people that read this get to be around me all of the time, but the ones that are around me do know how BIG my dreams are these days. Live in London…. Humanitarian healthcare work in Africa…. Climb machu picchu in Peru.

But the thing is now is the time to be bolder, to dare to achieve, to begin something worth doing in my life. I’m young, and I love to be young.

I want to have the same outlook and optimism that Anne Shirley had. She followed her dreams even when there were obstacles in her path. And along the way she made “kindred spirits.” She had the attitude to approach each new day as a journey to accomplish what you want and desire.

Will it be easy?
{Not likely}
Will it be worth the work, the risk, and the leap of faith on my part?
{Absolutely}

She lives in a place called Prince Edward Island. And who wouldn’t thrive in the environment with the name like this?!?

Aunty Chelsea?

I have come to the conclusion that THERE IS one great thing about having friends that are married…. I will give you a hint? First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the _______ in the ________ carriage! A BABY! Yes the happy married couples can make BABIES! One of my best friends Kaci Lee (Haney) is prego! Wahoo! And she is going to be a great mama! I cannot even tell you the feelings I had when she called me and gave me the GREAT news! I thought it would be weird when my first good pal had a child, but the word to describe this event is epic. So Kaci is due in April and that is already so soon! I already know what their babe will look like because I blended their faces together on a website... good news KACI, boy or girl you guys will have a cutie pie!

I used to spend my spare time on facebook or surfing clothing store websites dreaming that I could afford every outfit from Anthropologie and J. Crew. But now, my computer time is put to good use while I look at baby apparel sites like Baby gap, Ralph Lauren, Childrens place, and oh many more!

In the past couple days I have come to the realization that the one thing that is more exciting than buying my own clothes is buying clothes for a new babe! I am going to spoil this little cherub rotten. Boy or girl, I am going to be an AUNT! Well um sort of! And all this talk about the clothes well don’t even get me started on decorating! There are so many CUTE ideas for a new baby’s room. HELLO POTTERY BARN KIDS! From the wall color to the things as simple as the crib sheets, everything is so exciting! Anyways Kaci CONGRATS and I am so happy for you and Ryan. Let the countdown begin!
