Dawn Doran

Here’s our backyard moon.

I finished the Twilight Saga today. Sigh….

I am sort of sad.  It’s been a fever of 2500-ish pages all told, in just under 2 weeks.  That’s a lot for me!  I generally keep a book going for a while.  Savor it.  Not these.  Total freak-out fanatic I was.

I have been sharing with Erin next door  ( and Jim has even started it)…

I have been getting emails  and texts from Erin that have increased in urgency–like this earlier in the day–

FINISH IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

That message would be in reference to  Breaking Dawn, the last one. lol.  I have decided this book is my favorite of the series. She has it in her hot little hands now.

I was no better;  I finished the first in a day and then was on the phone to Peg–

” Has you daughter read the Twilight Books?  How many of them does she have?  Daughter– I am not sure I know where they are… Me- FIND ME ONE!   Can you find the others soon??”

She did, and the right one first !

I had to stalk the librarian for the others.  When you check the online system, them are all checked out or on hold.

Anyhow,  Guess I’ll just wait for the movie now.

I think I can get back to life now, though I will miss it.  Just in case I get weak , there is always Twilght MOMS– a sort of support group for people like Erin and I who have lost days or weeks to this romantic vampire epic.  Where was Muggle MOMS when I needed it?? Enjoy this…

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE whose life turned upside down when you read Twilight? Is your house a disaster with piles of piles of laundry in every corner and stacks of dirty dishes at record breaking heights? Have you imagined your husband is a vampire (or werewolf) and suddenly have the libido of newlywed again? Do you convince yourself that “cold cereal” makes a perfectly wholesome dinner? Is the pizza delivery boy now on your Christmas card list? Are your children free to run a muck as long as no one comes too you bleeding . . .(too badly)? Oh, you feel guilty, but that’s not enough! You still can’t tear yourself away from the book and damned be the consequences! The good new is- YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Fans of the Twilight Series in OUR STAGE of life (whether you’re a mom or not) now have a place where we can gather unashamed of our irrational obsession with vampires and werewolves. We have a place where “our kind” can relate without having to wade through all the teenage Internet code mumbo jumbo like “OMG!!! IMHO Edward is sooo Hawt!!!” (usually a dead giveaway that you should be doing your social studies homework for 3rd period instead of playing on the computer.) FYI, it was a group of 14/15 year olds that “changed” me. However, OUR world of balancing family, work, home, marriage AND…our Twilight obsession is unique, fun, and oh, so very humorous. The personal stories and experiences I’ve heard and read from women all over the world are a blast. YOU LADIES ROCK!!! …and “Twilight Moms” is dedicated to YOU!!! Enjoy this little corner of the Internet that is just for us. Explore the web site, keep up with breaking news and join the forum.
