My birthday and the release of New Moon............

After much anticipation, the day finally arrived. On the eve of my birthday and the release of New Moon I held a little party. It really wasn't a big gathering. I had a few friends over and some family. Most of the people there, were the ones that didn't think I was crazy for being so obsessed with this book series. Some are just as obsessed as me. Initially I was going to have a larger group of people, but then I realized that the tickets for the movie had sold out, and I wanted everyone that went to my party to be able to see the movie as well.

It was going to be a sit down dinner, and at the last minute it ended up being very informal. We realized that Harkins Cine Capri was going to sell tickets to Twilight prior to showing New Moon. We needed to get our bodies down there as soon as possible. As you can imagine, the hype for New Moon was twice as big then for Twilight. There were a lot of people at the Twilight premiere, but not like New Moon. A lot of new fans joining the party.

I took Thursday off to do some preparations. Again, didn't do too much since we were only going to be at my house for a few hours. We did manage to have a great time while we were there. We had drinks and appetizers, and I did not leave out the Mushroom Ravioli. No Berry cobbler, just cupcakes decorated with some food color to look like blood. Buddy wanted me to make some garlic necklaces and buy some fangs. Uh.....hello? Did you not read the books? Our Twilight vamps do not have fangs nor do they fear garlic......it's a myth. Just like the sleeping in coffins and going into the sun. We all know that they sparkle in the sun. Well, of course he hasn't read the books, so I really can't blame him for trying. Nice try anyways Buddy.

Tables with the candles turned on, although with my flash, it looks bright.







My friend Mike making the blood red martinis that were oh so yummy!
And after that, off to the theater we went. We entered Twilight when it was half way through. Aww, it was nice to see it again. Then, it was time. We did have very bad seats because of the fact that people were already sitting there. The movie started, and I really, really loved it. I was not disappointed at all. My Edward looked stunning, and he made every ones heart flutter when he walked from his Volvo to meet Bella. It's my favorite scene so far. Oh, who am I kidding? I love the whole thing. At this point, I have seen New Moon ? times. : ) I'm actually not disclosing it this time. All I can say is that I am saving my ticket stubs, yes, stubs. And when it leaves theaters, I just might say how many total times I saw it. I'm not out to break my Twilight record, but if it happens then so be it. I'm going to see it just because I love it. And, I must admit that I did receive a few AMC gift cards for my birthday, so that helps the cause.
And now the wait until Eclipse begins. June 30th it is!

vous êtes conviés

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start. 

Blog Remodel

I am also looking forward to my Blog Remodel. Danielle over at The Design Girl is re-doing my blog. I can't wait to see it. I looked at a lot of Blog designers, and her site was definetly my favorite. If you are interested in customizing your blog, I highly suggest her. I have been on her waiting list for a few weeks now, and I have watched as my name moves closer to the top. And just this weekend, I got to pick my new kit. And, I also changed the name of my Blog. I have been really trying to come up with something that is more "Me". And I am really happy with my choice. Hopefully it will be up and running soon. Keep checking back to see my new blog.
