Girls Nite Out...The Winner Announced...AND My Twilight Movie Review

After my party at home we piled in the Escalade (that was in desperate need of a bath)...

The rearview mirror decoration

I tucked my paperback copy of Twilight and the Movie Guide in the seat pockets, added pics from the movie, and had a gift bag in everyone's seat. My AWESOME BIL (Lil Sis's Hubby) made me a DVD with 4 Twilight trailers and the "Decode" music video on it. He even made a PLAY screen with Rob Pattinson introducing the trailers. He is so technologically gifted and very generous to do this for me! Thanks BIL!

These are the gift bags.

Each gift bag contained an apple, vampire teeth, a bag of "Well, It's no irritable grizzly," and an ornament I made using a fork (Forks, WA is the setting for Twilight). I used glitter and wrote twilight and 11-22-08 so they could remember celebrating with me! This is where the drama started...SIL thought the ornament was hilarious and MIL said she thought I was "losing my ever-loving mind." I found their gift bags thrown in the floor of my car the next day. Everyone else loved them. This is what I am giving away PLUS a Twilight key chain... I used random.org for the first time... It was fun!

And the winner is...

Congrats Sondra! I LOVED reading everyone's gifts to me! I LOVED them all!

We started our evening with some shopping! Lil Sis did our vampire makeup...it was a little weird since I never wear anything....

Manga Dork's 2 BFFs were so fun! These are 2 really great gals.

We had dinner at one of my fave restaurants, Cheddars (not chinese believe it or not). If you look closely there is a cherry stem sticking out of my straw...I tied the knot with my tongue...now that is a great "skill." LOL!

The waitress brought me some yummy ice cream...thank goodness they don't sing! I hate that!

Now for the DRAMA...SIL wanted to go to Cabella's...no one else wanted to go so we pulled up to the front of the store and let her out (MIL tagged along with her). I told her she had 15 minutes...20 at the most...

8:10...SIL enters store

8:33...I call SIL on cell and tell her we have to go to the theatre. She says she is walking out the door.

8:38...I call again and tell her that if she was walking out the door it shouldn't take 5 minutes cause I am parked in front of the door. She says they are coming...

8:42...Lil Sis loses her cool and goes in the store to find them...

8:49...I call SIL's cell and Lil Sis answers. They were in the very back of the store. I tell her to tell SIL that I am leaving at 8:55 with or without them...

8:55...I call again and Lil Sis goes in the store again. She comes back and says they are in line behind about 10 people. I lose my cool and go in store. I ask MIL where SIL is. She says she is second in line. I tell her I am leaving and she needs to go to the car if she wants to go. I find SIL in line behind 5-6 people. In front of everyone...I tell her I am leaving as soon as I get to the car and she needs to come NOW!

9:00...MIL comes to the car and SIL has the nerve to stay in line. I put the car in drive and pull out. Lucky for my SIL she appears and I circle back to get her...

She was not apologetic. I truly believe she didn't care. We were sitting in the car on girl's nite out for 50 minutes so she could buy (hold on to your shorts!) A PACKAGE OF SOCKS!

I was fuming...to be honest as I write this I am still upset...but I let it go for a while and we headed to TWILIGHT!

We were very lucky that it was not crowded and my SIL's irresponsible and rude actions did not affect much. So here is what I thought...

I have so many thoughts that I probably will be very "choppy" but I also wanted to be careful not to ruin it for those who haven't watched.

Every setting was perfect! Bella's room was a little disappointing. The Cullen house was not what I had imagined while reading, but I loved this version better. Casting was perfect...I don't think I have a single complaint...other than I imagined Victoria with redder hair and I was pronouncing "Laurent" wrong! Charlie was SO likeable. He really stood out. Loved the gun scene and his protectiveness. The scene where she tells him "vampire" was a little weird for me...I love where he presses her against the rock. The meadow scene was disappointing. The baseball scene was one of my favorites. The bedroom scene was HOT!...he hit that wall hard though! LOL! I loved the cooking scene with the interaction of the Cullens. Emmett is too cute. The fight scene was a little more graphic than I expected. Love when Alice gets blood on her hand. She is just adorable and I love her even more...can't wait to see her more. I loved it and was hoping to see it again...but Dr. Hubby says he will just wait for the DVD (boo hoo). I can't wait to see NEW MOON!

I tried to make the evening special for everyone...it was my best birthday since my 18th!

Hope you enjoyed hearing about my celebration...there will be 2 empty seats next year though...anyone want to come...
