willkommen zu hause, john

john has been gone for 2 weeks and I am tired. last week he was in germany... frankfurt. it was his first time there and he was lovin' the beer! he would call home at dinner time (midnight there) with a rundown of each days brew. of course he enjoyed the country itself, but the food and drink were his first mention. his favorites? dark chewy ones that i have no interest in.
he flew home late friday to leave again monday for a week in cleveland. not quite as glamorous but he's been making the best of it. he's coming home today and i am happy. ross and i miss him terrible. last week ross baked john a chocolate cake to welcome him home. this week he wants to make brownies. i hope john stays put for a while. his traveling isn't good for my diet.

twilight... i just can't help myself!

i'm a 'twilight' junkie and i can't help myself! i've been plowing through the 4 book series since christmas, losing hours on end... staying up till 2am, reading till my eyes burn!

i am talking, of course, about stephanie meyers' 'twilight' series; a story of teenage vampire love! hokey...yes, but i've convinced myself that these books, much like the harry potter books, appeal to all age groups... and that includes 40-something moms! however, embarrassing that it may be, i can't help but giggle like a highschool girl as the story unfolds wondering if they're ever going to do it... "i smelled his cool breath in my face; sweet, delicious. it was unlike anything else. instinctively, i leaned closer, inhaling." **sigh**

now, i've seen the movie (already come and gone from the theaters) and i liked that, too. rent it. it's worth a buck. make it a date night. you won't be sorry.

i must admit, i haven't been this enthralled with anything since my michael jackson days (joanie, do you remember?). but all is good. i guess this means i'm just a silly teenager at heart, trapped in the life of a happily married, working mom.
