Got a new car!  Headed to Galveston in May!  Semester's coming to a close soon!  Giving my last speech on Monday (Persuasive: For Legalizing Marijuana)!  Bout to write a 3000 word paper for psych!

Told ya it'd be quick!

In preparation for the prequel to the greatest movies ever made i just finished reading "The Hobbit."  The "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy is by far the most outstanding of movies ever created, and if you disagree, well sorry - you're just wrong.    Unfortunately, as much as i LOVE to read, i had never read the books.  Any of them.  This time, i was going to read the book first, even months upon end before the movie came out.

All i can say is wow.  I simply CANNOT wait for this movie.  And given the trailer, i think it will be pretty damn amazing.  I'm not one to wait in line for hours on end to see the newest "epic" (ahem- "The Hunger Games").  Normally no matter how badly i want to see the movie (and i'm not dissing "The Hunger Games" - on the contrary i'm dying to see it!!), i will wait until the crowds die down.

To "The Hobbit" i say, screw that!!  I will be first in line.  I was going to do so anyway, considering how i have the epic trilogy practically memorized and have been waiting for a long time for this movie, but after reading the book i simply can't wait.  I die a little inside each time i realize i have to wait until December.  All i ask is Lord please let me live until i see this movie.  Then you can bring me home.

For the few poor tortured souls out there not familiar with the story line, it centers around mythical creatures, mostly hobbits.  (Though elves, dwarves, wizards and other such creations are highly involved.)  Now you may be saying to me, "Nerd.  I'm not into that kind of stuff."  Maybe not.  But that doesn't mean you should pass this movie by.  Or the trilogy if you haven't seen it.  The underlying story is so powerful you won't care that its "nerdy." 

Oh, "The Hobbit" is wonderful and i can't wait to see it.  I could read this book over and over again and never tire of it.  (Meaning i can't wait to move on to "Lord Of The Rings.")  For those of you who realize the pure epicness of this movie (yes, i just made up a word... deal), and are right there with me, i will be standing in line with you... no matter how many miles away from you i may be.  Oh, come December!!





P.S.  Did i mention this story is epic??

Nothing special to this entry.  Just updating my life right now.  Off of spring break and getting back into the swing of school since i didn't pick up a book during my break!!

I'm on Weight Watchers now.  Just started yesterday and i'm relearning how to eat healthy.  I'm liking it though, because i don't feel like i'm depriving myself.  I do get hungry between meals because of the smaller portions, but there are so many options with 0 points that it helps. 

I'm heading to Galveston for my first actual vacation in ages here in a few weeks.  Very excited about this!!  We are going to be gone for two full days, but 3 days, really.  We are going to sit on the beach, cache, and have a nice seafood dinner. 

So, i mentioned that my niece is back in our lives.  For those of you who don't know the story, two years ago my sorry excuse for a brother got mad at my dad and yanked her away from both of us.  Well, now they are getting divorced, and his wife (who is becoming one of my best friends in the world) contacted us both.  Emma is 2 1/2 now and a major part of our life again!!  Let me show her off and share some pictures.  :o)
