I feel like a 14-year old teenage girl right now!

I've been stuck in bed now for pushing 2 weeks now. Most of the time too sick to care about anything else.... except these stupid books! I am officially hooked on the Twilight Series of books. Written specifically for 14-year old teenage girls, it's pretty much the story of love blooming between an ordinary 17-year old girl and the 90-year old vampire she meets in high school. In later books, the story delves deeper into the love triangle she ensnares herself in when a young werewolf catches her eye and she must make a decision between mythical creatures.

Do you get the sarcasm I have???

I may sound sarcastic... but I started reading Twilight, the first of the series, last Tuesday after a bunch of photographer friends where all talking about it. I saw it on sale at Target and though "What the heck... good light summer reading."

Next morning, at 8 am and after staying up until 1:00 am reading, I ran out to Target to get the second book, New Moon.

That afternoon, I was at my hair appointment, realized I would finish the second book that night, so I stopped next door at Barnes and Noble so I could pick up book #3, Eclipse, before going home. Oh oh oh... but I had to, you guessed it, pre-order book #4, Breaking Dawn which, lucky for me, comes out at midnight tomorrow!!

So three books, three days. Obsessive yes, but not totally unheard of (especially if you know how much I love to read and how quickly I devour books). However, since I had nothing better to do when I got really really sick over the weekend, I started back again with book #1 and just finished reading #3 for the second time. Now I've read the entire series, twice, in one week.

It's sick!!

But the sickness gets worse (and we're not talking Tonsillitis here anymore)....
The movie comes out in December!!
I feel like a 14-year old girl right now, giddy with excitement and butterflies!!

I blame you completely for the fact that I was up until all ungodly hours of the night last night reading Twilight. I'm on book #2, and trying to launch my website/blog contest at the same time. Being in the middle of the twilight series doesn't lend itself to getting much work done.
