Be Cool!

I opened my birthday present from Ryan and just started laughing out loud....

He got me the Twilight book. (As in the first book, not the one that just came out!) I know that's ancient history to most of you, but I haven't read any of them yet!

It all started when he learned that his friend, Kennedy Gregson's, Mom reads them and then he heard/saw all the buzz about it on the news when the latest one was released this summer and then he starts to find out that everyone has read them. Thanks a lot, guys, for raising the "standard of coolness" in his eyes! Of course, he became interested and started asking me questions that I just cannot answer because I don't know anything about it! Aaah, the pressure!!! How embarrassing for him to have a Mom who is not doing what everyone else is doing - he can't understand it! He's been asking me when I am going to read them - and I don't commit to anything....I say I don't know when or if I even will. So, he took matters into his own hands...if I'm not going to "help myself," he will do it for me. I realized that he bought me the book in a desparate effort to try to make me cool. (Thus, the laughing out loud) He even said to me, "Promise me you'll start reading it tonight?!" Yah, right...

It's been a week now, and I still haven't done it. It's all your fault - I've heard your stories about how you stop answering your phone, you ignore your kids, you don't shower, fix meals, work, sleep or go anywhere, etc...and it scares me! But, it actually sounds just like my life since baby arrived on the scene 3 1/2 months ago, so how would it affect me?

Although, I am going to Las Vegas this week with only Matt & Brookelle, so I might have a chance to open a book! :)
