the saga continues

This post is long overdue, but with the countdown beginning to New Moon I realized that I just had to blog about my fun girls night. For my birthday I got my girls together for a yummy dinner at Fuzio (my favorite restaurant--thanks to my time at UC Davis) and a "slumber party" (if we are allowed to have those at our age) at the downtown Hyatt for a Twilight marathon.

This summer my girlfriends and I started reading the Twilight Saga and I must admit, it's become a bit of an obsession. I was dead set against it at first. Jaime and Danielle started reading the series and I was totally turned off. Who wants to read about vampires and werewolves? I mean, come on--all that is crazy. But then Sandy read them and convinced me to just give them a chance. So I picked up a copy of Twilight and honestly didn't really put it down until it was finished. Then came New Moon--same story. Then Eclipse (which I actually read on the drive to and from San Francisco--Brad says I can't claim that I have motion sickness anymore). Then Breaking Dawn. All in two and a half weeks time. And these are long books. By the time I was done I had convinced nearly every around me to pick up the books and read them (even my own mom.)

So when my birthday rolled around I knew exactly what needed to happen. A Twilight Girls Night. And we had sooo much fun. Jaime made a super yummy cake, we enjoyed some wine, and watched Twilight (again) together.

We've vowed to have another party after the 12:01 am showing of New Moon this November 20th.

Thanks ladies for a great and memorable birthday. Can't wait until our next all nighter!

I could have written this! Except we snuck away during nap time to enjoy the movies. :) I was SO against getting into all of the sparkly vampire stuff, but it is SO good! Oh, and I think I'm leaning towards Team E. :) So glad you had such a fun birthday!

So, I just saw New Moon last night and all I could think through the whole movie is, "Whoa! Megan IS totally Alice!!!" It was great. :)
