hello, my lovely twi-hards! just thought i might set up a thread for people to discuss the finer things in life, like taylor lautner, outside of a challenge thread. feel free to pop in just to say hello or rant about any pet peeve that was thrown in your face, or just to let everyone know you're having a nice kind of day. see you around!

    so, we went to see hansel and gretel, and i have to say that it kicked the pants off of snow white and the huntsman.

    can't believe january is almost over. how the hell did that happen?

    hope everyone has a great day!

    OOOOH! I want to see that! It looks awesome! Was it as awesome as the previews!

    Abd it is a given that it would kick Snow White's butt! That movie had *gagh* Kirsten in it.... LOL

    There's a pic going around facebook of Rob's face on Taylor's body..... It is quite yummy..... That is all.....

    Great idea Stacy!!!

    I bought the OK smut magazine today. Rob's photo is on the front and they had a 2 page article/pics regarding him being the next James Bond. Also had photos of Daniel Craig with a comparison of their heights, etc!

    I want to see Hansel and Gretal. I heard the critics gave it crap for review, but I rarely agree with the critics anyway.

    AWWW, their's Meiko^^^.
    Yep, good idea Stacy. Nothing on my mind right now but Twilight crosses it frequently so I will be back.

    Oh, I know! Is everyone excited about The Host? I know I am!!

    So I finally got my copy of the Twilight Ultimate Movie Companion book thingy. If you dont have it yet people, its SPECTACULAR. It has all these little momentos from set- like director notes and red carpet passes and the wedding invite from BD1.

    It was like Christmas.

    that is all.

    MommyCullen....Oh the movie companion sounds pretty cool! Where did you get it?

    Mindy...yes, I am ready to see the Host!

    I'm rereading The Host to get ready for the movie. Two of my daughters got to see a screening, but because the production company made them sign a pretty stiff non-disclosure agreement, the girls won't tell me a thing about it. However, I perceived that they liked it a lot.

    Oh you know how it is....they take a little something that is said and make it into something else. Anyway, Daniel Craig is slated to do 2 more Bond movies and then he plans to start a family with his new wife. Supposedly he has said that he thinks Robert would make a great Bond. I wanna be a Bond girl!

    ^^^I didn't even know this existed (yes, I live under a rock:grumble: ), but I want one!!!

    Would you believe I didn't even know the premise of "The Host" until I saw the preview at the theater during one of my BD2 screenings? (Live under a rock...see above.) I might read the book before I see the movie, though that kind of sci fi usually isn't my thing.

    @surf...Meiko is so cute!

    He looks so much better with dark hair. I have pictures with him in my photos here. He gives the best hugs! (So does Rob's best friend Sam Bradley)

    Not Twilight related at all, but I'm completely in love with Adam Levine and I was reading his twitter feed (yes, I had time on my hands dealing with hubby). This tweet from 9/22/11 made this brunette smile.

    "I dont like that when Rapunzel's hair loses it's magical powers it turns from blond to brown. Brown is magical too dammit."

    *sigh*

    The Host was quite moving....rumor is she is working on a sequel, but who knows. I hope she is writing something to be released soon!

    Has anyone heard if Target or Walmart will be having a midnight release party for the BD2 DVD?
    I have Googled, but haven't found any mention of it anywhere. March 2nd is getting awfully close!
    Thanks!

    So it's been a rough day, I'm feeling low, and I'm the only one awake at 11pm. I don't want to go to bed just yet, so I flip on the t.v. with the intent of finding something lighthearted to take my mind off my troubles. As I scroll through the menu to see what's on, my day instantly improves. Why? TWILIGHT is on!! Yes, I have the DVD, but for some reason I tend to watch it more often when it comes on t.v. I'm so lucky that it's just where Edward has Bella up in the trees showing her his world. Not long after is the kissing scene in her bedroom. Yup, feeling better all the time.:tongue:

    i'm the same way! okay, not with tv, because we don't have any channels, but with the radio. i can always play my favorite songs from my ipod, but when my favorite songs come on the radio by chance, they sound so much better! hope today is a good one for you! :flowerforyou:

    i've been a nanny for a family since the summer of 2009. so when june rolls around, i will have been working with them for four full years. since the beginning, my employer has paid me for an extra 30 minutes per day to assist with gasoline and the wear and tear on my car. which was incredibly generous. at the beginning of this school year, she sent me a note about how she didn't remember how that started and that was fine, but it was really too much to pay me and the band teacher and the afterschool for the same time. i had just started my half-time teaching position, so i told her i understood and that it didn't really seem fair (even though it was originally her idea), so don't pay me for that 30 minutes since i have a new job. no biggie. done deal.

    fast foward to now. the hours that i work have been slowly declining due to after school activities the kids are doing. there are two days a week when i only work for one hour and fifteen minutes. i asked her if she would consider paying me a flat rate for these two days since they were less than 90 minutes and i am driving close to 20 miles to bring her children home. this would come to an extra $8 a week, which over the course of the month would pay for a tank of gas.

    she said she would rather not. and that the extra half hour of pay had been a temporary thing.

    i'm a little upset. she spent 3 years paying me an extra $40 a week for the hell of it (and i don't consider three years as temporary), but now when i mention an $8 cushion for gas, she's all against it. i'm trying to figure out the best way to respond. because i'm going to have to insist. it's not worth 30 to 45 minutes of driving for 75 minutes of work.

    boo.

    Okay, just my Opinion here....She wouldn't like it very well if her kids had to walk home or if she had to come get them or have to call for a taxi cab. it is so few hours And now that you have your other job, i would say its an easy segway for you to resign. You have to remember that you are an important person and worth your salt. If you don't demand to get paid what you are worth no one will pay you what you should be paid. You have to look out for yourself. I know it's easier said than done, but you cannot work for free. :flowerforyou:

    hey, everyone! hope you've all had a great weekend. we've been up and down the road all weekend, so it felt good to land back at home last night. my plan was to start 30 day shred today, but i can't find the dvd anywhere. very proud of myself, though, because instead of saying 'oh well, maybe tomorrow' i just threw down with some basics for 30 minutes instead. sure, jillian michael's yelling at me is great inspiration, but i'm so glad i demonstrated some promise of getting my own butt back into gear! happy monday, everyone!
