My very indulgent husband.

On a whim I decided to go out and see the Twilight movie last night. Ben looked at me like I had two heads when I asked him, but I just had to get out of the house. I had had two days in a row of being stuck in the house with nothing to do but study, watch the mice, clean or watch the rain and I honestly thought I was going to lose my mind. I am really not a home body and I find it really hard to take if I have to stay inside too long. The house becomes this gigantic box that slowly closes in on me.

The movie wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible either. The actors who played Bella and Edward did a good job, but some of the casting choices for the other characters I found rather odd. Also, the editing and sound stuff was totally weird to me. It was pretty choppy and seemed rather unpolished. I realize that there is a ton of content in those books. If she had one that was under 500 pages then I would be surprised. But, it just didn't seem to flow naturally. I don't think it was really that close to the feel of the book. It would be hard to please me with a movie based on that book though since I loved it so much, so, all in all, it wasn't so bad.

Maggie and Ben did a daddy and daughter trip to Publix while I was gone. It is hilarious how little it takes to please Maggie. She loves to do stuff with her dad. I guess they just picked up a few things for dessert (we went to have sushi for dinner) and played a bit with Pfiff and Fluff. I was home early enough to get her to bed at a reasonable hour and to read to her. Since I have been reading so much lately, what with that Twilight series that took over my life for two weeks, she has started to carry a chapter book around with her with a bookmark in it. It is too cute for words! So, we read a little of that, too, along with what she always asks for . . . Petterson and Findus books. She is obsessed with Petterson and Findus. They are really cute books about a farmer and his rascal cat. The illustrations are really great, too. You can always find something new in the picture.
