Twilight

The kids and I saw Twilight yesterday.  We’re going to see it again today with my good friend, C.  She’s seen the movie twice already.  Actually, I’ve mentioned before that she and my oldest daughter are who introduced me to the Stephenie Meyer books.

overheard

Oldest daughter speaking to youngest daughter:
M. says she is more of Breda’s sister than I am.
Hello!  Breda and I have the under the cupboard thing going on!  We’re Soul Sisters!

characteristics

What characteristics do you find draw you to people over and over?

sense of humor
