Twidiet update...

I have assigned every pound I have to loose a character in the saga. So far I am 29.8 characters down. Yes, I have a lot to go but it is a fun way to measure my progress.
In just a few more pounds I will reach my first goal. As my little reward I am treating myself to my first real hair cut in years. My hair is now down to the middle of my butt. The reason I grew it out was so I could donate it to Locks of Love. I am so close to my goal now that I have had to research what I need to do to donate my hair. Luckily it is easy, goes to a great cause, and I get a fancy new hair cut to go celebrate taking care of me!

My Twilife...

It never stops amazing me how Twilight has changed my life. It makes me wonder what I would have done without it. What would my life be like without my twisisters? How would I channel my crafting energy? And would I ever have become a reader again? For so many years I had stopped reading for pleasure. Too many hours of too many days were spent reading Dr. Suess, involved farm animals, or were based on a PBS cartoon! I guess that is just part of being a mom though.
When I found twilight it was like a door opened. I found myself at the Library after that picking up a book here and there. Soon I found I was searching for books and other authors that my sister had recommended. As well as reading books that were coming out as movies that some of my favorite Twistars were also in. Here I am 18 months later with piles of books to read and waiting for more books (Including Stephenie's Newest saga book) to come out!
Twilight has given me a little piece of me back!
