So I finally finished “Breaking Dawn” a few days ago (the last in the Twilight series). I had to finish re-reading the first 3 before I started. Which meant my Amazon delivery sat untouched on the dresser for almost a week – taunting me. Though during that week I loaned it to my favorite babysitter for a few days in exchange for 3 FREE babysitting jobs! Never underestimate the power of Edward. Anyways, I have to say – Breaking Dawn wasn’t my favorite. Of course it was still good, but it was different than I expected. I think Eclipse is my favorite (the 3rd), with Twilight (the 1st) being a close second.
I got so exasperated a few times reading this last book that I felt the need to explain what was happening to my husband – so that I could vent. Brent got such a kick out of the story line that relaying info from the books became our favorite late night activity. To an outsider, it really does all sound RIDICULOUS. Both of us actually cried a few times we were laughing so hard. Then to top if all off, I actually started reading some of the excerpts that describe how gorgeous Edward is (you know the ones I’m talking about… marble chest carved from stone) – and Brent really thought those were funny. The books really are silly – I’m not quite sure why we’re all so obsessed with them. But obsessed, I definitely am. Sigh.
Anyways – 3 weeks ago when I was immersed in the series – Jake started a new level of swim lessons. When I met his new teacher – JACOB – I immediately thought, “Wow, he totally looks like young Jacob from the books.” Or at least what I imagined. These aren’t the greatest pictures, but can you see where I’m coming from?
Speaking of look-a-likes, I’ve never been someone that people come up to and said, “Has anyone ever told you that you look like this person (insert famous name)?” But in the last few months I’ve had a couple of people marvel at the apparent similarities between myself and both Ashley Judd and Amber Tamblyn. What do you think? Agree or disagree? It’s probably just the dark hair. I don’t know. I took it as a compliment… but maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part.
