NaBloPoMo 2019 ::Day 11::
Nevermind that I skipped days 4 through 10… what can I say? I sign up for these things whether I’m really into it or not, and then I FAIL. I didn’t want a prize anyway. Boo.
A few weeks ago I got this midday text message from my sister-in-law: “Do u have the twilight series books???”. Well, of course I do, plus the movies that have come out so far on Blu-ray. I texted her back, which started this whole texting flurry about what happens, and does Edward ever change Bella, and on and on and on. I am not one to spoil a surprise, but I answered a few of her questions. She couldn’t wait for me to bring the books to her (even though I was coming for a visit just a couple of weeks later), so she got 2-4 from the library, skipping 1 altogether (sacrilege!!). By the time I got there she had finished them. I wouldn’t say she neglected her children in order to read them, but my brother took some very incriminating footage…
Since then, I have been trying to figure out what to get her for her upcoming birthday. It must be Twilight-related, and I think the cheesier, the better. I figured I’d see what I could find on Etsy, just by searching “twilight”. Here’s what I found… 3 cheesy, 3 not-so-cheesy:
1. Vampire Bite Silver and Red Swarovski Crystal necklace from adrienneaudrey. This is more True Blood than Twilight, but SO kitschy either way.
2. Twilight in a Bottle Gathered under the Full Moon from AngiesIris. So, this looney goes out to First Beach under the freaking full moon and bottles sand?
3. Twilight Meadow Bouquet Necklace from LilMissSparkley. GAH.
4. Twilight Bella’s Mittens from KnittingCarnival. These are actually cute. I might even wear them. My sister-in-law won’t need them since she lives in GEORGIA.
5. Hello Moon 8×8 Fine Art Photograph from SherriConley. What a pretty moon!
6. Bloodrop bracelet from edor. I actually think this is kind of pretty; it’s something I might actually wear.
But then, I found this, and I think it’s clearly the winner. My sister-in-law’s birthday is just before Christmas, and this will look perfect on the tree…
PERFECT.

How about those post titles, eh? Love the creativity…
My cat is snoring. Loudly enough, in fact, that I can hear him over the dog (also snoring) and the sound of FedEx planes taking off from the nearby airport (they’re pretty loud). I suppose I can consider this preparation in the event I ever meet a man and subsequently share a bed, right?
Tomorrow evening I promise to write something worthy of reading, rather than this meaningless stuff I’ve put out so far this month. There may even be pictures… we’ll see.

Almost forgot to post today! We had a lot of chaos at work today, but in the midst of all of that, I found time to GO VOTE. It’s the most important thing I did all day, and it only took 5 minutes. If you voted too, good for you! If you didn’t, well, for shame. We’re lucky to have the freedom to participate in a democratic election, no matter the result. Happy Election Day!
