Twilight movie - not the most exciting part of my weekend

During the time of the writers' strike, my roommates and I became obsessed with the Twilight books. I believe I have mentioned this in another post. When we found out that the first book would be made in to a movie, we were all thrilled and promised we'd all see it together. After what seemed like FOREVER, the movie finally was released this past weekend! I didn't have a ton of expectations going in to it, which was good because it did not even REMOTELY capture the greatness of the book. I won't go in to too many details just in case there are some reading that haven't seen the movie yet. I think the thing that saved it for me was the audience. Sitting in a packed theater with a bunch of squealing 12 year old girls was priceless. Every time a new male face came on the screen, it was clapping and screaming. They kept me laughing through the entire film. I almost wish I were that young again so I could think it was the greatest movie ever. :)

The rest of my weekend was good. I had an affair with my tv most of the time. I discovered I had On Demand, so I spent a good amount of time watching commercial-free tv. It was a good time. I also spent several hours on Saturday cleaning my bathroom, as the bathroom ceiling was FINALLY fixed on Friday! Hooray! Besides almost passing out in my tub from the chemicals, it was good to get it all spic and span. Saturday night included a viewing of the BYU vs Utah football game at a sports bar with a good group of people.

Sunday was probably the highlight of the weekend. Travis and I decided to go for a bike ride along the Mt Vernon trail, even though the temperature didn't warm up past the high 30's that day. It was sure cold!!! My fingers went all numb and I couldn't feel anything from mid-foot down to my toes. The greatest part was when we finally got back to Trav's vehicle and I was braking to stop my bike. I had unclipped my left foot and was about to set it down when for some reason I suddenly decided to put BOTH feet down.. As I started tipping to the right, I remembered that my right foot was still clipped in to that pedal. Too late. I had no choice but to let gravity take me down. How embarrassing! My first crash on my bike was just because of a dumb change of mind.... when I was completely stopped. Nothing cool like avoiding a squirrel at 20 mph or something. :) I was stunned once I found myself on the pavement, but Travis helped me up and actually asked me if I was ok without laughing. So props to him. Afterward though, we both had a good laugh about it. I wish I could have seen myself. I think people falling down is hilarious! Almost 2 hours later, I got full feeling back in my toes. Seriously. They were numb for that long. I think maybe the hot pizza helped.

Here's to more yummy hot food later this week!
