Quirky Tag / 6 Very Un-Spectacular Things About Me

I was tagged by Carly with the Quirky tag and then tagged by Shelly with the 6 Un-Spectacular Things About Me. They are basically the same tags and I'm just a little behind..hehe! Thanks Carly and Shell :)

The Rules:
-Link the person who tagged you.
-Mention rules on your blog.
-Tell about 6 quirks of yours.
-Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same.
Leave a comment to let them know.

1. I have a SERIOUS shoe and purse fetish. I have purses just hanging out in
my closet just in case I get bored with what I am using now. I usually don't
retreat back to them though, I just go out and by new ones..hehe! I have to
admit, I have tons of shoes and most of them are just hanging out with the
purses in the closet..HA! I don't wear most of them, but I don't have the
heart to get rid of them..I might need them "someday". If I go into a shoe
store, I have to try on shoes no matter what...even if its not for me. I <3>
SHOES!!

2. You know that "Hillshire Farms" commercial? Yep, that one! I find myself
singing along to it when it comes on tv..HA! "When I say Hillshire...you say
Farms... Hillshire....Farms....GOOO MEAT! LOL

3. I guess I need to go back to school and take an English course and refresh
my vocabulary..hehe! I find myself saying, " More Better". For instance, using
it in a sentence, "I like this book more better than that one." For some
reason, it just seems to roll off my tongue, but it is not proper english..LOL

4. I'm terrified of spiders! I will NOT go into a room if I know that there is one
in there dangling from the ceiling! Eeek..

5. I ALWAYS need to figure out what clothes I am going to wear for work the
next day the night before. And If i really can't decide...I ask Bethie. HA!

6. During the week I usually shower at night so that Bethie and I have more
time to get ready in the morning, because we have to share a bathroom.
I don't know why, but I like coming up with different ways to style my hair
because I get bored with it fast. I find myself trying to come up with that
new hairstyle for like 20 minutes before I get in the shower. 20 minutes
later, Bethie is wondering what is happening and why the shower hasn't
started yet..LOL

I tag Brittany,Loni, Ashley and Kristin.

The End!!

I finally finished Breaking Dawn, the last book in the twilight series. I'm not going to give you any spoilers as there is still twilight fans out there reading this book, but I do have to say that it WAS NOT my favorite.
For one thing, I think Stephanie Meyer carried some things out in the book WAY too much! For me there were good parts, yet alot of very boring parts and It didn't end as good as I thought it would.
I can't believe that I went to walmart at midnight to get this book and was so excited to read it..only to be let down. :( Don't get me wrong I think that Stephanie Meyer is an excellent author , but I just wasn't in to it this time.
I am really looking forward to the Twilight movie that comes out in December because that is my all time favorite book.

The Release...

On this day, August 2nd,2008 at 12:01a.m. the long awaited release of Breaking Dawn and possibly the looooooongest day of my ENTIRE life!!
It all started when I pre-ordered a book on Amazon.com and then realized that it said that the book wasn't going to ship until the 4th of August. Excuse me...I have waited how long for this book to come out? So, I cancelled my order on Amazon and just decided to go to walmart and get one when it came out.
Brittany texted me and asked me when I was going to go get the book. I told her around 11:30ish. She said, "well I should come with you and we can have a sleepover." I told her that would be fine and to come on over.
We just kind of hung out for awhile and then the closer it got to midnight the more anxious I got. I kept asking Bethie what the time was and she was just getting more irritated with me LOL. I was really antsy and I just couldn't sit here any longer. So we left at 11.
We headed to McDonalds(for brits sundae) and to del taco for a couple of cheap tacos. All this waiting made us hungry I guess...haha! We kept looking over at walmart to see if there may be a line, but all we saw was a gazillion cars...YIKES!
We finally make it to walmart...sitting in the car in the parking lot, eating our tacos and watching groups... and more groups of girls walk in to the store. At this point, I knew we needed to get in there because we knew there would be a line. I don't remember eating my last taco..ha!
We walk into the store and walk to the back where we thought they may have the books. We turned the corner.....and WOW there was the beginning of the line. OMGSH..I though I was going to cry! The line just kept going and going, not an end in sight. We finally found the end and it pretty much wrapped around the entire store...no joke! So we waited.....
It was getting closer to midnight and you could hear everyone start to get excited and then you hear....5,4,3,2,1.....and then just a bunch of screaming. Ok, I thought I was obsessed, but come on...its a book, do you really need to scream?? The line moved pretty fast, I was surprised and I got a book...YAY!! But then it came time to stand in line to check out.....so we waited again.....
I'm not sure what time we left walmart...but I started reading when I got home and read 3 chapters...didn't get to bed until 2:30am.....Yep, it definetely was the longest day of my life!!!

Just so you know....If you don't hear from me for awhile, its because I've got my face buried in a book called BREAKING DAWN.
