Wishful Wednesday ...

Disclaimer:  My mister will HATE this post ...

Sweet Kelsey over at The Seattle Smith's does this fantastically FUN feature (try saying that 5 times fast) at her adorable blog called ...  

Wishful Wednesday (if you haven't done it before) works like this.  Tuesday night, Kelsey puts out the Wishful Wednesday topic (giving all of you that need a little time to think and mull things over, unlike those of us that just say whatever comes to mind WHENEVER it comes to mind ...) Then, on Wednesday you post on your blog about that topic and do some little do-dad called McLinky (which I'm going to figure out here shortly) and voila!  You have yourself a wishful Wednesday.  So head on over there and participate on your own blog!

This week's topic is ....

'I wish' .... I could play a character's role in a book and it would be Bella Swan!

REALLY?  Do I really have to say it?  From The Twilight Series.  Duh.

And I put a picture of the book because this is how I originally fell in love with, well Edward.

Yes, I said "fell in love".  Let's just be honest here.  I finished the first book of the series (or "vampire porn" as one of my bestest friends' husband puts it) in about 2 weeks.  And if you're not pyschotically addicted a fan (which you should be.  sorry ladies I'm just sayin' it's good for the ... soul ...) these suckers are LO-NG.  It wasn't because the writing is so elequent (it's for 14 year olds, it's not rocket science kids) or because I identified with the main character (she's an akward, yet perfect and sought-after by all the boys, new girl at a new school - let me remind you I was a CHUB-BY, albeit humorous, DEFINATELY not sought-after by all the boys, girl that grew up in the same school district all her life)  It was because I fell in love.  And I mean head over heels.  With a blood-sucking, (only animals that is. thank goodness they didn't get graphic on this part, good ole Stephanie may have lost me) cold-skinned, pale and white as a sheet, vampire.  Edward Cullen.  Gracious that name still makes me giddy.  And ladies, I am a VERY happily married woman, to an incredible man who is all I ever dreamed of and more, and STILL, every day after work, I couldn't WAIT to come home to this guy ...

SQUEEEEAAALLLLLLL.  I will tell you, that when I started reading the book, there was no face to my new obsession crush.  Oh but no matter.  I read on ... and on ... and on ... with giddyness and goosebumps until I literally couldn't keep my eyes open from sleep deprivation.  And my love affair with a fictational vampire began.  However, when the movie came out, it just cemented the face to go with the words on the page.  And what a face it was.  It's okay.  My mister knows he's on my list ... Edward Cullen that is, I DO love Rob Pattinson, but the "person" (I say that lightly) on the list IS, in all actuality, Edward Cullen.  Fangs n' all.

So there you have it friends.  I would be Bella Swan.  OH to be Bella Swan.  And I'm going to go ahead and predict that about 3/4 of the other ladies that do the McLinky thing (whatever that is) will have the same answer.  I mean, COME ON, how could you NOT?!!?  Oh and PS, I'm shamefully about to start reading them again ... I've already prepared myself for the poking fun and Edward-bashing I'm going to get from the mister ... but it's all worth it.

Swoon, squeal, shriek! 

I heart you Edward Cullen.  But I heart my mister more.
