I'm intent on renting it. I just finished the first book in the series. It was okay, I mean I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and twilight is in no way Harry Potter.<br /><br />As far as I can tell, Twilight is written mostly for teenage girls with rampaging hormones and a taste for bad buys that are really good boys. In my opinion, Harry Potter, appeals to a much wider audience.<br /><br />Still, I'm looking forward to the movie. And it will be nice to say hello to Cedric Diggory again.<br /><br />On another note...I have a new bag ready for Easter Bunny fun!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22529762"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 341px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdjij8_PTQAygOGPY6IbqTvE0aca9_xBJrsZ5S9W8tFDPL7716aHrlBzx78xJiflay9cjwddiXh55rKrYEV6H-PFTRAUaPwfjC5GgGZQdP_FZ3fAHM3weesh-1My8NJ4mh7FPOu7eRR_Y/s400/easter1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315321421307146818" border="0" /></a>bagsbyapril.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10841600710619572372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008016536960934524.post-25446710160320520802009-03-07T17:11:00.000-08:002009-03-07T17:29:25.524-08:00700 people applying for ONE janitorial job!Has anyone else seen this?<br /><br />http://www.cantonrep.com/news/x1569321039/Stark-s-hottest-job-Janitor<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cantonrep.com/news/x1569321039/Stark-s-hottest-job-Janitor"></a><br /><br />Almost 700 people applying for ONE school janitorial job?<br /><br />This scares the crap out of me!

Turns out, she was stolen 2 years ago from a pet store in Delaware. Now, she is at the Portsmouth animal shelter awaiting adoption since the pet store no longer wants a two-year-old dog.<br /><br />Apparently, masses of people were waiting yesterday morning to adopt the dog and screaming at the staff when told she was not yet ready for adoption.<br /><br />Now, I have a Boston Terrier--that was adopted form a local shelter. She is totally cute and the craziest, bossiest, funniest girl around. I can't imagine living with out her. Still, all these people foaming at the mouth to adopt one little dog? AND angry when they can't adopt her right now? What the heck--it is an ANIMAL SHELTER!!! They probably have tons of dogs that ALL need homes!<br /><br />Why to things like this rouse people to do good and adopt but they have tunnel vision and will only consider this one specific dog?<br /><br />http://hamptonroads.com/node/500199<br /><br /><a href="http://hamptonroads.com/node/500199"></a><br /><br />Photo is of my BT girl.bagsbyapril.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10841600710619572372noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008016536960934524.post-45985343550822732432009-02-21T13:05:00.000-08:002009-02-21T13:16:26.475-08:00I'm embarrassed.My New Year's resolution was to blog at least 3 times a week this year.<br /><br />As you can see, today is 2/21/09 and my last post was 9/2/08--obviously I have failed miserably.<br /><br />Very Embarrassing.

When was it...Saturday.<br /><br />First, It was $20.00. <span style="font-weight: bold;">$20.00!</span> OMG! When did tickets get to be $10 a piece? I guess the last movie we saw was American Gangster and I don't remember that being 10 damn dollars a piece!<br /><br />My husband declared it the stupidest thing he's ever spent $20.00 on.<br /><br />Did I like it or not like it?<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Spoilers below so beware!</span><br /><br />I laughed in a few places. Ford looks older...duh. But he was still great. And I liked Shia (sp?) as his new sidekick.<br /><br />I LOVED Cate Blanchett. She was great.<br /><br />I wasn't too keen on the Alien thing.<br /><br />The ants gave me nightmares.<br /><br />And I loved loved loved that Marion and Indy got Married.<br /><br />It was not at all what I expected. I thought it would be more corny and slapstick-y. It WAS corny and slapstick-y but not as much as I expected.

Good grief, I've got picture problems. How does one take good pictures?<br /><br />I don't know how to make my pictures better.<br /><br />Anyway, this bag was made from leftovers of a quilt I made a few years ago...I don't even remember what happened with the original quilt? Who the heck did I make it for? No me...I'm not a blue girl. Pink, lime, and orange are the colors for me.<br /><br />Anyone out there?

A bit nervous, actually, more than a bit! What if I make a fool of myself, what if no one like me? What if no one even reads this? It's like I'm back in middle school.<br /><br />Well, I'm going to do this. Blog, try to promote my website and sell some handbags. Time to get serious. Unfortunately, I'm clueless.<br /><br />I make handbags, my website has been down for a t least a year and now I am trying to get back on track. Anyone care?<br /><br />If you are interested in my bags:<br /><br />www.bagsbyapril.com<br /><br />and on Etsy:<br /><br />bagsbyapril.etsy.com<br /><br />Anyone out there reading this and have any pointers for me? And dear Lord, don't say eBay.<br /><br />Well, enough for today.bagsbyapril.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10841600710619572372noreply@blogger.com3
