Total ECLIPSE of the heart! *singing of course*

Kara was at my house by 5:30, at which time we headed over to Liz's to meet up with the rest of our crazies, and while we were stoppped at a light, this is soooo cool...I look over and see a construction light stand in the road next to us, and low and behold....what does it say on it....

ECLIPSE! ( Oh baby-I knew it was going to be a good night! Bring on the fun!)

We head over to the casino for dinner, and we totally rocked that 65 and over buffet crowd!
Oh yeah! We were the youngest people in there by a good 20 years!



It was nice to be able to sit back, chew our food, and swallow without getting heaping piles of food stuck in our throats because we were so paranoid about old ladies secretly being twihards and possibly getting in line before us that we rushed through dinner. Not so this time.

We were not bent on being the first ones there. We were more along the lines of the 50th in line, so not too shabby. It did sting just a bit not having the mantle to tout that we were the first in line again this year. But ah well.

So we cozied up with our lawn chairs in the back of the hallway, made ourselves comfy, met some new friends, talked Twilight of course, I totally made a t-shirt with the picture of me and Carlisle that I had taken with him the other week. (you can't see it so good in this picture-but it's the bomb.)



We played Catch Phrase and quickly realized that out of the whole crowd of noisy teens and tweens, we were louder than them all! Especially Liz! By the end of the night she actually had some copy cats in the audience. Whenever she would laugh, they would copy in their best Liz impression. Gotta love friends who know how to cut loose. :)



we were having a blast! I totally sneaked in a whole tin of treats disguised in my New Moon trivia game box. No one was the wiser! I would have shared some with the employees, but we had some nazi's patrolling this time and I didn't want to risk losing my goods.


seriously, check out my loot!......and Kara's pocketed macaroons from the buffet!




our token husband. Isaak stayed home this time, so Jason came with Brandi. And he liked it.


One minute before the movie....I was a little, ugh, excited. :) (dude, check out my shirt! flippin' awesome!)


we were nearly the oldest people in the crowd this year. There were a few, and I'm talking a few older than us in attendance, but not too many.....it was packed with younglings. And might I add, not nearly as hard core as us!

Cheers ladies! It was a blast!

me, Alexis, Sherri, Brandi, Kara, Liz


Favorite moments.....
all of us getting carded going into the casino
feeling so young at the buffet
feeling so old at the theater
our waitress being mesmerized with Liz's phone
Liz and Kara stealing desserts like a couple of old ladies :)
being serenaded by Liz to Justin Bieber songs!
talking to Holly in line
laughing hysterically
Brandi's ta-ta action
being louder than everyone else there!
Liz's contagious belly laugh
getting 'cryogenic' in Catch Phrase
making fun of the 'Tool'
strangers coming up and asking to borrow my magazines (how did no one else think to bring Twilight related reading material?)
being called "Ma'am"...a lot.
the kid behind me asking, "excuse me, what is the last name of that Beatle who's first name is George?" Dude. For real? Apparently he thought I looked plenty old enough to know the answer, which of course I did.
hitting our 20th wind and getting louder and louder
the movie, or course
sitting on the edge of my seat, literally
spying on Kara's reactions
listening to Liz giggle like a tween


....and just pretty much in general the whole.entire.night.
