"Eclipse" can also mean 'small splurge'

I had a bit of a splurge today. I rarely get together with both my baby sisters at once anymore. With the middle one getting married and the youngest just beginning to figure out her life, there's rarely time for sisterly bonding. We spent the weekend together a few weeks ago and aside from the babiest and I hissing at each other once, it was a great time. We rattled on about the wedding and life and dresses. My sisters mother is getting married in October - one month before my sis - and we all gabbed about all things "white and lacy." Anyway, I got online today and ordered 3 tix to the opening night of Eclipse. Darnit, I don't care that I'm 32 and I'm gonna be mobbed by a boatload of insane teenaged nuts.. I will use my "toss-my-hair-back-I'm-awesome-and-older-and-wiser" tone and get in where the gettin' is good. I plan to arrive a million hours early with a book and find the best seat in the house. I will shove my neighbors elbow off the rest and enjoy my movie-going experience with the siblings and love every minute of it.
Tonight I became addicted to yet another tv show. Since I got the cable back I have been doing my best to get involved in as little tv as possible. Life was nicer when I wasn't planning my life around shows. But - I have a few weaknesses. I have found that I love Ghost Whisperer- and I love the fact that it fills my tear quotient for the day each time I watch it. I haven't followed it, I probably haven't seen one new episode - but some channel called 'Ion' has reruns (and I mean like 4 in a row) on a few nights a week and I love it. I have also taken a HUGE liking to Cake Boss. Living in PA, I have decided to trek into Hoboken at some point soon and visit the shop. SO excited. Drop Dead Diva is the best - SO loving it. I caught up on the first season on-demand and I'm hooked. And now my newest obsession. Pretty Little Liars. It's strange that the moms on the show are all the coolest from my hay-day. One from Melrose Place. One from the movie North Shore. One from Charmed. It's hilarious to me that my generation is now "the Mom." When did this happen?? I know I'm a mom and my son is freakin' EIGHT now.. and "3 days from being a third grader!" as he keeps pointing out, but hey.. I'm still young and hip and awesome. Sheez.. ok so the fact that I used the word hip may have aged me a bit, but whose paying attention??
I'm also looking forward to the new Valerie Bertinelli show on TVLand tomorrow night. Sad but true. I'm gaining weight by the day, no boyfriend in sight, so guess what?! I'm gonna enjoy my tv. I have an appt to get blood work done as I think my thyroid meds might need to be adjusted. I've gained a lot in a short period of time and it's not making much sense. I don't eat great, but I dont eat enough to pack on pounds so fast.
Anyway, I can't sleep so I'm gonna get in bed and watch some Reba on DVD and thank God I can work from home tomorrow in my pjs. Just hope my back stops acting up - since Ohio I'm so stiff it's awful.
Good night and happy TV to you all :)
