- Are we getting psyched!!! An article I wrote in anticipation of New Moon's opening this Friday (at 12:01 a.m.) is appearing at BettyConfidential.com. Click on the"Team Edward's Cougar Den ..." (above) for the link. The website is calling the piece "Confessions of a Mom who Loves Twilight." (And P.S. to TheMotherhood: BettyConfidential is providing a link from my piece to TheMotherhood.) I've been listening to the New Moon soundtrack. At first I didn't like it, but now I really do. I especially like the first track, which is all piano, no lyrics. http://www.bettyconfidential.com/ar/ld/a/Confessions-of-a-Mom-Who-Loves-Twilight.html?pageID=1

- Both the actor who plays him and the 'one described in the book' which I think is kinda funny! What do you think? Not a great pic as he hates having his photo taken.

- Melissa posted about her great article already, and I wanted to encourage everyone who loves Twilight to give her some love! Here's the start to her piece on http://www.bettyconfidential.com/ar/ld/a/Confessions-of-a-Mom-Who-Loves-Twilight.html?pageID=1 :If all goes as planned, I will have seen the film version of New Moon, the second book in Stephenie Meyer’s teenage-vampire romance series, twice by 3 p.m. on the movie’s November 20 opening day. After attending the midnight premiere with hoards of screaming teenage girls and young women, and several of my friends (mostly moms like me), I’ll join another pal at the first daytime show, which, since we’re both underemployed and job hunting, we’ll attend while our children and most teens are at school. Like other Twilight devoteés, I bought my tickets weeks in advance. http://www.bettyconfidential.com/ar/ld/a/Confessions-of-a-Mom-Who-Loves-Twilight.html?pageID=1

- I am so excited I am taking my daughter and her friend on Friday at 8:30. I have a friend and we have basically dissected the scenes in twilight and parts of the book in New Moon. I actually read Twilight because it was a book in our book club and then I was hooked I read them all. The funny thing is I was consumed I had to know how it ended and all I talked about was the books. At work I have told all my friends about the book and have encouraged them to read it. I have very high expectations for New Moon since Edwards appearance will be minimal I expect to feel like I felt in the book. Sad that he left but Jacob kept me engrossed enough and then he came back and it was like ahhh.... I think people don't get that it's the story and his character that draw you in. It's not just a crush the way he treats Bella is like a delicate flower and his whole existence is about making her happy and keeping her safe. We kinda expect that from our mates but I guess with work and life everyone can't live like the Cullens.

- I've been resisting, but I think the fever is catching up with me. If I buy them today, how fast do you think I can get the first couple of books read?

- I've been disheartened by having to defend my age and love for the Twilight series. However, there have been some great articles posted on Salon & Jezebel recently. I wrote about this on my blog (http://notjustanotherjen.com/2009/11/dont-defend-celebrate). I want to celebrate the phenomenon that we're getting swept up in! After all, it's so rare that my inner thirteen year old comes squealing out. http://notjustanotherjen.com/2009/11/dont-defend-celebrate

- I'm basing this discussion question on a section of an essay I wrote earlier this week. (Here's a link to the article at http://www.bettyconfidential.com/ar/ld/a/Confessions-of-a-Mom-Who-Loves-Twilight.html as well as on my http://www.lifesupportformoms.com .) Here goes: My friend has a theory about why some grown women are, as Bella declares about herself, “unconditionally and irrevocably in love with” Edward Cullen, and why others don’t succumb to his charms. “The women who love Edward and Twilight are the ones who had a passionate love affair when they were younger,” she said. According to this theory, Twilight takes women back to those feelings — of wanting someone so badly and being wanted by him, of feeling desired, cared for, protected. Women who never had those passionate feelings can’t relate in the same way to Edward and Bella’s love story. “They don’t miss what they never had,” she says. “We miss what we had.”I think she has a point! What do you think?

- Okay, who saw it and what did they think? I'm dropping my teenage daughter off after school at the movie theater to buy some tickets... debating whether to have her go ahead and buy a ticket for her 9yo sister to see it with us (myself included)? Or should I go see it first and wait to take my youngest making sure it's okay for a 9yo before taking her or not? We did see Twilight but that was on DVD and after I had seen it first and could fast forward through anything too scary (although she wasn't scared - she loved it). What does everyone think about taking children younger than 13 to New Moon... too scary or not? Any opinions?

- I went to the midnight show last night! Lots of fun. All 11 screens at the theater, and probably 90 percent female, so the gals had to storm the men's room. The film got bad reviews, but I enjoyed it. When Edward is in the movie he's mostly looking anguished--about loving Bella, leaving Bella, returning to Bella, etc.

- For those of you obsessed with Rob Pattinson (aka. Edward Cullen) you can see him in the Harry Potter series as well. He played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

- I just saw it and absolutely loved it!!!! Of course, I would have loved to see more of Edward but they did a great job of trying to incorporate him as much as they could without changing the story line. I loved the ending - every women in the audience just sighed when we saw it!

- Saw it and thoroughly enjoyed myself, despite what the critics are saying. One question: Does anyone know what Jacob said to Bella that sounded like it might have been in Quileute language?

- Click the title, above, for a link to a Washington Post article about us. (i.e. the Twilight obsessed, the Twilight moms.) Here's a sampler: "People, be warned. "New Moon," the "Twilight" movie sequel, opens on Friday. Everyone is vulnerable. One minute you're a functioning member of society, the next you're succumbing to the dark side, wondering how deep you're willing to go -- and what that longing says about you." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/18/AR2009111804145.html?sid=ST2009111804551

- The results are in ....LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" smashed the record for a single-day opening at the North American box office, and was on track to score one of the biggest weekend tallies of all time, according to preliminary data issued on Saturday.The vampire romance sequel earned $72.7 million across the United States and Canada on Friday, a figure that includes record-breaking midnight sales of $26.3 million, said the film's closely held distributor Summit Entertainment.The old record for a single-day opening was $62.2 million, held by last year's "Batman" sequel "The Dark Knight," which went on to become the second-biggest grossing movie of all time in North America before accounting for inflation.Such heights could be difficult for the "Twilight" sequel to attain. Still, industry observers expect it could finish up with upwards of $125 million for the weekend once Saturday sales data and Sunday estimates are issued early on Sunday.That would place the film at No. 4 in the record books, behind "The Dark Knight" ($158 million), "Spider-Man 3" ($151 million), and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" ($136 million), and ahead of "Shrek the Third" ($122 million), according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo. http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=9145088
