Twerd.

Madeline's mom is a "Twerd". A nerd who is a fan of Twilight.

Yes, that's right. I am a very big fan of the Twilight saga. It started with the movie. I fell in love with Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. If you're not familiar, think Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet....with the star-crossed passion and supernatural element there is a hypnotic quality to these books that doesn't allow me to put them down (there are 4, and I'm in the middle of the 4th book). I honestly feel like a teenager with a crush. I don't know what I'll do when I've finished the final book?*&@*#&)(*#&$

I purchased the soundtrack to the movie several weeks ago. I have it in my car. The actor who plays Edward Cullen in the movie, Robert Pattinson (my heart skipped a beat) is also a musician and recorded a few songs for the movie. No matter where we are, if I play a certain song, Madeline drifts away and often will fall asleep. Let it be known that we tried this tonight. She fussed before bed. We went to the car, pulled out the cd, put it into the cd player in her room, played the song and within minutes she floated into her own dream land....no doubt hypnotized by his voice. I know I am ;-) But for different reasons of course. Whatever it is about the song, it's soft, it's soothing. It puts our Madeline to sleep. It's her lullaby! I have provided a link to the song to the right. Please enjoy.


And enjoy this photo of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan from Twilight.
