Sariah Says

How fun would it have been to be somewhere like this on Friday Night???

Friday night was torture for me!  I wanted to go to one of the release parties for Breaking Dawn so bad!  But, when your husband is on the other side of the country and all of the YW are at girls camp, there are just things you are gonna miss out on.  And this was one of them.  So my next plan was to take my shower Friday night and get some decent sleep so I could get up, grab the kid, and fly out the door first thing in the morning! lol

I called Walmart to see if they had it and at what price.  Can you believe the lady who was "helping" me didn't even know what Breaking Dawn is?  What planet does she live on? ;)  She claims they didn't have it - I'm POSITIVE they did and that she just had no idea what she was talking about, but I didn't want to take chances so I decided to just go to B&N where I had my copy reserved.  Got there right at 8am.  They open at 9am.  Great plan, Sariah.  Fortunately, in the same parking lot is a Target that opens at 8am.  I figured, either they'll be lame like Walmart, in which case I'll take Rori out to breakfast and be back at B&N at 9am, or they'll be AWESOME and have it.  Guess what?  Target was AWESOME and had it!  Infact, I walked in just as they were wheeling out the cart stacked with boxes and boxes of copies of Breaking Dawn.  I stood right next to them as they opened a box, pulled out the top copy, and handed it to ME!  Woohoo, the first one out of the box!  And the price was better than B&N, too. :D

I raced home,  fed the kid, put on a movie for her, and read.  Repeat steps 2 through 4 for the remainder of the day, adding in laying the kid down for a nap and an occasional diaper change.  But yep, that was pretty much my entire day.  And at 12:45am this morning, I finished it!  Woohoo!

No worries, NO SPOILERS... yet!  I will give others a chance to read before I *discuss*, but I will say that I am very satisfied with how it all ends! :D
