Twilight, Travel, and Treats

For the fanfic newbie and those who love the original vampire Edward and human Bella from the Saga:

Try Prelude by belladonnacullen. It is the story of what happened between Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Mostly sweet but also steamy too. The follow up after it is The Last Night written by the same author and this one is just for the lemons and is about our beloved couple's last night before the wedding.

Here is a classic All Human:

Clipped Wings and Inked Armor by hunterhunting

CW&IA; as it is known is a very long and angst filled story. Edward is a brilliant tattoo artist (hence Tattward as he is affectionately known in the twilight world) and Bella is a mysterious wounded girl with a haunting secret. I stress that this fic is very emotionally draining so be warned.

I like this story a lot because Tattward loves cupcakes. I mean possibly more than RPattz. So, as twilightcupcake, how could I not love this??

For those who've been reading for a while and looking for something new:

There is a fic that caught my eye this week. It's called the Misapprehension of Bella Swan.
I'm posting about it because it's also by hunterhunting and because it revolves around HOCKEY. I'm Canadian, my husband has seasons tickets to the Canucks, and he and my eldest play hockey. It's part of our culture and I was super excited to see a hockey related fic.

Chapter 1: WTF Makes Violence Hot?
All hockey players are whores.

Today there were new Remember Me stills posted by Confessions of a Twicrack Addict. I've seen the trailer many times and yes I'm looking forward to it. But then I did a double take at this photo.

New hot, Old hot

Do you remember Remington Steele?

Let me refresh your memory.



I used to adore Pierce Brosnan. It was a puppy dog love. I was so young that I don't think I knew what a peen was. He was the first man I'd watched on TV who had an accent. Mysterious, handsome, arrogant, smart-ass. All the features of the ideal man to lust after but not to love. The day they canceled that show I thought my heart would stop. I didn't understand the feeling. It's the same one I got when they finished filming Eclipse here. Empty.

I had forgotten just how long ago this must have been. They fact that I am now married with two kids and have a career (plus I know what a peen is), did not seem to affect my perception of time. This photo puts it into a bit of perspective. Yes, the 80's were a long time ago.

Laura Holt - back then this hair was okay

Pierce stayed pretty hot through the 90's and for most of this century too.

Even with his role in Mamma Mia, not including the singing (if you can call it that), I was happy to see him as a sex symbol but just one from a good vintage.

But now that he is paired with Rob Pattinson in Remember Me and playing Rob's father no less, my love for Pierce is officially dead.

Even if Rob was born in 1986 (I bet you can all remember where you were then) I say out with the old and in with the new. He's legal but not applying for social security yet. That's a good sign.

I'm glad I wasn't paying attention when this Pierce photo came out in 2008.



Not only would I have fallen down dead from the shock but I wouldn't have had this

to pick me up.

Come back tomorrow for FanFic Fridays. It's gonna get hotter every week.

So I've never had a girls trip to Vegas. It's always been an idea and every time I come back from there with Mr. TC I always think that it would be great to go next time with just girls. Especially because the guys always seem to go without us.

So this Easter we've planned a getaway. Just four girls, a suite at Palazzo, and tickets to Donny & Marie. I'm sure you're thinking what?? This is a twilight blog - Donny & Marie? I'm sure there are many of you out there that secretly or not so secretly  "heart" Donny.

Some men age graciously...

Others don't.

Well one of my best friends DQ is one of those not so secret fans. And this year she has a big birthday. This girl hates surprises. I mean I think she'll rip our heads off if we try to plan her a party so we're not. We'd love to because we enjoy the making cake and goody bags but I don't want to die before Eclipse is released.

So we're sweeping her off to Vegas but she doesn't know it yet. Until now. SURPRISE DQ. Are you happy? Are you screaming at your Blackberry? Did you already know??

Mr. DQ and I have been in cahoots for months and hopefully DQ has been too busy with her three kids to notice. Hopefully she doesn't mind that the Easter bunny will have to visit without her while we are at the spa. And, hopefully she won't freak out that we've surprised her when she finds out we got her back stage passes to meet Donny Osmond.

Yes, sweetheart, you are going to meet Donny. You'll meet Marie too if you care. But I've heard he'll give you a kiss if it's your birthday so you're in luck. And you can bring anything you want for him to autograph. Now I'm not judging but it might be time to go to Victoria's Secret in Vegas before we show him your undies to sign. Only the best and fresh will do for Donny.

So, take a look at our hotel at Palazzo (don't worry, it was a steal on Hotwire) and think happy thoughts about four days away with no kids. Just you, me, JR, and JL hitting the outlets and the slot machines.

Happy Early Birthday DQ!
