Twilight

The premier of Breaking Dawn has come and gone. A couple of my friends said, "Thank God that's over with." The majority of my crowd happily stood in line for an hour just to get into the theater. They had bought the tickets well over a week before the big night. Thanks to a good friend, who had stood in line to buy the ticket for me, I only had to stand in the line to get into the theater. I wouldn't have done that if we hadn't met for maragaritas and mexican food. But who can pass up the camaraderie of good friends, lemon margaritas and mudslides.

So while all the Twilight naysayers are bemoaning it's lack of a good message or it's poor writing, I say what's wrong with it being nothing more than an entertaining story which brings women together for a good time.

Must everything have some deep, hidden message. I'd bet good money that most of the stuff I watch or read is for pure entertainment. I haven't heard anyone say, "Where is the message in True Blood?" or "What should we be getting out of The Walking Dead?"

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for good moral stories that teach a life lesson, for books that cause me to ponder the world and the people in it.

But I refuse to feel guilty for, every now and then, just wanting to read for fun!!

So here's to good entertaining books, good friends and the occasional really good margarita!

Apologies if this sounds like a rant!!
