Twilight...Am I really sitting here watching this?

Friday has been "pizza and movie night" for about a year or so in our house.  Before his nap (that's right, the 3yr old still takes a nice long nap, thank you God), Paddy gets to pick what kind of pizza or stromboli I'll be making for dinner.  The first choice for a movie is usually Disney's "Cars", however, we can usually talk the boys into something else with the promise of extra popcorn.  Tonight we had plain pizza with a side of green beans and the movie was "Cloudy with a Side of Meatballs".  I missed most of it, due to the 11 loads of laundry that I was folding, but it was cute.  By 8:00 the kitchen and dining room were cleaned up, the kids were sound asleep, the husband was out with his brother-in-law, all 11 loads of laundry were folded and put away, and oh my goodness, I had the opportunity to sit!

Right now we have the Showtime/Encore/Starz preview, so I figured I'd take advantage of it and watch a movie.  Woo Hoo!  I get to choose a movie to watch all by myself...How often does that happen?  So I started scroll through the onDemand list and came across "Twilight".  Maybe 2 years ago, just about everyone I knew had read the books and were just giddy over the movie.  Keep in mind most of the "everyone" that I know are 20 and 30 something housewives.  That's right, you know who you are!  Anyway, I have been kind of proud that I'm one of five people that I know that has successfully avoided buying into the Twilight hype...Until now.  I couldn't stop myself.  I pressed the select button, yes, I did it.  Ok, I tried, I really did.  I don't get it.  C'mon, a family of baseball playing vampires cooking Italian for the little human girl?  It was just weird.  I kept watching, waiting for it to get "really good" as i have been told it is.  It never happened, but still I couldn't turn it off.  Here's what even more weird, I think I need to see the next one.  Trust me, I have no delusions of Twilight grandeur, but I feel like they left me hanging and I need to to find out what happens next.  I'm so disappointed in myself.
