New on The Spence Family--Which One?

Since I am probably the last person in the world to read the Twilight series, I am curious about something. From ages ago when Janssen talked about these books/characters on her blog, I've been aware of her absolute favoritism towards Jacob, even though I didn't know who the character was. Since then, I have heard several people speak highly of Jacob vs. Edward. I'm afraid I just don't get it. While reading Eclipse, I thought I might get more fond of him, but no. Even with Eclipse ending the way it did, with Jacob full of pain and Bella kind of torn up about her decisions, I was just relieved that she didn't choose him over Edward. The last book worked for me. It made sense for Jacob to imprint on the daughter. It made sense to me that Bella was still only slightly torn over Jacob until she was immortal; she was over him completely even before discovering about the imprinting. I am glad she got Edward.

Am I the only one who prefers Edward? I wonder.

So if you've read the books, vote for your favorite:

Jacob or Edward,
and if you feel so inclined, say why.

New on The Spence Family--Valentine's Day

This year I hadn't locked down on a menu for Sunday's dinner. I didn't print up cute little menus. I didn't even have a proper Valentine's gift for Roger. I was kind of lame. But Roger, he took over the menu planning. He made me dinner (so good!: an Indian/Asian inspired *Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Basmati Rice Pilaf with Apricots.) He gave me roses and a new shirt. He's the right kind of Valentine, though he claims I am wonderful. I did manage dessert, but that doesn't equal wonderful to me.

New on The Spence Family--A First Grade Boy

A first grade boy

should be at school with all the other kids, and with the Valentine's mailbox he worked so hard on decorating and helping me build. He should be delivering his mad-lib valentines, and seeing his mailbox get filled up by his friends' valentines. He should be frosting big pink heart cookies, and playing Valentine's Day games. . .

New On The Spence Family--Just Call Me Dumb

If you were to have all these boot shopping dilemmas, find the most comfortable pair of shoes/boots/whatever that you have ever walked in, would you exchange them for a different pair just because the perfect feeling pair was a floor model (staples in the bottom, one had clearly been tried on more than the other one, etc.)? No, probably not. Comfort over anything else, right?
