My husband's eternal patience
30 June 2010
My husband is awesome. For a variety of reasons, but today I’m specifically thinking about his willingness to put up with my obsessions. Rarely in our relationship has there been a time that I’m not obsessive about something.
These days, it’s Twilight. While I’m not a Twihard by any stretch, I read all four books in a week last year, we own both DVDs, and regarding Eclipse, I’ve basically said, “What showtime would you like to go to?” I’m into it enough to have picked a side (Jacob), and to sometimes have my mind randomly wander to scenes from the book.
Even though I already know everything that happens, there’s this part of me that’s like, “I have to go see Eclipse before Connor’s born.” I don’t expect it to be fabulous (although according the Kansas City Star, it’s the best of the three) but I know I’ll enjoy it all the same. And Ben won’t just politely listen to my chatter all the way home from the theater, he’ll offer his own opinions and weigh in on the ultimate debate of who Bella should choose. What a stud. (And I’d feel the same way even if he was Team Edward.)
In the midst of all the Eclipse excitement, don’t forget to check out Roseanna White’s blog where you can still enter to win a copy of So Over It.
Have a great Wednesday!

You know, I think when I mentioned going to ECLIPSE with my sister and mom, my hubby was actually a little offended that I didn’t want HIM to go with me!

Aww, what a good guy, Ro :)
Ben, I think you’d like her better in the books. And when I was using my Twilight bookmark with Edward and Bella on it, you said, “Why are you using that? This is a Jacob household.” Is it fair to at least say that you’re more Team Jacob?

Yes, I like Jacob much more than Edward. Other than a nicer wardrobe, I don’t see any reason to pick Edward over Jacob.
If I read the book, I might feel differently, but I maintain that both of them could do better.

Ben, my hubby is with you. He did say something about being glad to be spared her “abominable acting.” And that Jacob’s character was the only decent one in the movie.
Although the actor for Edward is British in real life and seems much more likable than he is on-screen. =)

I wouldn’t call myself Team Jacob or Team Edward. I don’t think either of those guys should have to put up with that girl…
