Have you seen this 2 minute sneek peek of Eclipse?
This gets me so pumped for the movie...and I can't wait to see the 8 minute clip that is on the New Moon DVD deluxe edition from Wal-Mart! So excited! However, I'm trying to pull myself back from the edge a little. I don't want to know too much. I still want to be surprised and experience Eclipse for the first time on the big screen. With New Moon, I felt like I had practically seen the movie before it ever came out, because I had watched so many trailers and teasers and behind the scenes footage.
A few things that bring me great delight:
Jasper's hair...looks soooooo much better than New Moon!
Rosalie's hair...looks 10 times better than Twilight and New Moon put together.
Seeing the newborn vampires...lots of action in this 3rd movie and it's going to be thrilling to watch!
The sets/scenes look phenomenal
Edward and Jacob's level of hottness...can I get an AMEN up in this blog?!
I can't wait to see what David Slade brings to the Saga!

There is SO much excitement in Twi-land! Have you seen the Eclipse teaser and/or trailer yet??
For those who haven't...don't waste any more time...Here's the TRAILER...(Feel free to watch it as much as you want...I don't charge for parking. :)
OHMYTWILIGHTGOODNESS (OMTG...from here on out)!!! How exciting is that? Goosebumps? Check. Elevated blood pressure? Check. Tear in eye? Check. (Quit judging me...it's emotional!) Edward just saying her name at the beginning is enough to get me, and then you throw Jacob's bit in there "I'll fight for you until your heart stops beating"....holy smokes, does it get any sweeter than that? Oh, to be Bella Swan for a day...a girl can dream.
Who wants to talk Twilight Convention? Me! I do! I do!
Most asked questions...
Was it fun? Hmmmm. Let me check. DUH! Let's just say that it was beyond fun...it was amazing...I need to invent a new word for how fun it was.
Would I do it again? That would be a yes! I'm hooked. When's the next one? Sign me up!
Would I get Gold Package again? Absolutely, YES! It was well worth it. We were on the 4th row and it was easy to get great pictures. We also had tickets to all of the extras. It was nice to be first in line for autographs. I would definitely go gold again.
What was the best part? It's just too hard to choose...but the highlights are meeting all seven stars. I went in being so super excited to meet Peter Facinelli (which was amazing...if I say "amazing" one more time, just change my name to Jake and put me on the Bachelor), and it was definitely a highlight...probably at the top of the list. He is so down to earth and super funny. I was just hanging on every.single.word.he.said. What I thought was interesting was that I was excited to see each star because of the role they play in the Twilight Saga, but I left being a personal fan. I love each and every one of them for who they are and not just for the role they play. Does that make sense?
My most memorable conversation was with Michael Welch (Mike Newton). It was at the end of a long day and we were waiting in line for his autograph. We were having fun conversations with all the people we were standing in line with and goofing off. So, by the time we got to the table to get our autograph, we were being silly and cutting up (which is right up his alley...he is SUCH a clown!). I was telling him how good his coffee smelled...and how I wish I had some Starbucks about right now. We hadn't ate ALL day. (One of the prices you pay to be at Twi Con...we referred to it as the Twi Con Diet...everybody should try it. =P) So, he starts sipping on his coffee...really slowly...savoring each sip. All the while, we're just standing there waiting on our autograph. I told him how unfair it was and that he was basically a punk (yeah, I might of said those exact words...while laughing, of course). THEN, he offers me a drink of his coffee! I thought he was joking at first, but after us discussing the fact that I don't have cooties, I realized that he was being completely serious. I wouldn't do it because I thought he would probably just throw it away after I walked off...but now I'm not sure that he would of, he's pretty crazy like that. I told him I couldn't see a good cup of coffee go to waste...that is just wrong. We had a good laugh. It was fun interacting with him.
Gil Birmingham (Billy Black) is from Texas, and being the big time Sooner fans that my cousin Lindsay and I are, we decided we needed to find out if he was a UT (Longhorns) fan. I would like to assure that he is NOT. Whew, what a relief. Funny thing was that he didn't even know who we were talking about. He's not a football fan. We told him we wouldn't hold it against him.
An unexpected surprise was the cast of the internet phenom Hillywood Show. They were so super cool and played their roles so well! Sometimes I felt like I was looking at THE Jacob or THE Jasper...they were so so good. Hilly and Hannah are amazing talents. They're geniuses at this parody stuff. You should check them out online. You can find them at http://www.thehillywoodshow.com/ !
I collected a few things while at the Convention to giveaway...how does a little Twilight Convention/New Moon Giveaway sound??? Come back tomorrow for a peak at what I have to give away and the details on how to enter!
To see all of my pictures from The Official Twilight Convention Atlanta 2010, go to my facebook page - www.facebook.com/jennykate77 . I have my pictures set to public for now or you can just send me a friend request if you would like!
(I have a whole album dedicated to the Adventures of Pocket Edward...you don't want to miss it.)
I hope you are all having a great week! I'm trying to resume to my normal routine...and hopefully I'll get around to visiting all my favorite bloggers soon!! I miss you guys when I'm not here♥
So, it's official, Jacob is no longer jail-bait! I know this will make a few of my bloggy (and non-bloggy) friends VERY happy! It's nice to know that we can legally drool over his ripped non-shirted chest. I pray that he never finds his shirt again...ever. I was trying to think of a good way to celebrate...going shirtless? nah. phasing? don't have the right genes. sitting in a HOT 108 degrees sauna so that I can pretend that Jacob is in the room? possibly. eating some muffins? good possibility. I was thinking that I could share with you some of my fav Jacob stills from New Moon and a few of my favorite Jacob quotes from the books.
"I’m not good enough to be your friend anymore, or anything else. I’m not what I was before. I’m not good."
"Sometimes, loyalty gets in the way of what you want to do. Sometimes, it’s not your secret to tell."
"Look, do you mind saving the stupid stuff for when I’m around? I won’t be able to concentrate if I think you’re jumping off cliffs behind my back."
"Hunting vampires is fun. It’s the best part of this whole mess."
"Who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf?"
"Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV."
"Does my being half-naked bother you?"
"You love me, too. Not the same way, I know. But he’s not your whole life, either. Not anymore. Maybe he was once, but he left. And now he’s just going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice — me."
...and for later down the road...this is one of my many favorite lines from Breaking Dawn, as Jacob has so many great lines in the last couple books...my heart was happy during this part that's why it's one of my all-time favs... "Bella, things are different with us now, but you’ll always be my best friend, and I’ll always love you. But I’ll love you the right way now. There’s finally a balance. We both have people we can’t live without."
Happy Birthday, Jacob...er, I mean, Taylor!
Do you have a favorite Jacob line you'd like to share?
I finished Day 9 of The Shred this morning...not because I wanted to. It has been quite the effort to JUST DO IT the last couple of days. Although, my endurance and stamina are up. I am able to do the entire workout without stopping. I'm SCARED to go to Level 2 on Thursday. I played around with it over the weekend and those plank exercises are freakin' ridiculous! I don't know what will happen. I may just stick to level 1 for another week. I did move up to 5 pounds hand weights. I can definitely feel the burn. It feels good. Even though it has been a struggle to get myself motivated to do the workout, by the time I am in the second circuit of strength training, the endorphins kick in and I'm good to go. I can finish strong. So, that is a plus. I'm hoping for some good results when I weigh in at WW tomorrow. *fingers crossed*
Here is something that I found online this morning and it makes me laugh...
OH and I am LOVING Anna Kendrick. She seriously has some of the funniest lines from New Moon and I love her more and more with each interview. I'm definitely going to see her other movies. Anybody watched Up In The Air yet?
Guilliana is hilarious with her Clooney obsession.
I was just reading some not-so-breaking news about Breaking Dawn. It was just more of the same questions...will BD be one or two movies?...when will filming start?...who will play Renesmee?...will she be real or CGI? No one seems to have answers to any of these questions just yet and Summitt has not released anything official about BD...so, we're left hanging and wondering...and hoping. One good thing, is that there will be a Breaking Dawn movie and there is a possibility for that movie to be in 2 parts...WOOHOO! I would be completely happy with either one really long...Lord Of The Rings LONG...movie...or two normal length films. You know me and my party planning, so of course I would love the chance to have ONE more movie...because that just means ONE more party! Either way, I can't wait!
Another thing that I CAN'T WAIT for is the trailer for Eclipse...WHAT is taking those people so long?!! It's driving me crazy! We got to see the NM trailer almost 6 months before the movie premiered. We're already down to 161 days until Eclipse, that is just a little over 5 months. So, what are they waiting for? Geez! Help a girl (and her obsession) out a little. Release the trailer already!
Some of you have asked me exactly what IS a TwiCon. So, I'll tell you in my next blog post. I'll link it up to the main site and give you a list of cities where they are hosted. Plus, I'll show you some of the fun stuff that I've found on line from other people's experiences at TwiCon...which makes me so stinkin' excited!!!
I saw New Moon for the fifth time over the weekend. I'm patiently waiting on it to come out at the dollar theater. I'm planning on having a New Moon marathon.
How many times have you seen New Moon? Also, have you ever been to a fan-based convention? Have I officially reached nerd status?
I interrupt this broadcast to bring you breaking news...
There have been multiple sightings of Edward...well, Pocket Edward that is...around the local area.
Here he is spotted at a local Starbucks. The crowd overheard him saying "You are my life now...how many times do I have to tell you?? Now, please, just drink this Peppermint Mocha before it gets cold!"
On the same day, he was spotted hiding inside a Coach purse protecting the Black Friday ads.
Later in the day, he was cooling off with a nice glass of iced tea and doing a little table dance for the ladies. I know he looks a little stiff, but the boy has moves. That evening, he was on the dash looking out for hi-pos...allowing us todrive like a Cullen.
I was having so much fun with Pocket Edward. My 17, 15, and 13 year old (girl) cousins were giggling non-stop. My mother was threatening to take me home..."right this instant!"...if I didn't put Pocket Edward away. I don't listen very well.
Is there somewhere you would like to see Pocket Edward? You tell me in my comments where you would like PE's picture taken and I will happily oblige and post them next week! Sound fun? I think so. =)
Jen @ Harried Mom of Fourbestowed up on me this lovely blogger award. Thanks so much, Jen!! I'm not sure that I'm all that "kreativ", but I appreciate you thinking of me.

Name 7 other blogs to receive this award.
Leave a comment on each of the blogs I nominated.
Thank the person who gave you the award.
So, tell 7 things that you don't already know about me...this will be a little difficult seeing that my life is pretty much an open book here at JennyKate's Spot...let's see...
I love green beans...like LOVE them love them.
I'm a bit obsessive. Oh, wait...you already knew that. Did you know that I'm a bit obsessive over the color red? I actually have incorporated it into every room of my house.
I also have a thing for snowmen. It is getting ready to look like my house just threw up snowmen. They'll be everywhere.
I have a soft spot for all things small or miniature.
My last two tattoos are based off of a book and/or fictional characters.
I love having my eyebrows waxed. Weird. I know.
I've made it my goal to beat last year's viewings of Twilight with New Moon. I'm tied right now with 3. I'll keep you posted. Hoping for another date with Edward and Jacob this weekend.
7 People's Blogs who I find creative and entertaining...
Tatertots and Jello - I seriously LOVE (L-O-V-E...love) everything that Jen does...I'm sure I've awarded her before, but she totally deserves each and every one! Go check out her adorable Christmas Advent Calendars!
Brainella - she's crafty with the clay...pottery that is...it's beautiful and would make fabulous one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts!
Living in France - Mimi is so super creative with her words...she completely cracks me up...non-stop! Need a good laugh? Stop by Living in France...I used to think she really lived in France.
Just memories of a night when New Moon was our destination.

I have to say that I've been in somewhat of a lull. I miss the hubbub that surrounded the last few weeks...putting together decorations, making goodie bags, nailing down a menu, discussing New Moon with my friends, counting down the days and hours...I miss it all...oh, and my date with Edward and Jacob. To put it in a nutshell, it was AMAZING! The party was so super fun. Everyone showed up. Everyone had a good time. Everyone played along w/ my silly games...and they liked it (or at least they pretended for my sake...and because they knew there was prizes involved). The movie was beyond words. I don't even have the right descriptiveness to tell you exactly how I feel. I LOVE that movie.
*****
OK, my review...I thought that Christ Weitz did a fabulous job. He's a directing genius. I'm a lover of the books and I treasure those words that Stephenie wrote and the characters that she brought to life for me through those words. Chris definitely honored the book and held true to the feeling of the book. I felt like he didn't skip anything...although I know he did or we would have been there all night (or morning). I loved the cinematography. I loved the warm feel of the colors. The make-up artists should get huge props for making the Cullens look a hundred times better than Twilight...no more pasty Wal-Mart Halloween make-up...they were all gorgeous! Rosalie looked absolutely beautiful. Jasper was not quite as weird. Bella looked more mature (which she should b/c she's a whole year older in NM). Edward looked rock-hard and sparkly, just as he should. Jacob had me in a trance with his rippling chest and abs, his bulky shoulders, and that beautiful smile. He is his own sun. It ended with the proposal, and went black...just as it should. All is right in my Twilight world...except for the fact that I'm in a slight state of New Moon depression. When I walked into my office this morning, there was no huge party box overflowing with Twilight stuff...no Edward and Jacob behind my door. It was sad. I've seen it twice already and have plans to see it for a 3rd time on Wednesday! Maybe that will help. I know what would really help...I'm thinking Eclipse. Just when you thought all this was over...think again...Eclipse will be here in 218 days! We've already started planning!

OK, now onto the winner of my New Moon Giveaway...
I transferred each person's comments over to a word document and gave each of you your appropriate number of entries in order of when you commented. Then I numbered each entry...
and went to the random number generator (RANDOM.org) and plugged in the number of total entries w/ random number result of 15...
And the winner is...
Michelle from Tickled Pink & Fabulous...and I am tickled pink that she won! She is an awesome blogging buddy, fellow Twi-hard (true true fan), and sister from another mister. We share tons in common (even outside of the Twilight realm). She has a fabulous blog, so be sure to stop by if you don't already! Congrats, Michelle! I think the *crossed fingers* really worked! ;)

Lastly, I've got a few more pics from my party that I stole borrowed from people who were there. I wasn't able to take as many pictures because I was busy hostessing, so I'm glad others had their cameras. I'm sure they won't mind me sharing.
Miss Manda
Me and Allison - her and I are already consipiring for Eclipse! Can't wait!Telena, Edward, and I Edward, Allie, Me, and Jake...I think I was checking out his biceps. Getting ready to go see New Moon...party was coming to a close. I love this group shot...wish everyone would have been in it. Hope everyone has a marvelous Monday!!♥
My New Moon party was a HUGE success in my book! I'm just not sure how it could have been any better...unless of course Edward would have shown up in flesh and blood...er...stone cold sparkly skin.
Here's an overview of the party *warning: picture OVERLOAD*
LOTS of GREAT friends showed up...my bloggy friend Dawn and 3 of her friends came. It's so great to now know Dawn, Jen, Michelle, and Dana IRL! Thanks for coming girls! Jacob kept staring at me the WHOLE night.
The Candy Bar
The Edward Room
The only picture I have of my outfit

I think I was biting Jacob....I really have nothing to say to this
Me and my girl, Amanda, waiting patiently for 12:01
We played Pin the Kiss on Jacob
and Edward♥
My banner that I made

My red Chuck Taylor's
Me and Amanda at the 10:15 showing this morning...yep, true fans...we've seen it twice in 10 hours.
My cousin Allison, Me, and Amanda...don't say anything about the bags under our eyes...we were working on about 3 hours of sleep and NO coffee...that's the price we were willing to pay for one more date with Edward and Jacob.
Hope everyone who went to New Moon last night had as much fun as I did!!! If you're going in the near future, you're in for a treat...it's yummy! You're going to love it! If you're not planning on going...change of plans...GO SEE IT! It was AH-MAZING!
Have a superFABULOUS weekend♥
You can find my new Eclipse Party Plans by clicking HERE!
I don't have to say TOMORROW...because in my mind it is TODAY @ 12:01 (am...Friday, but let's not get technical)...NEW MOON is here!!! WOOT!
I might pee my pants. I'm just that excited.
I just asked Jacob (over there <----) "Do you love me?" And he said, and I quote, "It's tough to tell. Sometimes you're a little strange. Oh, sweet innocent Jacob, you know me so well.Have you asked Jacob or Edward about what's on your mind today? Do it and tell me what answer they give you in my comments because I like to be entertained). If you do, I'll give you an entry (or an extra entry, if you're already entered) in my giveaway that ends tonight (OK, tomorrow at 12:01 am...but remember we're not getting technical). So...what are you waiting for...ask them a question!
Here's some drooling material to wet your palette for tonight or whenever you're going to see new Moon!!
Several things to be very very thankful for... I'm thankful that New Moon is finally here.
I'm thankful for shirtless Jacob pictures. I'm also very very thankful for shirtless Edward pictures.
Don't forget about my New Moon Giveaway...comment w/ Jacob or Edward's answer to your question (Click HERE to leave a comment for another entry)
