Dear Twilight haters,
Since you feel the need to publicly ridicule something that I enjoy, I'm going to turn around and ridicule you, even though this is just a boring blog and not Facebook.
Firstly, I'd like to address the point of why one would want to blatantly put down another person's interest. Is it jealousy, because you don't feel so strongly about something you enjoy as much as my fellow Twi-fans and I do? Because honestly, that's quite sad. Get a hobby. It'll help. Trust.
Do you just not understand, or are you incapable of understanding Twilight? Many haters refer to Twilight as "immature" and below an adult reading level. I may point out to these people that Stephenie Meyer has in fact said that she was not intending to write Twilight for a YA audience, it just happened that way. Or is it because today's society is so hung up on sex that we're unable to even fathom the idea of a couple not being sexually active before marriage. Personally, I find the temptation and resistance to be sexier than the second hand embarassment I would get from reading some nasty sex scene.
To those who don't read for religious reasons, that don't want to believe in vampires: it's fictional. The author is mormon. There are no beings who can really sparkle in the sun. Move on.
Point being: hate it if you want, it's not my problem even though I can't even fathom a person who can't relate or enjoy in some way. I'm going in less than two hours to see Eclipse, ad I'm damn proud of it!
XOXO

Eclipse, Potty Training, and Cooking and Cursing Vol. 2
Eclipse - hubs and I are going to see it tonight at 7:10! I am so excited! Fan girl squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review to come tomorrow.
Potty training. We're trying. Brennan absolutely hates the potty chair. I know he's ready, he tells me every time he pees or poops. I think he's just scared of going outside of his diaper for some reason. Also, he's taken a sudden disliking for his firetruck toddler bed. I'm not really sure what that's about.
Attempted to make scalloped potatos out of a box last night. Attempted being the key word. We only got to eat half the box because the other half was burned to the bottom of the pan. I seriously considered docking myself a point I failed so bad.

That's right! Victory baby! I got stumped on the fettuccini alfredo and the french toast, but I annihilated the chocolate chip cookies! Take that cooking! Who's the bitch now?
Yeah...so I made homemade chocolate chip cookies yesterday...and they're amazing! I used my grandma's recipe, and managed to bake without burning. I rock.

Just for fun: Hot topics.
Would you do meth if it was legalized?
-No. I've never done any kind of illegal drugs, and even if it was legal I would still see it as wrong.
Abortion: for or against it?
- For myself, I am against it. I think there are three circumstances when abortion is acceptable: rape, incest, or when the pregnancy threatens the mother's life. I believe that if a girl thinks she's mature enough to have sex, she should be able to stand up and deal with the consequences. On the other hand, I think making abortion illegal is unrealistic, because women are going to find a way to do it if they really want to, and if it's illegal it would be in disgusting, unsafe and unsanitary ways.
Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
- Absolutely not. I think a woman president is just what this country needs. As long as it's not Sarah Palin or Jennifer Granholm.
Do you believe in the death penalty?
- To a point. I believe that some people deserve it, and maybe logistically it would save money by not having all these lifers taking up space. But I do think it should be used judiciously, and that it should be decided by a jury.
Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
- I don't really have an opinion either way, since it doesn't affect me. I suppose since people are going to get it either way, might as well let the government tax it to help the debt.
Are you for or against premarital sex?
- I am against indiscriminate sex with whoever you feel like. I realize that to many people sex and love are not mutually inclusive or exclusive concepts, but to me, sex is something that should be shared between two people only when they love each other and plan to remain in a relationship for an extensive period of time. As for marriage though, I think it's unrealistic in this day and age to get married without living together first.
Do you believe in God?
-The jury's still out at this point. I believe in a higher power, but I haven't yet accepted who or what that higher power may be.
Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
-For sure. I don't feel that anyone should have say over the marriage of two people that love each other.
Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the country?
- Oh yes. I also have a problem with them getting all the good paying jobs when my husband and I have to fight to get one that pays minimum wage.
A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
- I have a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of a twelve year old doing something that would result in a baby, let alone raising one.
Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
- Might as well, I don't believe I know an eighteen year old that hasn't drank anyway. It's pretty ridiculous that this country will allow an eighteen year old to go fight and possibly die for them, but not have a beer first.
Should the war in Iraq be called off?
- I think we're too deep into it for just calling it off to help anything.
Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
- Probably. I could do a lot with a million dollars: pay for my babies to go to college, buy a house and new cars for me and Logan. And buy a new flag to replace the one I burned.
Should child predators be forced to wear signs identifying themselves ?
- More than that, it should be tattooed on their foreheads.
Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
- Somewhat, but I'm not overly worried about it. They're my opinions and if a person doesn't agree with me, so be it.
-No. I've never done any kind of illegal drugs, and even if it was legal I would still see it as wrong.

Catching up.
So, let's see. It's been a long few days, hence why I haven't been on the computer...pretty much at all.
Work is just craptastic. I was there for three days and I don't think I'm going to continue with Meijer. It's just not working for me, I'm not happy and I have no time for my kids or my husband. I am, however, going to take my resume to a daycare that's hiring tomorrow. I'm pretty excited about that.
The 18th of July will be the first anniversary of our wedding. I'm so excited to see what next month brings, on the Friday Logan got me five bouquets of flowers, including one he sent to me at work. It was so sweet. I love him so much, and I can't wait to see what he has planned for our anniversary.
Cooking....not going so well right now. Reading either. With work and everything going on for Fathers' Day we've been living on pizza, and I'm never home to read. I'm hoping to have something more exciting in this area to post next week.
Found out today that my belly button piercing is still open. Random, but I was happy about it.Also got my hair cut. Double happy.

Back to work tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the day I've been dreading waiting for ever since I got taken off work in December. Going back. I'm not looking forward to leaving my babies, even though it's just with my mom. Claire is still refusing to drink out of any bottle I offer to her. Brennan will be fine, he loves spending time with grandma.
There are two things I want to start doing on my blog. 1. I am an avid reader, so I'm going to try and do a book review every week, maybe on Friday or Saturday. 2. I'm working on becoming a better cook, because right now, I can't cook anything that doesn't come with a box and step-by-step directions. So I'll be documenting that process here. Keep reading, because it's sure to be entertaining!

Mommy. Wifey. Me.
I have been blessed with the two most amazing children on earth. Brennan James was born April 30, 2008. He was 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 20.5" long. Claire Madelyn came into our lives two years later on April 14, 2010, weighing 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 19.5" long. These two little people mean more to me than anything else on this planet.
Brennan fits the definition of a typical boy: a loud noise with dirt on it. He's got curly blond hair and bright blue eyes that will melt your heart. He loves to run and play and would live outside if we allowed him to. He has so much love and personality that it's hard to even describe him.
Claire is our little princess. She's only 2 months old, but our family wouldn't be complete without her. Her eyes are lightening to green, and she has a head full of dark hair. She enjoys her swing, she's a total mommy's girl, and she is adored by her big brother.
These two angels are what makes me a mommy.
On July 18, 2009 I married the love of my life, Logan Gutowski. He's my other half. We're about to celebrate our one year anniversary as husband and wife, and I'm thankful for him every day.
He makes me a wifey.
My name is Amber Lynn Gutowski. I'm looking forward to my twenty-first birthday on August 10. I'm going to college for early childhood education simply because I love children. I love singing, dancing, swimming, rain, playing with my kids and our pets Zoey and Jello.
This is me. Take it or leave it, cause what you see is what you get.
