The first Twilight movie was released on November 21, 2008, my son’s first birthday. Prior to that, first my sister and then a librarian friend of mine had told me that I should read the books, but I had resisted. I’m typically not a trendy girl so I tend to wait until things have been rolling along for a while to give it a go. When a girlfriend recommended that I join her and another friend to see the movie, I went along for a girl’s night replete with dinner and my first – and what I thought would be my only – viewing of Twilight.
