My Facebook addiction/Gustafson Day/When is "Twilight" going to go away?

I know it's been a while since I posted here. And the main reason for that is, I am addicted to Facebook. When I'm at work, I just have a Facebook window open all day, just so I can instantly see when any of my friends have decided to take a nap or clean their houses or rant and rave. It's instant gratification. I've noticed how crucial knowing these things about people to whom I have not spoken in 20 years has suddenly become, whereas a month ago I had no idea where they were and what they were up to and I didn't really care to know.
Last Saturday we had Gustafson Day. I love that we made up our own holiday. It's so fun to wear tacky homemade t-shirts all over the place and do goofy things together. Breeanne and Averie weren't able to come (we were all sad about that) but we had fun anyway.
We went to breakfast then over to Lara's first basketball game. She was a little nervous about being on the court with nine other little girls, 2 coaches, a teenage referee, and a fast moving basketball. Most of the time, she looked pretty terrified and hung out around the midcourt line as far from the action as she could get. She likes practice, though, so we're hopeful that she'll get more comfortable by the end of the season.
After the game, we headed up to the District to see Madagascar 2. I never saw the first one, although apparently we have it on DVD. I thought this one was alright for a kids' show. Even though we stuffed ourselves with popcorn in the movie, we were able to manage lunch at Red Robin. We hit the grocery store and PayLess and then home. I'll post some pictures when I have my camera with me so you can share in all our fun.
Ok, finally- Twilight! What the heck is going on with this book/movie? I read the book and it was okay, but all the time I kept thinking, why doesn't he just bite her and get it over with? I am amazed at how many of my normally sane friends have gone bonkers over this series. He is a VAMPIRE, guys. And FICTIONAL. I wasn't interested enough after the first book to read any more, but I'm glad so many people have enjoyed it. But please, enough with the craziness already!
