Listen to some blues, sung by a lucky girl

Today I had a long conversation 
with my boss.
About Twilight.

No typo... it's like I say:

Conversation. 
About Twilight. 
With boss!
 
Was real fun. 


Profound questions and insights were discussed. 
Like how old Taylor Lautner is. 
And whether he gained his muscles really just in the gym, or if they might have pimped a minor with the help of some illegal substances.
We watched some Comic Con clips together.
My boss (who is female) also was wondering why Bella didn't spend more time with her parents during the wedding party in BD. She considered this to be not very realistic. 
WTF? I mean, this is about vampires and shapeshifters and such, and the thing she thinks is unrealistic is the way Bella behaves towards her parents?
Anyway...

On my way home I thought about my boss. 
How much I like her and enjoy working with her. She's about my age, well, in fact a littler younger than me. I know her barely a year now, but she has really grown on me - and vice versa. 
She made me her vice chief editor... I didn't want to be, but she talked me into it, saying there's noone else she trusts so much, and that it's not there were no other candidates but she really wanted ME.
We laugh a lot together, and we can talk very openly about anything.
And though we do not have any private contact at all, she is like a friend.
So there I was on my way home, still unvoluntarily smiling and thinking: I'm really lucky!

Because I remember different times.
Once I had a boss, a woman too,  who really made me sick. She was so stupid and ignorant that it hurt. I lasted six weeks before I decided to quit.
I wrote a song about her which says it all. A blues. Extremly blue blues...
This song became kind of the secret hymn of the desperate employees of my company. You could hear them humming the melody on every given day, without words of course. 
Everybody knew it, apart from my bad former she-boss... LOL!

Check it out! If you're not as lucky as I am and you don't like your boss (it's very common - you can google it!), you might find it's the story of your life...

Twilight animated button No 25

No 25 - a selp-helf-button for the nitty-gritty...

TWIDICULOUS (WIVES)
bloggy friend: the wives themselves
pivotal point: they feel protective of their hubbies

So you ladies started a Twilight blog because your husbands don't sparkle, huh? Lame excuse, I say! 
With "Twidiculous Sparkle Gel", every woman can now have her very own homemade, shiny marble-chested sexgod in next to no time. Fragrant, pleasant to the skin and allergy-screened. 
Don't hesitate, order now!!!
(...and I'm pretty sure you'll find some other reasons for blogging...)

Next in line are: Alicia, EtomyB, Eyes of Amber and Undercover Twilighter. 
Be prepared to expect the unexpected!

Twilight animated button No 24

Quick note: My blogger dashboard says, there are two new followers. But I can't see who they are because bloody blogger refuses to display any followers at all. I even don't know who's next in line with receiving a button. So more patience please, everyone. It's not my fault. Once Blogger decides to cooperate again, I'll catch up. 

I edited the above today, July27th, because blogger is all better now, and I can see my beloved followers again in all their glory. Yikes! 
Next in line are: Twidiculous Wives, Alicia, EtomyB and Eyes of Amber. 
And Undercover Twilighter *sigh* (added June 28th). Anyway:
Be prepared to expect the unexpected!

But for now, here is...
...No 24 - a button for eternety!

TWILOG
bloggy friend: Whitley
pivotal point: a touch of testosterone

The header subline says: "Yet Another Twilight Blog". 
Well, it's not THAT easy, Whitley! 
You commented on my blog and you were all like hey, I'm Whitley and I have a blog and it's about Twilight... 
And not a single word about that cutie, you partner in bloggy crime, Jeremy? Ts,ts,ts... 
This is not just another Twilight blog - this is a very special Twilight blog, ok? 
Even Rob is pleased that there is no bloggy hormone imbalance, for once. So he did something extraordinary male in honor of Twilog: ink on a pin, underneath the skin! Pretty painful, but he took it like a man...

Animated Twilight button No 23

Buttoned: a letter from Rob

HALF MY SELF
bloggy friend: Nellie
pivotal point: severe swooning episodes

When I checked your blog, I encountered some difficulties. Nellie! How in hell am I supposed to think of a proper button design when I'm overwhelmed with all those Rob pics?? So I took an emergency swoon stop and headed over to your myspace where I saw some photos of yourself.
OME - you're beautiful! All of a sudden I had that image of Rob/Edward writing a love letter, sayin' how much he's missing you. Thought you would most likely dig this idea...

Dazzling Twilight Button No 22

...can one be dazzled by a button?

THE RAMBLINGS OF A LATCHKEY WIFE
bloggy friend: the latchkey wife
pivotal point: a key

You will most likely say it was an accident, and that you have no idea how and when you lost your key, and it wasn't deliberately at all...
the only question the is: why haven't you called the key service yet to have your door lock exchanged for safety? Hmm? 
Yeah, right. Dropped that thing like a 18th century virgin would have done with her lace seamed kerchief! 
And although we all know Edward does'nt need a key to get in wherever he wants - it seems he is appreciating the gesture...

Twilight animated button No 21

A button a day keeps the doctor away 
(not Dr. Cullen, of course!)

A CARING ERRATIC HAIRBRAINED MOM
bloggy friend: the mom
pivotal point: um... the mom?

Ok, mom - this one was a little difficult... 
since you're still almost a twi-blogger virgin (just like me - LOL) and I could not get the whole picture yet just from your blog. So I thought to give a basic summary of a twi-mom's life in three acts. 
I mean, why in hell isn't it possible to just sit there peacefully for, let's say: three or four hours, reading a really important book, without disturbance?!? 
I really don't get it. Ideas, anyone?
