Students Helping Baby Squirrel

My friend Art sent this video link to me - I thought it was so cute that I had to share. The song is called "Bruises" by Chairlift.

Creepy Burger King

You know the Burger King just creeps me out ~ the way he is always sitting beside you in bed just staring at you or peeking in your window for no apparent reason - just creepy.

Well - to add to the creepiness factor, you can be the proud own of ... yes ladies and gentleman ... Whopper scented perfume.

Go to http://www.firemeetsdesire.com/ and click on the spray bottle a few times - watch the creepy Burger King in action - click a few more times, then again a few more times - ooohh I think shivers just went down my spine.

Disney's Earth



So, I never blogged about the last 2 movies I saw "Race to Witch Mountian" and "Madea Goes to Jail". Since I never got around to posting my reviews of them, I decided to go ahead and write about "Earth", which I saw today. I was off work today because it is a state holiday Confederate Memorial Day.

"Earth" is the first, of what I assume will be several, Disneynature films (we saw a preview of their next one - "Oceans"). The photography in this movie is just unbelievable !!! I cannot even imagine how many months/years was spent filming this. Basically, the movie follows 3 families - polar bears, elephants and humpback whales on their journeys. But it is far more than that - various birds, lions, tigers, and one of my faves - a mother duck teaching her babies to fly - so cute !

It does have some Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom predator/chase scenes but they were handled well and after all, that is just part of the circle of life, as James Earl Jones, the wonderful narrator points out. It was sweet and funny in places (loved the tropical bird cleaning up for his lady friend and doing his come-hither dance).

It is a very visually stunning movie and I highly recommend seeing it (but it must be seen on the big screen). I wish it would have been in IMAX - that would have made it move from a wow movie to a WOW movie !!

Very good family movie - well worth the ticket price.

It's the Easter Bunny

I made these cute little Easter gifts for my staff - everything came from the Dollar Tree.

They had baskets too (which is what I went there for actually) and I was going to get those until my sis spotted these cute little bunny buckets - adorable!

They have green, pink and yellow Easter grass and on top is a box of jelly beans, a box of malted milk ball eggs, a chocolate-marshmallow bunny, A chocolate lollipop shaped like a bunny and a mixture of Easter wrapped Hershey bars, Hershey kisses and Reese's peanut butter cups. I hope everyone likes their little gifts.

Southland in the Springtime



In the words of Emily Saliers, there is "Something 'bout the Southland in the Springtime"
It is just so beautiful. I love these 2 close up shots I took this weekend of the trees in full bloom - especially the one where I got the little bumblebee in the shot.

Ghost at the Fox ?


I went to see A Chorus Line at the Fox Theater this past weekend and as always had my camera with me (it goes where I go). I couldn't take pictures inside the theater but took a few down in the lounge area (the area where my friend Cathy, when she was young, thought the mummies were kept)

Anyway, after I got home and uploaded the photos, I found this cool orb (right above the cabinet on the right) in one of them. So, do ghost live at the Fox?
