Happy New Year

I hope everyone has a great New year and a safe and happy New Years Eve!

Merry Christmas Wishes

To everyone Merry Christmas and best wishes for happy times with family and friends. To all those who are unable to be with your family or friends during this time of year keep them close in your memories and prayers. I hope everyone gets what they want this Christmas and I wish everyone the best. I hope things are going good for all those who are venturing to other homes this year and please do be careful on the roads and give yourself some extra time to get where you are going.

Stupid Laws

Ok, as a Paralegal major I find it amusing to sit and look at all the stupid and dumb laws that are still on the books in the states now. It seems that they people that handle the listing of these things would wake up and realize that they don't really apply anymore. Anyway here are a few from the Kentucky area:

***Throwing eggs at a public speaker could result in up to one year in prison.

***One may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once.

***It is illegal to fish with a bow and arrow in Kentucky.

***Dogs may not molest cars.

***A woman may not buy a hat without her husband's permission.

***By law, anyone who has been drinking is "sober" until he or she "cannot hold onto the ground".

***It is illegal in Kentucky to marry the same man more than 3 times.

***It's illegal to fish in the Ohio River in Kentucky without an Indiana Fishing License.

***No person shall sell, exchange, offer to sell or exchange, display or possess living baby chicks, ducklings, or other fowl or rabbits which have been dyed or colored; nor dye or color any baby chicks, ducklings or other fowl or rabbits; nor sell, exchange, offer to sell or exchange or to give away baby chicks, ducklings or other fowl or rabbits, under two months of age in any quantity less than six, except that any rabbit weighing three pounds or more may be sold at an age of six weeks. Any person who violates this section shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $500.

So what do you think about the crazy laws that are still on the books in Kentucky? LOL Personally I find them to be quite amusing to think about. Especially when you read the one about the dogs and the cars and the blue ducks. I mean seriously was this ever an issue in the old days?

Funny

Now this picture is what I call being prepared. Why don't most public bathrooms look like that??? I guess that would make it way to easy to actually find a bathroom stall that had toilet paper in it!!! What are the chances that you will actually be able to find one with a full roll and not the little residue left over after the person before you has used the majority of the roll to cover the seat. Oh good grief that's what they make the little seat covers for people. LOL Just ranting. This would be a great idea I am sure.

What is Your Wrestling Name?

Here is a fun quiz to take.

Your Wrestler Name Is...

Velvet Chainsaw

What's" Your Wrestler Name?

Wal-Mart Headaches

Alright, today was a very agrivating day and the more I deal with the people working at my local Wal-Mart Photo Center the more I come to respect the intelligence of the average MONKEY!! Now no offence to those employees of Wal-Mart that actually have common sence. I mean my husband worked there for 2 years and he's still soemthing resembling normal. Come on honey you know it's true....

Anyway, I sent my Christmas picture over the internet to the one hour developing studio and then waited 2 HOURS just to give them a little extra time because I understand it is the Holidays an things can be clogged. So I get there and wait in line for 15 MINUTES while the 2 employes stand around in the back of the developing station and talk to one another. When they finally realize there is a large pill up of people one of them comes over and I give her my name and the number of pictures I had. She brings me one of the packets of pictures which was supposed to contain wallet size and 4x6 size pictures. I opened them to make sure they were mine and realized that they had screwed up almost all of the pictures I had.

The wallets were cut so that my puppy's head was cut off and my head was cut in half. The 5x7 I had sent over was cut wrong and they didn't even print out the 8x10 that I ordered. I mentioned to the woman that was there that my pictures were wrong and that I hadn't got the 8x10 that I ordered. She said that they had to many regular pictures to print out to load the 8x10 paper and then she got all mad when I told her that I was not paying for the pictures because they were done wrong. She started telling me that I was responsible for the way the pictures turned out because I didn't fix the pictures before I sent them to the photo place. How STUPID!!!! Like it was my responsibility to do her work. She then said she had no idea when my 8x10 would be done. 1 Hour developing my butt.

Sometimes I just want to scream. There were others that canceled their entire order because of her attitude. Some people!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Freekboi

Happy Birthday Freekboi!!!! Bet you never thought I would post about your birthday did you. HA HA got you this year. Hope you like the Birthday Penguin.

High School Never Ends

You ever realize that the crazy things we had to deal with in high school never end? Well I hadn't thought about it until I heard the new song from Bowling for Soup. The popular people, the jocks and the nerds. Seems like you always have to deal with the same things you did back in school. Read the lyrics and see how much they relate to the lives that we are living after high school and how they relate to the lives we lived while in high school.

High School Never Ends
Four years you think for sure
That's all you've got to endure
All the total dicks
All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate
You take a look around and you say
HEY WAIT
This is the same as where I just came from
I thought it was over
Aw that's just great

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex, Who's got the money, who gets the honeys,
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends
High school never ends

Check out the popular kids
You'll never guess what Jessica did
How did Mary Kate lose all that weight
And Katie had a baby so I guess Tom's straight
And the only thing that mattersIs climbing up that social ladder
Still care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn't matter if you're sixteen or thirty-five
Reese Witherspoon,She's the prom queen
Bill Gates,Captain of the chess team
Jack Black, the clown
Brad Pitt, the quarterback
I've seen it all beforeI want my money back

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex,
Who's in the clubs and who's on the drugs,
Who's throwing up before they digest
And you still don't have the right look
And you don't have the right friends
And you're still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never endsHigh school never ends

The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex,Who's got the money, who gets the honeys,
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And I still don't have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never endsHigh school never ends
High school never endsHere we go again

7 Leg Deer in Wisconsin

According to a new story on Yahoo.com a man in FOND DU LAC, Wisconsin ran over a Deer in his driveway that had 7 legs and both female and male reproductive organs.

Rick Lisko hunts deer with a bow but got his most unusual one driving his truck down his mile-long driveway. The young buck had nub antlers — and seven legs. Lisko said it also had both male and female reproductive organs. "It was definitely a freak of nature," Lisko said. "I guess it's a real rarity."

He said he slowed down as the buck and two does ran across the driveway Nov. 22, but the buck ran under the truck and got hit.
When he looked at the animal, he noticed three- to four-inch appendages growing from the rear legs. Later, he found a smaller appendage growing from one of the front legs.
"It's a pretty weird deer," he said, describing the extra legs as resembling "crab pinchers."
"It kind of gives you the creeps when you look at it," he said, but he thought he saw the appendages moving, as if they were functional, before the deer was hit.
Warden Doug Bilgo of the state Department of Natural Resources came to Lisko's property near Mud Lake in the town of Osceola to tag the deer.

"I have never seen anything like that in all the years that I've been working as a game warden and being a hunter myself," Bilgo said. "It wasn't anything grotesque or ugly or anything. It was just unusual that it would have those little appendages growing out like that."
Bilgo took photos and sent information on the animal to DNR wildlife managers.
John Hoffman of Eden Meat Market skinned the deer for Lisko, who wasn't going to waste the venison from the animal.

"And by the way, I did eat it," Lisko said. "It was tasty."

Camel crashes Irish Party

DUBLIN - Staff at an Irish riding school were forced to postpone festivities after Gus the camel chomped his way through 200 mince pies and several cans of Guinness intended for their Christmas party.

Gus, starring in the riding school’s Santa’s Magical Animal Kingdom show, helped himself to the feast while staff were getting changed for the party.
“Gus found his way out of his pen and helped himself,” Robert Fagan, owner of the Mullingar Equestrian Centre in central Ireland, told Reuters.

Man Impersonates A Cop....To Go Bowling

Now I enjoy bowling as the next person but this is taking it to the extreme just a little. LOL

A man in Savannah, Georgia went to jail over the weekend for impersonating a police officer in order to get onto a military base. He wanted to get onto the base in order to go to their bowling alley. The man's drivers license was cracked in half and when he showed them to the requesting military officer they requested another form of identification.

That is when the man showed them the police officer's badge. Wanting to confirm the man's identity the military officer phoned the police department who informed him that the man was not a police officer and also that his license were suspended for a failure to pay child support.

According to the man, he found the officer's badge at a work site.

This just Seems Strange

Coming soon to a supermarket near you a stirrer that will take the caffeine out of your coffee. Ok, seriously now....if I wanted to drink Decaf Coffee I think I would just buy Decaf Coffee and not go through the expense of buying regular coffee and then buying the stirrers to take the caffeine out of my coffee.

However, the new stirrer by The DeCaf Company pulls the caffeine out of regular coffee, allegedly without ruining the flavor of the coffee. The stirer is said to have a spcial coating that attracts the caffeine and then binds them to the stirrer. The stirrer is said to collect as much as 70% of the caffeine in the coffee. This is projected to be in supermarkets sometime next year in the coffee aisle.

On one hand you allegedly get the taste of regular coffee without the caffeine, but on the other hand it's not known how expensive this product will be when it does hit the market.

Adjustable Hot Sauce

Now, thanks to Dave's Gourmet Adjustable Heat Hot Sauce this new type of hot sauce adapts to everyone's tastes. Hot, mild it doesn't matter. The cap adjusts to set the spiciness by blending two sauces to match the spice level you want.

Available in supermarkets and online at www.amazon.com. The price for this hot sauce would be $18l72 for a 3-pack. The Adjustable Sauce has been featured on The Today Show and in Time Magazine. It was also a winner of Best New Product and packaging award.

Funny Sign

I love funny signs so when I find one out there I just have to share it. As a law student I found this one to be quite funny. I never was a fan of the Ernest movies so that doesn't make it funny but the last name is what really got me laughing. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. LOL

First Good Snow of the Winter

Yesterday was the first good snow of the Winter season here. Although it wasn't much it was kind of interesting to see my puppys reactions to the snow. One of my dogs has seen snow before and played in it but my other one is only 4 months old and he has never seen snow until yesterday so that was kind of interest. I can't wait until the next snow when I can let them play in the snow. LOL Eventhough it means that I will have to bath them immediately afterwards. Here's hoping everyone is having a great time and have fun.

Eggs That Tell You When They're Done

A British egg manufacturer has developed what they call "smart Eggs" which have a heat sensitive ink on the shell of the egg.

The ink is invisible until the egg is boiled to the prefrence of the purchaser. The eggs will come in 3 varieties – Soft, medium and hard-boiled. Those who purchase these eggs would need to buy the type they want beforehand; otherwise, they will be dissapointed when the eggs do not turn out as planned.

Once the ink appears on the shell of the egg that is the indcator that the egg is fully boiled. Each variety of the eggs will come in their own separate carton. These eggs are projected to be available next year in the dairy section nationwide supermarkets, but who knows if we will ever see this or if it will be a product that falls by the wayside.

Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Comics

I usually don't do book reviews or the such but this deserves to be blogged about. I absolutely love the Laurell K. Hamilton series Anita Blake Vampire Hunter so when the comic was announced I was excited to see how the book was going to turn into a visual comic.

The art is amazing and the characters look great in the comic. I have the first 2 issues of the comic and can't wait for the next on slated to be released in December and then the 4th issue will be released in January. If you are a fan of Laurell K. Hamilton or even of Anita Blake or even if you are looking for a good comic read with vampires, ware animals or the like then check out the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Comic Series.

Strange

Now I'm not the biggest Chinese food fan in the world--except for the occassional Kung Pao and Chinese donuts-- but this funny sign captured my attention one day while I was surfing the web and I thought it would be a funny addition to the blog.

I love finding funny signs and sharing them with others. Just ask Freekboi at Freekboi's Blog in my links and he'll tell you....I'm always sending him funny pics for his blog. Here's hoping you at least smiled a little.

Turkeys Making A Break For It

A dozen or so wild turkeys in Ramsey, New Jersey were making a break for it on the day before Thanksgiving this year.

The turkeys were spoted at the New Jersey Transit standing on a platform apparently waiting for the next out of town train to help them escape the fait of a turkey dinner the next day. LOL

The turkeys were captured on the surveillance cameras of the New Jersey Transit. According to the Ramsey police dispatcher the police department had received three calls regarding the turkeys. The turkeys are also being blamed for cause trouble with the morning rush hour trafic trouble in the area. More on this story can be found on Yahoo at:

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there and I hope everyone has a great day with familiy and friends.

Good luck to those who are heading out to the "Black Friday" (day after thanksgiving sales). I'll be there at 5 am at Wal-Mart to get a few things for Christmas. Hope everyone is well.

American Cancer Society's Relay For Life

Hello out there! I just wanted to place a post here for my Relay For Life Team's Blog that I recently created to help keep my team members as well as other updated on the progress of our Relay For Life Team, our fundraisers, and all the great work that is done by the American Cancer Society. Here's the link http://generationhoperelayteam.blogspot.com/ I hope everyone will drop by and see the page.

Every one has a special reason for doing the Relay For Life and my team and I are no different. Some of us have lost more than one speical person in our lives from cancer and I belive that through the American Cancer Society's research there will one day be a cure for this disease. Personal reason are a great reason to join the Relay For Life but they are not a requirement. So do it out of the sheer feeling of helpfullness. Knowing that the money you raise throughout the year goes into research, and even to help a victim of cancer or their familys is a great feeling no matter who you are.

3 Arrested for Smuggling Siberian Tigers

According to Yahoo.com News, Montenegrin police have seized two Siberian tigers and arrested three people for trying to smuggle the endangered animals. The tigers, a male and a female, were found in a van at Petrovici village, near the town of Niksic on a road that connects Montenegro and Bosnia, in a regular police check on the vehicle, police told Dan newspaper Wednesday.

The three suspects, two of them from Serbia and a Montenegrin national, face charges of trafficking a protected species, which the daily added were each worth around 380,000 dollars.

Siberian tigers, the largest of all tiger subspecies, were hunted nearly to extinction by the mid-20th century. Fewer than 400 of the animals remain in the wild.

As a person who enjoys the Tigers and loves to see them this angers and saddens me to the point of wondering what the world is coming to. A species that is so endanger of extention is still being drove farther and farther into the total elimination of that animal.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween to all the ghosts and goblins out there in cyber world and in the real world as well. So what is everyone going to be for Halloween????? I've chose a Pirate costume because of my love for Pirates of the Caribbean movies. LOL

Like Father Like Daughter

In an article on Yahoo.com News daughter of Steve Irwin, Bindi will be staring in her own TV Show.

Like father, like daughter. Bindi Irwin, the 8-year-old daughter of the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, will star in a wildlife series to air on the Discovery Kids network early next year. The show's working title: "Bindi, The Jungle Girl."

The show, now in the early stages of production, was originally "going to be a father-daughter thing," starring the nature-loving duo, Discovery publicist Annie Howell told the Associated Press on Monday. "Steve and Bindi were very enthusiastic about doing the show together."
Irwin will appear with Bindi in scenes filmed before his death, his manager, John Stainton, said in an interview on People magazine's Web site.

"Some people think that I would be afraid of them, but I'm never ever afraid of an animal," Bindi said in an interview Monday on ABC's "Australian Story."

"I just get excited and some that are dangerous I just think, `Oooh! What's going to happen?' and things like that."

Fried Coke?

Ok, Here's one for my husband. After a weekend at a local festivle where he tried a deep friend twinkie and a deep fried Snikers Bar I'm sure he would love to try this one if it ever was made around here. Maybe next year. LOL

Deep Fried Coke!!!!!!
The gooey Coke-battered nuggets topped with cola syrup won the "most creative" title at the Texas state fair in Dallas last month. Since then, the deep-fried phenomenon has spread to North Carolina and Arizona.

"We've been getting calls from everywhere since we introduced it," Elizabeth Martin, a spokeswoman for the North Carolina fair, told the Dallas Morning News. "Everyone wants to know where they can get it."

Fried treats are as big of a draw at state fairs as the rides and prize-winning farm animals. Twinkies, cookies and even pickles are stuck with a stick, dipped in batter and then seared in the deep fryer.

Fried Coke's inventor, concessionaire Abel Gonzales Jr., is a creative fryer whose experiments have proven popular. Last year he sold 20,000 fried peanut butter, jelly and banana sandwiches, the Morning News reported. Fried Coke looks to be an even bigger hit: he sold 16,000 cups of the sticky balls in the first two weeks of the fair, which runs through Oct. 22.
Gonzales has also had more success with changing his recipe than Coca Cola did. He reworked the recipe to make the dough less cakey and more spongy so it would soak up more of the cola syrup. Credit to Yahoo.com News

Are Diamonds a Wedding Cake's Best Friend?

An extravagant $20 million (10.7 million pounds) diamond-studded wedding cake, created by Mimi So Jewellers and cake designer Nahid La Patisserie Artistique, is the star attraction of the Luxury Brands Bridal Show and will be unveiled on exclusive Rodeo Drive.

"Where else would you debut a $20 million wedding cake but on Rodeo Drive?" said show organiser Ilona Sherman.

The cake is protected by a team of uniformed security guards at all times, she said. And there's no way it will ever be eaten.

"I think diamonds are too hard on the stomach," Sherman said. Credit to Yahoo.com News

Weddings are getting more expensive every year but this really takes the cake....no pun intended.

Ice Cream Has Gone To The Dogs

In a news report on Yahoo.com reportedly Good Humor Ice Cream Company and Pedigree Dog Food Company are joining together to create a frozen ice cream sandwich treat for man and woman's best friend.

There is already an ice cream out in most Wal-Mart and Meyers called Frosty Paws. At last glance these were in original and Peanut Butter flavored. My Poodle loves them and that is saying something because she can be quite the picky eater when she wants to be.

The companies plan to sell packages of 24 frozen treats for $3.99. It will be interesting to see if pet store chains such as PetSmart and Petco begin carrying these treats as well as local grocery stores. I for one hope they do because my puppy loves ice cream.

What will they think of next I wonder.

Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin killed

Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray during a diving expedition, police said. He was 44.


Irwin was filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in northeastern Queensland state when the accident occurred, Sydney's The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported on its Web site.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said Irwin was diving near Low Isles Reef near the resort town of Port Douglas, about 1,260 miles north of the state capital of Brisbane.

What A Tip

Two weeks ago in HUTCHINSON, Kansas a bartender at Applebee's got a $100 tip from one of her regular customers. This week the same bartender at the same Applebees got a $10,000 tip from the same man — for a $26 meal!!!! The man, whom company officials have declined to name, comes in several times a month and eats at the end of the bar. He has always tipped well, she said, usually leaving $15 on a $30 tab.

"He usually signs his ticket and flips it upside down," said Kienow, 35, who has worked at the restaurant for eight years. "But this time, he had it right-side up and said `I want you to know this is not a joke.'"

This would be a shocker to anyone!

Anita Blake Comic Update

It appears that dabel brothers production has pushed back the release of the new Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Comic Book, Guilty Pleasures up into October.

By all accounts the delay of the release is expected to be worth the wait and with dabel brothers expected to make a press release sometime soon hopefully all of us Anita Blake fans will discover the reason for the repeated delays of the comic.

Regardless of the reasoning you can bet that I will be ordering the comic when it is finally released. My order has been placed with my local comic store since July which was the original release date for the comic.

Pirates of the Caribbean Sets Records

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest has set two records this, it's opening weekend. Pirates has earnd 132 million dolllars in its opening weekend. The previous record for opening weekend was 114.8 million set by "Spiderman" in May 2002.

Pirates was also the first moive to ever make more than 100 million dollars in two days. Pirates set the highest single-day gross in box office history with 55.5 million in earnings.

According to yahoo.com
"Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith" had previously held the record for the highest single-day earnings with 50 million dollars set in May 2005."

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man' Chest is now in theaters and I'm sure many of you were like me and trucked to the movie theater yesterday in order to catch Pirate Fever and get your fix of Jack Sparrow and his wacky actions.

I laughed until I was nearly in tears at parts of the movie and although this movie is somewhat different than the first movie they are both completely amazing. Definate hints of Pirates 3 are evident toward the end of the movie. No I am not going to spoil the ending of the movie for those who have not been to see the movie and those who do not wish to know the ending until they can view it for themselves.

Here's hoping everyone enjoys Jack Sparrow and his band of misfits and pirates.

Happy 4th of July to everyone and I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope the fireworks are beautiful.

Here's the 4th of July Unicorn wishing everyone the best 4th of July possible.

New Anita Blake Book

The newest Anita Blake Vampire Hunter book was released today. The most recent of Laurell K Hamilton's adictive series sounds like an interesting read. Here's what I've found on the internet about the book.

It was the middle of November. I was supposed to be out jogging, but instead I was sitting at my breakfast table talking about men, sex, werewolves, vampires, and that thing that most unmarried but sexually active women fear most...

Anita Blake needs to be concentrating on a dangerous situation: The ardeur, the sexual power that flows between Anita and Jean-Claude, Master Vampire of the City, and Richard, the volatile werewolf who loves her passionately, is reaching new levels, perhaps evolving into something altogether new. The ardeur seems to be choosing new lovers for Anita, acting with a will of its own. As Jean-Claude says, the ardeur is hunting powerful prey. The unexpected effect of this is that Jean-Claude's own power as a master vampire has grown to new levels -- and Richard, never predictable, is changing, too.

But as the days pass, Anita's less interested in vampire politics than in an ancient, ordinary dread she shares with women down the ages: She may be pregnant. And, if she is, whether the father is a vampire, a werewolf, or someone else entirely, she knows perfectly well that being a Federal Marshal known for raising the dead and being a vampire executioner is no way to bring up a baby...

Definately, I'll have to pick this one up.

Pirates of the Caribbean Premiere

One of my favorite movies was Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl so it would only seem natural that I would be excitedly looking forward to the opening of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest on July 7th. Here are some pictures from the premiere of the movie in Disneyland.

Singer Marilyn Manson (L) poses with Disney character Mickey Mouse at the world premiere of the new adventure film 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, June 24, 2006.

WWE Smackdown! House Show

I attended WWE Smackdown last night and had a great time. Aside from some agrivating people who were seated behind me who kept mouthing off about their seat location and the fact that they were told that they coud not stand in the seats by security. They ended up being moved to seats that were farther away from where they started. The matches were good and everyone had a great time at the event. Here's a recap of the matche and their winners:

Matt defeated Ken Kennedy. That was one of my favorite matches of the night and I got some good pics of the match. I just hope they all turn out good.

The Great Khali defeated Tatanka. Paul London & Brian Kendrick defeated Jamie Noble & Kid Kash. Gregory Helms defeated Super Crazy. Vito wore a black and white dress with a black thong. I wish I hadn't been trying to take a picture at the point Simon Dean showed that to the crowd. lol Vito defeated Simon Dean. Batista teamed with Rey Mysterio against Mark Henry and Finley. The crowd went wild when Batista and Rey came out!!!!! Batisa and Rey were the winners of the match.

There was no pyro or titon tron at this event and it was basicly just the wrestler's entrance music that let you know who was coming to the ring. There was very little promo activity done in the ring and mostly just wrestling. Aside from the diva body contest which I never really paid any attention to. LOL

Anita Blake Comic UPDATE

For all those who are eagerly awaiting the release of the new Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Comic book Guilty Pleasures the Release date has been set for JULY 26, 2006.

There will be two collectors covers and one regular cover for the first release of the comics. Concept art can be viewed at the Dabel Brothers website and also at Laurel K Hamilton's website on her message board.

Here's hoping everyone has a great day and enjoys the comic once we are able to get it. LOL

Various Comments

What a week!!!! My internet has been going in and out for the last two days and it has really agrivated me. Now the phone company won't be out to look at it until Friday. Oh well.

June 22nd. My 4 year wedding anniversary! Hard to believe that four years ago I was stressing over what my crazy friends were going to do at my wedding. LOL Yep you guessed it...my best friend, my maid of honor, was pregnant and threatened to have her baby at the wedding and the best man showed up with a green beard. No I'm not lying. LOL Those two were crazy.

Sunday, June 25th I'll be attending a WWE Smackdown show. I hope they don't change the line up very much more. Over half of the matches that were scheduled for there have already been changed or cancled or something.

Here's hoping everyone enjoyed the first day of summer!!!!

Irony

In Amarillo, Texas irony comes to the front in a recent billboard. It reads: "Congratulations! Caitlin Cambell for making Amarillo proud." The billboard was put up as a congratulations for Caitlin's 8th place finish in the national spelling bee, however the company mispelled her name on the billboard. The spelling of her name is Caitlin Campbell.

Caitlin, 14, made it to the ninth round of the first prime-time network broadcast of the Scripps National Spelling Bee earlier this month in Washington. She left the competition when she misspelled the word collyrium, a term for eye lotion.

Cat chases Black Bear up a Tree

A black bear picked the wrong yard for a jaunt, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree — twice.

Jack, a 15-pound orange and white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, often chasing small animals, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising.

After about 15 minutes, the bear descended and tried to run away, but Jack chased it up another tree.
The owners feared for the cat, then called Jack home and the bear scurried back to the woods.

"He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said.
Bear sightings are not unusual in West Milford, which experts consider one of the state's most bear-populated areas.

WWW BACKLASH in Lexington Kentucky

WWE Backlash was last night at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky and I had a wonderful time. It was great! The pyro was so loud from where I was sitting. My tickets were ringside by the entrance stage and I got some great pictures but haven't had the opportunity to get them developed today. When I do expect to see some of them on here. It was a great experience for my first live WWE experience. Hopefully it won't be my last. John Cena retained his championship in the main event by disqualification, Trish Stratus dislocated her shoulder during her match with Mickie James, Carlito defeated Christ Masters, Vince and Shane McMahon with help from the Spirit Squad defeated Shawn Michaels.

Tripple H did quite a few DX chops after the match was over and Shawn Michaels reverted back to DX days when he had the Lexington crowd scream "Suck It" at Vince and Shane before the match. There were many interesting signs in the crowd and a few even got taken by the security at the event. Hope everyone that went had a great time! I know I sure did.

Pampered Pets

In Lexington, Kentucky they are building a Pet Suites, Resort and Spa. I find this so cute, being as I own a toy poodle and she believes that she a princess. (Oh ok, so we treat her like a princess!) Also in Lexington, Kentucky there is a Pet Supermarket which is apparently a new store as they haven't got everything set up yet but they have a wide selection of treats and toys for your pet.

They also sell birds, rabbitts and other animals.

In addition to Petsmart these stores will pamper the pets of Lexington and surrounding areas. Hopefully the Spa will be open before we move and my little Jazzy will get to go there. What a princess wants a princess gets. LOL

Happy Easter

Happy Easter from the Easter Unicorn!!!!!

Hopefully everyone had a great Easter and I hope the Easter Bunny visited all the children. Here's a picture for the Easter funnies:

Monster Rabbit

In London it appears that a monster rabbit is reeking havic on the villagers in northeast England. "It is a massive thing. It is a monster. The first time I saw it, I said: 'What the hell is that?'" the Northumberland Gazette newspaper quoted local resident Jeff Smith, 63, as saying on its website (www.northumberlandtoday.co.uk).

The Continental Giant breed of rabbit can grow to a size of 26 inches. I found the story on Yahoo.com and found it to be quite interesting and amazing that rabbit's can grow to such sizes.

On Saturday April 8th me and my friends held a bake sale at our local Wal-Mart for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life event. Our Relay team sold items such as peanut butter and chocolate fudege, fried pies and a variety of other baked goods. We heard the stories of some of our customers that are cancer survivors and those who have family members that were recently diagnosed with cancer. The day was considered a success with our Relay For Life team raising over $200 at the bake sale.

Our Relay For Life team is also auctioning off items that were donated by various celebrities at ebay. The direct url for our auctions is http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZmistic_pandaQQhtZ-1 Feel free to drop by and check out our auctions there. We are updating the auction listing as often as we receive new items.

Lady and The Tramp

Disney's Lady and The Tramp was re-released on February 28th for the 50th Anniversary of the movie. I absolutely love this movie and believe it to be one of the greatest movies Disney has done. Then again I just love the movie so I am a little bias when it comes to Lady and The Tramp.

"Walt Disney's beloved classic, filled with memorable music and purebred fun, now shines like never before with an all-new digital restoration! Embark on a thrilling adventure with the most unforgettable characters: Lady, Tramp, Jock and Trusty, and Si and Am. Unleash all the fun and excitement in this 2-Disc 50th Anniversary Edition, including deleted scenes, 5.1 Disney Enhanced Home Theater Mix, all-new games, making-of secrets and much more! English, French and Spanish language tracks. " http:///disneyshopping.go.com

Poker Poodle

I love to play poker and over the weekend me, my husband and some friends were playing poker when my poodle decided she wanted to get into the game. LOL A few times she growled at the cards and that's when we knew it was time to fold. My poodle is deffinately my precious little girl and even a mean poker player if I do say so myself. LOL

^ What a poker face. Here's hoping everyone had a great weekend and best wishes for a good week.

Snow

The snow is falling again and the only thing I like about it is the possibility of getting out of class tomorrow. I think even in college everyone should be awarded a few snow days every once in a while. Other than that purpose I do not care for the snow. Being a walking accident, I don't care much for things that increase my risk of falling and hurting myself. Snow can be pretty to look at but other than hopefully getting me out of school I don't care much. Snow is pretty on Christmas Eve and even Christmas Day but after that I pretty much lose interest in the stuff.

I hope everyone is staying warm and safe during the winter months.

What a Week!

As the saying goes, it's been one of those days all week. Between school and homework there has not been much time for anything else but every now and again I find the time to take a break. In the spare time that I have I have been working with my friends to raise money for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life event. Expect to hear more about the Relay as it gets close to the date. We have done candle sales but as of now that is the only fundraiser activity we have completed.

If anyone out there has any ideas for us to raise money for cancer research leave me a message! We can always use new ideas!

To learn more about the Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society you can visit www.cancer.org From there you can also see if there will be a Realy For Life even near you. I'm off to more crazy work but keep checking back for more information on the Relay and other things going on in the world of Unicorn Dreams!!!!

Disney Cruise

Just recently got back from a cruise in the Caribbean and I couldn't have had a better time. It was a four day cruise on the Disney Wonder and it was great. I would reccomend this trip to anyone who is looking into a cruise. The decks of the ship were easy to navigate and there was always something to do. From Disney character greetings and pictures, to pools for children, families and adults to deck parties and dinners there was always something to do.

That is quite the compliment coming from me since I had no desire to be on a ship in the middle of the ocean. I was always afraid of a Titanic issue, but I have to admit that I didn't think much about it. It was like a floating hotel and you never realized that it was moving until you looked outside. But now it's back to school and snow. I left 80-90 degree weather for this??? What was I thinking.
