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.
