Went to see Elf tonight, it was cute. The soundtrack looks great.
Does anyone else put sticky notes all over their computer monitor in order to remember everything that needs to be done? I have so many on there now that my sticky notes have sticky notes.
I *finally* managed to remove the vertical blinds from the kitchen window. I'm sure they were probably expensive, but not only did I not like them, they weren't functional for us and some of the slats had broken and it just plain looked bad. We replaced it with a mini-blind that *just* made it into the slot. The window is 75 inches. The blind looks nice, it was recycled from my room, but it looks nice. It actually makes the space look bigger. I broke a drill bit, which sucked.
I'm fascinated with history. I love looking at photographs that give me a look into what things looked like during my grandparents time and my parents time. I have a diverse age group to choose from. My mother was much younger than my father, so I have hers and his and his parents and her parents, all from different times, but all living in NY. No, we haven't strayed very far.
My birth certificate lists my father's occupation on it. Interesting. the certificate is more informative than they are now.
I clicked on a site in Pet finder today and I was surprised to see a rescue charging $250.00 for a mixed breed dog. Why? I don't think that animals sould be released to anyone and I do think that a charge is acceptable, but shouldn't there be some incentive to adopt a rescue dog? You can buy a purebreed puppy for $250.00. NOT, that I think purebreeds are better, I don't, but, people will pay to know the heritage etc. There are quite a few people that think that if there is even a hint of a pit bull in a dog, they won't adopt. For many people the $250.00 would be for what they might consider piece of mind.
I sent an E-mail, but I haven't heard back from the people that we transported those rescue puppies to a couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen them listed on their page either. I think it would have been nice if they had let the volunteers know how they were.
Roy Disney is resigning. My first reaction was sadness. He wants Eisner to step down too. He has a lot of criticism of Eisner. Funny, because he was apparently the force behind getting Eisner in and Walt's daughter's husband out.
I love going to Disney, but as a Disney somewhat frequenter, I think the park and it's employees have changed and not for the better. One of Roy's complaints is about the parks. I think Disney has spread itself too thin and should concentrate more on what they have right now instead of what they are building next.
