This is amazing, the video is about 7 minutes, but what a neat story about a crow that adopted an abandonded kitten!

Ten things you may or may not know about me...
...and do you even care??!!
1. What were you doing in the summer of 1988?
I was freewheeling and fancy free-I had graduated in June and was taking the summer off before I started college in the fall.
2. Do you watch sports?
Not on Tv-I avoid televised sports like the plague although I enjoy playing sports and watching them live.
3. When is the last time you watched “The Wizard of Oz?”
I haven’t watched it all the way through in years probably, but it was on last summer a few times and I turned it on and it played in the background while I did other things.
4. Do you enjoy watching older movies-movies made before 1960?
Absolutely-I love AMC and TCM as much as possible-most of the movies on my favorite lists are from the 50’s and 60’s. My friend Ginger probably cringes when I tell her I’ve discovered an old classic gem-she knows at one point I will force her to watch it or hound her until she does!
5. What is the last book you read?
I just got through with “The Darkest Evening of the Year” by Dean Koontz. I was a bit let down on this one, I generally like his stuff but this one seemed “phoned in”. My Dad started reading him from my recommendation and I took this one over to him on Saturday so I am curious to see if he liked it or not.
6. XM, AM or FM?
I always listen to FM-something that plays a mix of 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. I got an XM radio for Christmas but I have yet to subscribe to the service-I have it on my to do list, honestly!
7. Disney or Pixar?
I love a good classic Disney but I’m won over by the amazing things that Pixar produces. My Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles and Finding Nemo DVD’s are probably close to being worn out.
8. What is on your must see TV schedule?
I absolutely love “30 Rock”, “My Name is Earl”, “Prison Break” and “Pushing Daisies”. I try to watch reruns of “Frazier”, “Seinfeld” and “The Golden Girls” as much as possible-those never get old for me! I used to be that way with “Friends”, “Sex and The City” and “Will and Grace” but I have quit watching them.
9. Is there anyone in the room with you now?
My dachshund Petey, he will come in here from time to time to see if have a treat for him or to let me know he has to go outside. If I can tell he just wants a treat and I don’t give him one-he will walk out of the room with a “chuff” noise to let me know he isn’t happy with the results.
10. What did you have for dinner tonight?
Boy these quizzes get nosier and nosier huh? I had fried shrimp, coleslaw, hush puppies and French fries-can you hear my arteries hardening as we speak?

Tori Amos
I'm loving my Tori Amos today. The first video is weird-you have been warned. Rick said it was going to give him nightmares, but I think its fun and quirky!
The are the first two songs I ever heard her sing:
I didn't like this song when I first heard it-a remake of the Nirvana song "Smells like teen spirit" but I like it now:
I love the words to this one:

Some recent pictures
We got a surprise January Rainbow on Monday. The other pictures didn't turn out so well, but it was a huge double rainbow and the end seemed so close and vivid that I could almost reach out and touch it.
My little old man Randy taking a well deserved nap!
Fall foliage
Either it was foggy or out of focus! It's eerie, but I like it

Sunday
I got all of my papers back to the prize coordinator and she called and told me everything is in order and the next step would be to talk to the prize coordinator at Travelocity and choose the dates I wan't to take the trip.
I have been doing some research on the internet of the fun things to do while we are there-5 days won't be enough!

Aloha Waikiki
I finally got the email with the affidavit of eligibility and the details of the prize I won. It is a trip to Waikiki on Oahu. We will be staying at the Sheraton Waikiki! It looks really nice. I have always wanted to pay my respects at Pearl Harbor and it isn't too far away from the hotel.
All I have to do now is fill out the paperwork and fax it back to the prize coordinator and then I will receive more information on how to redeem the prize.
I had got into a rut about entering my sweepstakes since my wins were few and far between-this win has taken care of that! I never think of it as luck that I win anything, its just persistence, patience and entering a sweepstakes at the right time.
I hope everyone has a great weekend :)

Hawaii here I come!!!
I just got an email from the Blockbuster Great Gift Giveaway Instant win game that I am the potential winner of the grand prize trip from Travelocity!!
I looked up the rules and there are 4 trips on the grand prize list. They are all 5 days in different destinations in Hawaii!
I have to wait for another email with the affidavit of eligibility and I'm not sure when I'll find out which destination I won. I looked them up and they all look amazing. The prizes were: Kauai, Maui, Waikiki, and The Big Island. The hotels all looked very nice! The ARV ranges from $4,300 to $5,000. I can't wait to find out which one I will be going to-I'll have until November of 2008 to take the trip.
I have been entering this every day since November 13th, they send you an email after you enter to let you know if you have won and all the emails I have gotten so far have said sorry-you are not a winner. So tonight when I looked I was shocked to see Congratulations!
I hope everyone is having a great week! :)

SLEEEP
I haven't been sleeping well, last night I tossed and turned and could not sleep. I woke up a few times after having nightmares and after my alarm went off I hit snooze. Then I didn't hear it go off again and was 15 minutes late to work.
It was like that the night before too. I'm so tired now everything is blurry-I hope I can sleep tonight. I was tired when I went to bed last night but just lie there waiting and waiting.
Everything else is going ok, we got our outside Christmas lights up and later this week we will tackle the inside.
I hope everyone is having a great week :)
