This has become a new favorite website in the last couple of months. I do have to thank Contessa Z for introducing it to me.
Today they have a cat stuck in a double pained window with a bunny as well as my favorite (for today at least), Krazy Ham Wheel (it's near the bottom).
Contessa Z is a fan of the cookie stealing bunny. (It's the sixth one from the bottom of the bunny section.)
In case you can't find it or don't like mice/hamster animals, see the sleepy kitty because it's entirely too cute!

this is my all-time favorite

I ♥ the Dixie Chicks
I’m a girl obsessed today. I went to see the Dixie Chicks concert in Phoenix last night. Not so much because I’m into concerts but more to support them. And I guess in a way I just wanted to stand up for them. I hate to see what has happened, how they’ve been treated. It seems so wrong and unfair. I’m really surprised how taken I am with this story, I’ve always loved their passion and willingness to take a risk with their music, especially in such a conservative genre. But the fact that they have the strength to stand up for themselves when so many people turned against them, and so maliciously, just makes me want to support them even more. I can’t imagine what its been like for them these past three years. And I feel bad that I wasn’t paying more attention to this before now.
I’ve never been one to be politically active, or even politically interested beyond the basic current water cooler events of the day. But the more I read and the more interviews I see about how radio stations, the media in general, have treated the Dixie Chicks shocks me. I’m stunned that people (fans!) could turn on them like that. I guess it’s hard for most people to comprehend how people can hate another person so much, someone they don’t even know, just for having a different opinion or perspective.
At the concert they played two videos, one to support Conservation International and they other was for a trailer for their documentary Shut Up and Sing and haven’t been able to stop thinking about the whole story since then. It all just makes me so sad. It makes me want to be an activist, sadly I don't even know which part I'm most upset about! So Wednesday night I'm off to see Shut Up and Sing, I’ll let you know where I’m at about this whole thing then.
I must say it’s good to know that I’m interested in things other Britney and K-Fed (who btw DC dedicated “white trash wedding” to the newly single Fed-Ex. Also the concert was great, except for the lighting and screens were a little weak, but my work leaves me with high expectations about that kind of stuff)
One other update: Ft. Lauderdale is coming for a visit in December!
Also, I’m very happy that Fox (well News Corp actually) decided to pull OJ’s interview and book. I’m telling you I have a lot of thoughts on this who public vs media backlash and as soon as I have some cohesive thoughts on the matter I’ll let you know.
And I think at the very least, every third time I go to check a gossip/ TV website I’ll stop by a CNN or something more news/politically focused. So DC’s career may have been temporarily (hopefully) sidelined, so not only did they create one of their best videos yet, not ready to make nice,I’ve also decided to pay a little bit more attention to the world around me. So I’m just saying -- not a total loss of three years (plus they had five kids between them during that time!)

Update on the Dancing Boy
Not only did he call -- we talked for over an hour. And he told me that my thoughts aren't random, in fact he said it's like they shed light on a blah object, giving it definition and perspective. I think I might really like this boy. Imagine what he would have to say at the top of the Swiss Alps.
Oh yes -- I'm back
Okay so I know I’ve been gone a long time but I’ve been very busy. A lot has happened well not really a lot but I swear I woke up old and very busy at 28. Somehow I was just magically an adult. But lets just skip over that and pretend I haven’t been gone for all these months on end and jump to this weekend.
It has been another romantic whirlwind weekend. This doesn’t even compare to Level 5 boy. Well it is comparable but different. L5 I just liked, but this one likes me back (and he doesn’t hunt – that I know of so no worry of blood in the kitchen) I don’t know much about this one but we danced. And I don’t really dance, usually I have to be very drunk to dance and even then I feel foolish I feel like we are all frauds (ooh la la yeah look at us all having a grand old time dancing the night away) – to say the least I don’t really ever feel the music. But on Saturday night we danced all night. And he was a good dancer and he thought I was good dancer, and I was a good dancer when I was with him. He liked all my stories and thought I was funny and charming. He was sweet with out being mushy or clingy and just overall makes you smile when you think about him. And I wasn’t even nervous with him and I’m nervous with all boys even boys I’m not even interested in.
Of course he lives on the other side of the country, of course he does, because otherwise it would be too easy. Not just three states away, but all the way over to the other coast, practically as far as he could get without falling into the water (which he doesn’t like at night- the beach that is, he doesn’t like putting his feet in the water at night—not even a little bit).
He’s also a family guy, is nice to his parent and is good friends with his brother; I learned almost everything I know about the boy from his brother, which is actually kind of nice. Because you know they have a good relationship and that means he’s probably a really good guy. I like close-knit families, I think it makes for nice holidays and good husbands. (Yes I know it a fairly arbitrary assumption but I think it helps when you are raised with good examples.) I’m close to my family and I think it’s important place to have common ground. If you value the family you came from I think you are more likely to value the family you choose to create.
We talked about traveling and he said we could go anywhere and I suggested Switzerland mostly because I imagine it incredibly romantic and we could ski and eat chocolate and walk around in fabulous winter coats and buy cuckoo clocks. And he agreed to it. He thought it sounded just as a fabulous as I did.
He’s an artist and a businessman, and quirky dresser. He decides on projects and becomes completely dedicated to them till he’s done or however he decides to move on. And he’s quite and smart and has these deep thoughts and really good explanations.
He hasn’t called and its already 10pm there. So I could be on the same path as L5 (who never did actually call although he did text me once). Or I could be in an overly romantic mood because I was at the perfect destination wedding this weekend, and my sister is getting married next weekend and one of my best friends is getting married between Christmas and New Years and has a fabulous story to go with what will be a fabulous wedding.
But really I danced with this boy all night, and he plays soccer. I think I’ve told you my ideas on boys playing soccer in the park, again with the arbitrary. But even if he doesn’t call and we don’t ever meet up in Switzerland or anywhere else its nice to know that there are still boys out there that flip my stomach and make me smile without thinking. (It’s also good to know I’m not all bitter and jaded, not that we thought I was even close to that.) And what’s even better it to know that the world hasn’t really run out of good guys – not that we thought that either ?
