Joyful

I am feeling full of good feelings (somewhat redundant but also true)
I found this quote at this blog, which I highly suggest.
I found this wonderful little video that was filmed from a cell phone. Enjoy.

View Master Reel

I found this awesome OLD school view master reels of Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid. I've always loved that version of the Little Mermaid, because it is so sad. There is only a happy ending because of mermaid's sacrifice.


She dreams of other worlds


After his ship sinks, she saves the handsome prince, and falls in love.


She watches to make sure he safely found.


She makes a deal to gain legs, but each times she walks it will feel as though she walking on shards of glass. And she will die if she does not marry the prince.


She finds the prince, but he is already in love with another.


She must either kill the prince on his wedding night or die, she loves him so much, she cannot harm him. She says goodbye to the bride & groom.


Her sisters lament her death, but she is received in heaven.

I Love Manatee!

Talk about fat and happy!


I was always a big fan of manatees, but I was just reintroduced to the darling mammal. Everything about them is squishy, slow, and large! I kind of want one for a pet. At least I want to see one in person soon. And hopefully catch it doing this:

Tangled

So, this weekend with Jon's family, we began watching the newest Disney film TANGLED! I was loving the film, but Jon & I needed to get home, so we left about half an hour in. The only reason I agreed to leave was on the promise that we would buy the DVD that evening & finish it at our house. To my HUGE disappointment, everyone was sold out! Walmart, Smith's, Kmart, Target, etc. Basically this is just my whine post, to explain that I was very bummed. The end.



P.S. I'm not planning on buying the 3D version, I just wanted to post the DVD image on here.

Mobbed

Jon & I watched this last night & just about died! This is just the sweetest thing I have ever seen in my life! Seriously, I was crying by the end it was so cute. Jon felt the same way, he was telling me how I needed to call Brit right away (Brit has this LOVE of flash mobs especially the dance ones) This is the full first episode from hulu, but tune in to watch the rest of the episodes. I know I will be!



If you are on a time crunch, make sure to just watch the last half, that is where the magic happens.

Encore

Set Fire to the Rain

Just if you are interested, this is another one of my favorites. I would die to see her live!

Someone Like You

I am in love with the soulful singer Adele. She's been around a while & I've liked her stuff, but this song really just makes you feel so much. I almost felt like crying after I heard it. She introduces it at the beginning, so go to minute 1:05 for just the music.

Remembering Elizabeth

Elizabeth Taylor
February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011

She was such a beautiful woman, and I just love how she knew the power of eyes. They're so beautiful! I can remember the first time I saw her in a movie, I just couldn't help but ask who she was, I was in aww of her.
