A few of my friends and I just got back from a vacation at DisneyWorld. We flew down and took a shuttle from the airport to the condo that we were renting, and then used the condo’s courtesy shuttle to go from the condo to DisneyWorld and back again. There were lots of restaurants within walking distance of the condo so we never had to rent a car.

What a great trip that was! I loved walking around and people watching more than anything else; that is something that I seem to enjoy doing a lot.

I think that the Haunted Mansion was my favorite attraction at the Magic Kingdom. And at Epcot Center I really liked the boat ride through “The Land” where you ride a boat through some greenhouses and listen to them talk about new ways to grow food. I thought that was very interesting! And at MGM I think my favorite attraction was the Backstage tour. But I really enjoyed watching the parades, and all of the streetside performances. So much fun! I would LOVE to live down there and work at DisneyWorld! Maybe I’ll apply for a job there and IF I get it then I’d move.

I’m all for advances in technology; I embrace it! But I do have to say that I think it is very rude for people to be involved in text messaging while pretending to have a conversation with someone else. If I am eating dinner with someone at a restaurant, I would be highly offended if that person started text messaging someone else, and I think I would get up from the table and go home! I also think that text messaging while driving is very dangerous and should be illegal!

In a couple of weeks I will be attending a Red Hatter club meeting, where we are all to bring a contribution of a dish prepared from one of the Red Hat Society cookbooks. Yesterday I went over to our “queen’s” house and borrowed her Red Hat Society cookbooks to look through.

I love to browse through cookbooks, and dream of having the time to try so many yummy dishes, and dream of having a family that is willing to try them all! I found several recipes that I would like to try on my own for my family. I’ve invited my younger sis to join us for the Red Hatter event, and emailed her one of the recipes for her to fix and bring. It sounds really yummy and easy to whip up. I hope she comes, and brings it!

This is the recipe I sent her to try:

“Pink Stuff”

From the Red Hat Society cookbook pg 276

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 (12oz) container whipped topping, thawed

1 (20 oz) can cherry pie filling

1 (15 oz) can crushed pineapple, well drained

1 (15 oz) can mandarin oranges, drained

Red food coloring – a few drops, optional

Stir together the condensed milk and whipped topping. Fold in the cherry pie filling. Fold in the pineapple and oranges. If you want a deeper pink color, add a few drops of red food coloring. Refrigerate at least 4 hours prior to serving.

I’m looking forward to the event!

This is one of my favorite art places on the web which has everything an art loving person would want to view. Some of my favorite pieces are some the of timeless classics that date back to the renaissance times and of course even further than that like Da Vinci The Study Of man which is truly a classic and should be seen by every young adult.

When I think of all the millions of people who have seen great paintings over time probably the most seen artist paintings of all time is someone living in our time today, and that is that Artist that does Googles cool logos for different occasions of the year. I will give a cookie to the first person who leaves this artist name in the comments.

Just spoke with my sister on the phone. Her son recently bought a new Play Station 3. He is very impressed with it thus far, after playing only a couple of games. He could only find the system with the 40 GB hard drive but plans on getting another Play Station 3 when the new Socom is released on the system so he and his friends can play games online together.

The controllers are wireless and light weight and don’t require batteries. He bought an extra controller so he could play games with friends. He has been having a blast playing Call of Duty 4 online but he is looking forward to playing some of the other games he bought – Drakes Fortune and Unreal Tournament 3.

When the death of HD was announced he decided to buy a Play Station 3 because in order to compete with the new Play Station 3 the XBOX system now has to either sell a blu-ray add-on to the XBOX system or release a new system with better graphics or more power than the Play Station.
