An Animated Hungry Caterpillar

I’m not sure how many of you grew up reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle but I know I loved it when I was a kid. Not so much for the words but for the beautiful illustrations. I found this on YouTube today:

New Laptop/ Neat Blog

Not much to say today. We got our laptop with it’s super-nifty stuff like the plasma screen (I’m pretty sure that’s what Darren called it, anywho it makes everyone’s blogs look so pretty when I come visit you!) and the fingerprint scanner (instead of passwords) and all kinds of things! I still won’t let Darren play with it that much lol but it’s nice to be able to sit beside him as he watches FRIENDS (we have all the seasons and he watches them over and over, although I loved them at the time I saw them, once was enough for me) and listen to music or watch videos. Which reminds me, I recently stumbled across this blog called Living Read Girl that I really like. Go check it out, you won't be sorry!

Look! Look! Look!

Disney to offer free movies online

Disney will stream full-length movies on its Web site for the first time, as part of its “Wonderful World of Disney” series on ABC, says The Hollywood Reporter. The films are scheduled to stream through August. Finding Nemo is available at Disney.com/WWoD through Friday. Monsters, Inc., Haunted Mansion, and Peter Pan also will be available on the site this summer. The movies will be on Disney.com from Monday through Friday after their ABC broadcast the preceding Saturday night as “Wonderful World of Disney” presentations. Peter Pan will be the last movie to stream, ending its run August 8.

I've already watched a little of Finding Nemo. All I can say is it's about time!
