more random updates, these more of a happy nature
Found a little baby turtle while taking the dogs for a walk last night. I think it was a box turtle, as the only other kind of turtle I know of around here is the snapping turtle and this guy definitely wasn't a snapper. He was so small he fit in the palm of my hand. So cute. He might be the smallest turtle I've ever seen. My mom wanted to take him home and make him a pet during a moment of partial sanity loss. Then we saw a bat. I really like bats.
Tonight I sat down & watched The Lion King. Something I've been wanting to do all summer, but was really in the mood tonight. God is it beautiful. It has had a huge impact on my life and its release was a seminal moment in my childhood for many reasons. It still has a huge impact on my religious views and leanings, and so it was fun to watch it now, and see. It went by pretty fast (its probably only 80 minutes, but still). It just seemed like I sat down and watched the glorious opening that chokes me up a bit when the credits started rolling. Sigh.
Tomorrow my little girls return to Mary Louise. Double sigh. I will miss them, but they do need to get back to their other mom. I'll see them again in a couple months hopefully. Because I will be sad about this, I resolve to make myself go out and do things with people. So, faithinthejudas,
gr8t_gatsby, penguinbob,
theo_winterwood and whoever else reads my LJ that might be in the vicinity, hit me up.
Edit: Oh man, the Lion King VHS had an ad for Pocahontas on it, so it will be DAYS before I get Colors of the Wind out of my head.
And guess who found a super beat up VHS copy of The Land Before Time? And cried when Littlefoot's mother died (again)? At age 21? Oh yeah, I'm cool.
