Hey Tustin-ites... I saw this and thought I'd share it with y'all... it's good until August 30th so you could print it out each time you went.
I wonder if it will be a nice theatre with clean bathrooms... like my downtown disney.... what is it with me and that theatre?? :o)

Fun Fun

We saw this movie last weekend at Downtown Disney, which you may know by now is my fav movie theatre.

Loved the movie; totally cute.

I can't remember there being anything inappropriate in it except the two main human characters do kiss, but it's innocent.

It comes out this Friday.... maybe you should go see it at the new theatre opening in the Tustin Legacy area; they're giving out small popcorns to every ticket holder.

You've Got To Read This Book

This one:

wow.

It's not just about Veggie Tales.

It's not just about the fall of Big Idea.

It's an incredible tale about life and lessons learned; suffice to say there were some tears when I finished the book.

Also, just think about how funny Veggie Tales was- Phil Vischer wrote those and he wrote this book- the book is pretty funny.

It's a great, quick summer read- READ IT! :o)

WHAT????

So, I don't know if you've heard, but Trent Lott said the other day:
'Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem'

WHAT??? And this is from a Republican Senator.
This is talk radio, who defended him when he made some stupid comments back in 2002.
Who defends the right to actually have more than one view point in America. (Since all that is spouted from the majority in government as well as the media is liberal nonsense)

And here's this guy, saying this.
One million illegal immigrants marching and protesting are called 'activists'.
One million minorities marching and protesting are called 'activists'.
But 10 million talk-show listeners calling and e-mailing their elected representatives are called 'a problem that needs to be dealt with'.

Where are our brave republican leaders????
Why aren't they screaming about this? Why aren't they yelling about FREE SPEECH? Why aren't they yelling about our current legislation not being enforced? We have great laws on the books; why spin your wheels trying to pass new legislation when there are already measures in place that could deal with the current crisis??

Why would ANYONE believe that you will implement this new legislation when you have ignored the old?

I KNOW the political game has to be played but this is getting beyond the point of no return.
It's a certainty that Republicans cannot win the Presidency in '08 but what about all of the seats?
The RNC and the Republican Party of Orange County, a Board on which I served for many years, is SILENT.

What about our freedom of speech? Especially as legal citizens. Is it wrong for us to voice our disapproval of what is going on?

We have lost the courage of our convictions, not only as a party, but as a nation. The convictions upon which this great nation was founded. We no longer have the back bone to fight for what is right. But, actually, I don't want to say "we".
I want SO badly to stand up and scream. I want to yell until someone hears me.

But that doesn't win elections. So, I'm at a loss. I've wanted, since I was a little girl, to be a public servant of some sort. I fall short though, in so many ways. I'm so imperfect and not nearly as quick witted as many.

I just have to keep giving this one to God. I just love this country SO much it makes my heart hurt.
This is a tough one for me... what are your opinions on what the Senator said?

Dear Miss Miles....

This is a letter my funny little son, Matt wrote to his teacher; it's totally a crack up - you should read it all the way to the end.

"Dear Miss Miles,
I think that there shouldn't be any homework next week because it sucks time out of our afternoons. The afternoons these days are only 32% of our days, the other 68% being sucked up by school. Of course, if you give us homework, the percent of our time to play would be decreased. If that happened, we wouldn't do better in school. Of course, that's obviously bad for the both of us.
Another reason is that kids need their free time. Otherwise, well, they just wouldn't be kids anymore. They'd be more like captured animals. Kids would lose their "let's play" spirit and it would be replaced with a "I'm bored" spirit. We wouldn't play, be happy or find anything fun.
Another reason is because the day would go like this: get up, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, go to school, be at school until 2:15, go home, do homework, go to bed. Did you see any free time in there? I sure didn't. If the homework part was deleted, we would get 5 hours and 30 minutes of play time! I don't see anything wrong with that!
Another reason is that kids would have time to get something nice for his/her teacher. doesn't that sound great? Flowers, candy, fruit and anything you can think of! Awesome, huh? You'll need another desk to keep all of that stuff on!
Look, I know you say homework is important but can't it wait, just for a week? Think it over. You know where I am.
