We got some snow over the weekend…though it isn’t “good” snow… ie you can’t make a snowball much less a snowman… We got quite a bit of it and we are also expecting more tomorrow. Just wanted to share a few pictures!
Some of you may know…I LURV The Last Airbender. If you don’t know what it is, I will give you a rundown.
Once upon a time there was a world divided into different peoples. The Fire nation, the Earth Kindom, The Water Tribes and the Air Nomads. In these nations there were people would could manipulate the elements called Benders. The Fire Nation had Firebenders, Water Tribes had Waterbenders, Earth Kingdom Earthbenders, and The Air Nomads Airbenders.
However, there is always one person that can control ALL 4 elements. This person is called the Avatar. He or she is a peacekeeper between the nations. When one Avatar dies, another is born.
One day the Fire Nation decided to attack the Air Nomads and the rest of the world. In doing so they destroyed all the airbenders but one. The Avatar, the one who was meant to keep peace between the four nations, vanished.
For 100 years the Fire nation proceeded to attack and attempt to destroy the other two nations. Then a brother and sister from the Water Tribe came upon an iceburg with a strange boy inside named Aang. Aang is the last Airbender…and the Avatar.
I won’t get into the story…but let’s just say that Aang has his work cut out for him trying to stop the Fire Nation and bring peace back to the world. It started as a cartoon on Nick and now as a live action movie. Here is the link to the Superbowl trailer: The Last Airbender Superbowl Slot
If you look real close in one of the scenes…you can see Appa…Aang’s flying bison! Here is who you should look for…
Appa
Appa
Yes, I have a giant stuffed Appa. Got a problem with it?
Anyway, I am so psyched to see this movie!! Whoot! Of course, we might be on vaca then so I will have to check out the theaters there and see where it will be playing… AND They do have the cartoon on Netflix…get your butts over and watch it instantly.
Ok…enough rambling…carry on.
As anyone that knows me…sometimes I can have (and remember) some really bizarre dreams. Here are two that I remember from last night/this morning.
Dream 1
I was at my dad’s house but it wasn’t my dad’s…you know what I am talking about. Actually there were a bunch of trailers people were living out of in the yard and one little house out in the boonies where my dad really does live. Anyway.
I was in a trailer talking to some of the people there and they were talking about being afraid to go outside because of some serial murderer in the woods. Then they said that news reports later said it was a tiger, but they didn’t buy it. I look out the window and lo and behold there was a tiger chawing on something in the creek.
So I think…I need to get my camera! I go in the house and get my camera, turn around and the tiger is right there in the door. At this point I am thinking I am Tiger Chow and that I need to take pictures before it starts to eat me so they know it was a tiger that ate me. I can even see in my mind’s eye the pictures that would be taken…it coming at me with mouth agape and claws extended…
THEN I think that maybe the flash might scare it of and I slowly turn the dial to flash and take a few pictures. It works, the tiger runs off..but not too far before my dad and a few other mens in overalls shoot the thing.
I get really sad that they had to kill the tiger and I start lamenting how we are destroying it’s habitat and that is why it started to come around people. I say that this didn’t HAVE to happen. Please remember this is a DREAM so the fact that there are no native tigers in TN is irrelevant.
I go back in the house and I see two little tiger cubs in there that someone had found. People are saying to kill them and I start saying NOOOO! You need to call animal control and they will relocate them or send them to a Zoo or something. Then I pick one up and play with it and I start to cry because (not sure if anyone knew this) I have always loved tigers since I was a little girl and it was a dream come true (har har) to be able to play with one. I even think there was some kind of music playing like what you see on TV…
After that the dream got weird and I woke up when Babyhead hopped in the bed.
Dream 2
After I went back to sleep I had a dream where I was in TN at the High School with a bunch of people I went to school with. I really don’t know who they were only that we went to school together except for Mike C. …he was there but not sure why I recognized him and not others. Anyway, I suggest we go to the bar across the street (is there a bar across from the school now? LOL) and everyone agrees that would be good as we could have a few drinks and eat and all that stuff.
Usual dream stuff ensue that I can’t really explain because it was weird…but it did involve a grill made out of a couch…and then we all went back to Mike’s house to hang out. It started to rain and the sky got really really dark. The clouds were all red looking and literally looked like pulsing blood vessels. One even looked like a pulsing heart. I ask what I *think* is supposed to be Mike’s mom if there were tornado reports and she said no…but everyone was out looking at the sky because it was so weird.
At some point DH calls and says he is on his way over but he is a little lost. Mike gives him better directions to the house and I go to the end of the street to meet him. He was unable to actually drive to the house so he had to park at the end of the road…I am unsure why.
So I take him back down the street to introduce him to everyone and all of a sudden everyone was turned into giant people sized lizards!!! They weren’t really coming after us but they kept coming up to us. I got a folding table…unfolded the legs and used it as a kind of shield to push the lizards out of the way.
While we were trying to get away from the lizards a girl walks past us that was obviously turning into a lizard complaining that someone had to give her a hug and now how her tongue was like string cheese (I took that to mean long like a lizards). DH and I were standing on the sidewalk soaking wet from the rain and I kept asking him WTF are we going to do now…and then I woke up.
So…top that.
It's an Insane World Out There is written by a Stay at Home Mom with too much time on her hands. Sometimes she comes up with witty things to write, but most of the time it is mundane stories of every day life. Try to cut her some slack...she has very little adult conversation during the day.
