Charlie bit me

This is a YouTube video that my sisters & mom pointed out a while back. I found it hilarious and still get a kick out of it when I watch. (Sorry that I can’t embed the video. Just click on the link below and it will take you to the video.)

A Hog’s Life

Tara — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:00:55 +0000

I spent several hours at my parents’ house today to break up some of the 24 hours. While there, I read a magazine they had sitting around. The cover story was about the Unversity of Arkansas’ live mascot – Tusk II. It talks about the farmer/farm that takes care of him and also describes Tusk’s football game week agenda.

“Here’s the thing about Tusk, Mr. King, Mr. Royalty, Mr. Special Treatment. When he eats watermelon, he won’t eat the rind. You have to hold it, and he eats the heart, the red, and he’s through. Then, you pick up another piece of watermelon, and he eats that.

“His brothers, you just throw it in and they scarf it down. Him, he’s special.”

I think this pig lives better than most of us.

Day of Blogs Update 2

Tara — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 09:30:23 +0000

Well, I officially have 3.5 hours left in this day of blogs. Time really has flown faster than I was thinking it would mid-day Saturday. So far I have gotten 2 donations for a total of $60. I’d love to be able to get just a few more dollars before I stop. Whether or not I do, I know that the money I raise is going for a great cause. I’m already planning on participating in 2009. I’m going to make sure I start earlier next year advertising and gathering pledges/donations.

Switching Jobs?

Tara — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 09:00:06 +0000

If I could have any job, what would it be?

I’d love to be a chef. My favorite thing to do is cook. I love making up recipes or modifying existing ones. I love using “fancy” ingredients and trying out the techniques the chef’s use on the Food Network.

Have I ever broken a bone?

Tara — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 08:30:30 +0000

Have I ever broken a bone?

Yes. I have broken 1 bone. I was in 11th grade. My high school PE class was softball/bowling. We were in the bowling portion of the class but it was raining too much to play softball outside. Because of that, we were playing wiffle ball in the gym. I was running the bases and got tripped by the 3rd baseman. I went down and ended up with a broken ankle.

Mamma Mia!

Tara — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 08:00:00 +0000

The last movie I saw in the movie theatre was Mamma Mia!. I saw it last weekend with Shelby & Lindsey. I knew the musical was based around the music of Abba but not much else beyond that. I must say the soundtrack was great. I’ve had Mamma Mia! and Dancing Queen in my head all week. I enjoyed the movie. Meryl Streep did a great job in her role. Pierce Brosnan was good in his leading man role. However, he really doesn’t need to sing sappy love songs. It just looked too corny. Other than that, I recommend the movie. It’s definitely a good movie to see with the girls.
