My hobbies are vast and vary. My attention deficit disorder is way too advanced for me to have lifetime hobbies…
However three interests in my life that have always been… and while the depths at which I immerse myself in them changes with the tide, there has always been an underlying desire to know more… have more… see more… experience more… and feel more…
Those things are:
Disney.
England.
American History.
This is going to be short:
I genuinely feel like I have no “talents”. I was not born being exceptional at anything. There are things that I am “good” at… but those things take effort and I have not devoted enough time to hone those skills.
The End.
TOY STORY 3 opens today and I am THRILLED! Both of the first 2 TOY STORY films are among some of my favorite movies of all time… and TOY STORY 2 is hands down my favorite Pixar film.
There is no person on this planet that I want to see this movie with more than my nephew, Ryan. When he was just a wee little man I would spend the days with him while my brother & sister-in-law were at work. I remember showing him Toy Story and that little guy instantly became Buzz Lightyear’s biggest fan!
I can’t believe that his is eight years old now and that today is his last day of 2nd grade! When I realized that Ryan, his younger sister Tara & I all had half-days today I knew exactly how I wanted to spend my afternoon off… with those kids… at the movies… with Buzz, Woody and the rest of the toys!
“Hello?”, a distracted voice answered.
“Hey, Jay, it’s me. What’s going on?”
“Yeah, hey, uh… nothing.”, the voice on the other end of the phone continued to sound as if whatever was going on directly in front of him was obviously more important than talking to his fiance half way across the country.
“Okay.”, replied Gemma as she stood staring blankly into her own green eyes in the mirror of the over lit hotel bathroom, “Listen, I was just checking my bank statement online, did you use my credit card? The one I keep in the dresser drawer for emergencies, I saw a few charges on there from the day I flew out to New York from the gas station around the corner from us, the pizza place and the video game store.”

My 30 Day Blog Challenge has hit a wall… that wall is called “getting up at 3:30am”.
All week I’ve been covering for the producer of the morning show, while she enjoys time sunning on the beach and reading a book in North Carolina. So, I’ve been working for her from 5:30 to 10am and then 10am until about 1:30 in my normal job. For some reason when I get home I can’t bring myself to do anything but lay in the grass and read a book. I’ve had no desire to look at a computer screen during my free time.
I was just going to do one post with everything I’ve missed, but Day 15 is “Part of a Story” so I’m going to have to post that separately later.
Without further ado…
