How you can tell a Giraffe likes you...

I went to the Santa Barbara Zoo for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful a zoo can be! Perhaps that is what separates a "Botanical Zoo" from a "normal Zoo".

Anyway, one of the most amazing spectacles was at the Giraffe Feeding station. But I can't describe what I witnessed as well as just showing you...



If the line to feed the giraffes was not so long, I would have ventured in to see if Mr. Giraffe liked me too! :)

Sondebar!

As i'm going through a mad dash to find wedding ideas... I can't help but to run into some strange & fascinating websites.


Atelier Site

I can only guess this site is German...

Basically, if you flip through this website, you'll see uncommon uses for common household items.

What? Rain? Amazing...

So after a wave of 90 degree weather in Los Angeles... it seems bizarre that a few days later we see strange water drops falling from the sky...

Depending on when you are reading this... the above picture may now be sunny and dry like it usually is... :) (This pic automatically updates... how cool is that.)

Mr. Monkey Charm to the rescue...

This message was sent originally from my phone.... but edited because the picture didn't show up! (so i've added it manually above.)

So this is an authentic good luck charm for Snake folks like me. It is supposed to combat the negative energy that my sign has for 2007. Think it will work? So far so good i guess... :)

Friends with Ears...

I've got quite a few friends now that work for Mickey Mouse. Over the years, the amount of coworkers hopping the fence has grown exponentially.

Knowing that I've been a big fan of the park and the cartoons most of my childhood and adult life - it's funny that I haven't found myself working there yet. But perhaps it's better that way - so that my personal vision of this "Happiest Place on Earth" company will never tarnish. :)

Sonya was so awesome to ask if I was interested in going this weekend (as one of her free guests!) and we expanded the group to Niki and another new club member, Shana. Despite it being overcrowded for a non-holiday weekend, we had a LOT of fun and it serves as a reminder of why I may never be able to move out of L.A. :)

As you can tell, i didn't even realize we were at the 'Take A Picture' portion of this ride:


Paris Hilton, watch out! Shana also gained a not so secret admirer that joined the picture too:

I'm shocked at the current prices to enter the park though - and I'm more shocked that these admission prices aren't minimizing the crowds. Are all these other people also employees coming in for their free days?
