... where the woman is spraying some sort of plant food or fertilizer on her yard, and all the dead wilted flowers start coming back to life and vines are growing like crazy, then this little dog pops out of the ground with a 'woof' and the little girl goes (very dramatically), "Scruffy, you're ALIVE!"
That just cracks me up.

Yes, saw it once and it creeped me out some.
But, my sense of humor can be off kilter at times and I'm also unusually sensitive to things everyone else finds hilarious.

Its actually a preview for an animated kid's movie. I forget what its called, but its something about a house that is alive and tries to get some kids. The house had just yelled at them and it shows the little boy and girl cowering in fright, and the girl says in awe, "That must be its uvula!" And the little boy says, "You mean its a girl house?"

I'm very happy with my job. It has truly been an opportunity of a lifetime. Yesterday I attended a training class, it was very informative. They're good about that sort of thing. You can take classes on all kinds of things, specific software: dealing with difficult people, how to write professional emails, ect. My class was about the retail business and the company itself. Its weird, when I became a graphic artist I thought my career in retail was behind me. I never disliked retail, it just didn't pay enough to live off of. But now here I am again, it like I've come full circle. It just goes to show, you never know where life's going to lead you. Who would have thought those jobs at the mall would actually come in handy one day!
I also finally went to a Yoga class on Monday (my job has a fitness center and you can take classes for $20 a month.) I found out they have a Pilates class starting on Wednesday that I would really like to start going to. I've got to do something to get in shape. It seems like all I see all day long are these pencil thin beautiful young girls walking around in those pointy toed high heeled shoes that I can't wear because I would fall down. Or there's all the insanely skinny naked mannequins sitting around everywhere. Even when I was anorexic I wasn't that skinny. I guess all that gets me down sometimes. Not that I want to look like that, I'd be happy with a nice healthy size 12. I just don't want to be overweight anymore (I'm a 16 now).
I also can't wait until I can afford some new work clothes. Everyone is very fasionable out there. Not that I'm a bag lady or anything, I just feel very ordinary sometimes. At least I get a discount! I already have several shirts, pants and pairs of shoes all picked out for when I can afford to spend money on clothes. I know this all sounds like I'm being very looks obsessed, but I guess I just want to feel good about myself. I know I don't want to be a carbon copy of these chics, in fact, it kind of makes me laugh how alike they are. I just want to be able to hold my own. Does that make sense? I've always been such a hippy chic that these feelings make me feel like a hypocrite. But then its pretty typical for me to feel guilty about what is probably very common place feelings. What was it Larry told me - I'm very happy with my job. It has truly been an opportunity of a lifetime. Yesterday I attended a training class, it was very informative.

It sounds like you're working for a really good company, TC. I once had a job with similar benefits (discount, health facility, skills trianing programmes) and I was happy to make the most of it. I learned a lot that I was able to take with me on to the other gazillion jobs I've had, lol....
I'm getting alot out of my yoga lessons; it helps with anxiety and even self esteem, if you count being able to stand on one foot without falling over a personal achievement to be proud of!
Glad to see you're so busy being happy :-)
