Just as I thought...

I knew it. I knew I'd start a blog then get too busy to keep up with it. Argh.

Anyway, a gripe for today (or really for last week or so): I didn't realize that when I saved a draft of a post, the date for the blog was automatically set for the day I saved the draft, rather than the day I actually published. So my last entry about seeing the circus didn't really make sense, since the blog says I published it on Saturday, but really I published it on Monday. The Steelers game I was talking about was on Sunday during the 5pm circus performance. Not that anyone reading this really cares, but it's my gripe.

So, after circus weekend, the following weekend was a convention in Orlando for my husband, to which I tagged along. I have several friends in Orlando and some of them work at Disney. So, lucky for us, we got into the parks for free one day. We went to Animal Kingdom, which we'd never been to. Boy, it was just WONDERFUL! The habitats for the animals are beautiful and really huge and the animals all look great. There's one safari ride which takes you through their African animal exhibit. There are beautiful African elephants and there was a baby. Also, there are white rhinos and there was a baby right at the edge of the road that our safari truck drove on. It was absolutely beautiful. Then, of course, Disney had to follow their ridiculous ride formula and we had to go "catch the poachers" in our safari truck. Silly. But the first part of the drive through the actual animal areas was worth sitting through the stupid animatronic baby elephant in the back of a truck that had been "saved from the poachers." Anyway, I wouldn't mind working there....

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
