Everyone knows that I was super excited to go see Red Riding Hood. I love Amanda Siegfried and while I also did love the movie, it wasn't as action packed as the preview showed & I was able to guess who the wolf was from the beginning. :( So, if you're one of those good guessers (like me), I'd probably recommend that you wait til it comes out on DVD.

Residential Security Survey
I don't know how many of you are aware of this service being offered but I figured it doesn't hurt to do it. :) The residential security survey is a free public service offered to all the residents of the City of Yuma.
The City of Yuma website states:
Yuma Police Department's Public Affairs Unit will have an officer come to your home and conduct a Security Survey and Analysis of not only your home but the property and adjacent buildings as well...the Officer will explain the areas that were checked and make suggestions on how to improve those areas needing improvement. The officer will also give the resident a coupon entitling them to a 10% discount on the selected items from The Home Depot hardware store.
Residents who reside outside the City of Yuma are asked to please contact their local law enforcement agency.

YHS on Lockdown
Don't know if you read my tweet on YHS being on lockdown yesterday but I kept following it cuz my little sis was at school when it happened. They were there for hours & I had to keep updating mom & younger sis (who was supposed to go pick baby sis up) while trying to get work done & translating for a poor little old man who needed help on something unrelated to us at work. It was craziness!
Anyway, here's the full news report.

Send No Flowers by Sandra Brown
Alicia is a widow who's playing the role of both parents to her boys. She goes out to a friend's cabin for a family vacation but discovers that the weather has cut off the power to the cabin. With no flashlight she tries to restore the power when she encounters a man in the shadows, Pierce.
At first she's reluctant to let him help her but she has no choice. To protect herself & her boys she tells Pierce that she's married & her husband will join them at any moment but as the weather worsens, she's stuck sharing Pierce's cabin. Her boys love the idea of it & being boys, share the fact that NOBODY is coming to join them. YIKES! Alicia & her boys become attached to Pierce but even though Pierce loves her boys, he makes sure to keep his distance from her because of a secret that could potentially hurt her.
You would think that as romance novels go, it would be an all around happy story but it truly isn't. It was so sad it had me crying! Maybe I'm just a sap but it's still a good read & you won't be dissappointed!
I discovered today though that Send No Flowers is the sequel to Breakfast in Bed which I haven't yet read & am not sure I want to go backwards. :( It seems pretty interesting though so I might just read the beginning of this story. It can't hurt to get the full picture, right? lol

Bones on Netflix, Hangover 2, Red Riding Hood
Have you tried Netflix? What rating would you give it? I'm going to give it a trial run by checking out my sister's but I want to know if it's worth it before I commit to it. lol
The only real reason I'm going to give it a try is because I get to watch all 5 seasons of Bones! I don't know how far I'll get but at least it would get me caught up with the beginning that I never watched. Is anyone else a Bones fan?
Also, did you know The Hangover 2 is in the making? I want to watch! ;) Almost as much as I want to watch Red Riding Hood; looks sooo good! Check out the movie preview below! ;)
Have a wonderful day!

The Monkey
Today is a great day for a joke so here it goes:
The Monkey
A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink, and while he's drinking, the monkey jumps all around the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them, then grabs some sliced limes and eats them, then jumps onto the pool table, grabs one of the billiard balls, sticks it in his mouth, and to everyone's amazement, somehow swallows it whole.
The bartender screams at the guy, "Did you see what your monkey just did?"
The guy says "No, what?"
"He just ate the cue ball off my pool table! He swallowed it whole!"
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the guy, "He eats everything in sight, the little bastard. Sorry. I'll pay for the cue ball and stuff."
He finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for the stuff the monkey ate, then leaves.
Two weeks later he's in the bar again, and has his monkey with him. He Orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He grabs it, sticks it up his ass, pulls it out, and eats it.
Then the monkey finds a peanut, and again sticks it up his ass, pulls it out, and eats it.
The bartender is disgusted. "Did you see what your monkey did now?" he asks.
"No, what?" replies the guy.
"Well, he stuck a maraschino cherry and a peanut up his ass, pulled them out, and ate em!" said the bartender.
"Yeah, that doesn't surprise me," replied the guy. "He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he had to shit out that cue ball, he measures everything first."
