About a month ago I bought this cute little bird feeder and hung it in my back yard. I realized that the bird food would go really fast....I mean surprisingly fast. I didn't think much of it and thought, ok we have hungry birds in this neighborhood. One day while doing the dishes, I saw what was making that food disappear so fast. I saw a dang squirrel hanging upside down digging in with both of it's little hands and going to town! It was the funniest thing to watch. When I told Pablo and Ernie about what I saw, they totally dismissed it and said it probably didn't happen. I was like, whatever....I knew what I saw! Well, today when Pablo got home from class, he said he had some picture's he wanted to share with me. This is what he saw this afternoon... I will call him Fred.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Here we see Fred innocently sitting on top of a bird feeder.... totally harmless.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YGrNQKzziX4/SEDgMAZ-MgI/AAAAAAAAABM/rxyWfbLDlJE/s1600-h/DSC_0031.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YGrNQKzziX4/SEDgMAZ-MgI/AAAAAAAAABM/rxyWfbLDlJE/s320/DSC_0031.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206407666112279042" /></a><br /><br /><div>Here we see the temptation is too much to bear... just a little touch!</div><div><br /></div><div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YGrNQKzziX4/SEDhDAZ-MhI/AAAAAAAAABU/Ad-GGowl5lU/s1600-h/DSC_0032.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YGrNQKzziX4/SEDhDAZ-MhI/AAAAAAAAABU/Ad-GGowl5lU/s320/DSC_0032.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206408611005084178" style="cursor: pointer; " /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Next we see Fred not being able to handle the temptation and he succumbs... not to mention risking his dear squirrel life!</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YGrNQKzziX4/SEDivgZ-MiI/AAAAAAAAABc/9AsHkkHMcO8/s1600-h/DSC_0039_2.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_YGrNQKzziX4/SEDivgZ-MiI/AAAAAAAAABc/9AsHkkHMcO8/s320/DSC_0039_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5206410475020890658" style="cursor: pointer; " /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Even though Fred took a brief rest (I am sure his poor little back was killing him from the acrobatic position) he never took his eyes off the food!

I know everyone always says "this is my first time" ..... you know it's really just a disclaimer saying "please don't laugh if I totally suck at this"....but if you do laugh, it's cool! So as a "first" I thought I would talk a little about what I love. Music. Last night after watching AI (for those you you nerds who don't know what this is you should move on to someone else's blog) and my brother and I apparently did not have enough so we went on youtube to catch some more performances. Ok, brief note...youtube should totally have a warning on it because it is so uncontrollably addictive! Anyway, watching a bunch of performances we came across an old live performance of Mariah Carey, the best singer of all time in my opinion(minus the stuff she's been doing lately), singing Without You. Now this is real music to my ears. Enjoy...<div><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vOR_jq9M53c&amp;hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vOR_jq9M53c&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></object></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2468017849134217186-1990435926537007850?l=iristuningin.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Irishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06749625280281919398noreply@blogger.com3
