Have you ever been in a tornado? Here’s a first person account how horrifying it is to live through one.  I don’t know if I would have had the presence of mind to record it myself.  The power is out so the visuals aren’t so hot, however, the audio is absolutely chilling.  I found this on YouTube, and from what I can tell, everybody got out of that store okay.  (though the rest of Joplin didn’t fare quite as well).

How do you think you would have reacted? (I have to admit that I am impressed how everybody was caring for one another. However, the frightened kids broke my heart!).

You know we are Handy Manny fans at my house. We decorated Will’s room in a Handy Manny theme (if that doesn’t show dedication, I don’t know what does). That is why I was super excited to learn about the special Handy Manny show this Saturday (it’s on my birthday too!). For those who don’t watch Handy Manny, it was launched in 2006. The Disney’s Emmy-nominated animated series shares the adventures of Manny, a bilingual handyman, and his talking tools. Geared toward preschoolers, the show helps kids learn important lessons like problem solving and working together while introducing them to Latin culture and common Spanish words and phrases.

Well, the show on Saturday may be Handy Manny’s toughest one yet! Guest stars Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Lance Bass join Wilmer Valderrama (the voice of Manny) and the rest of the “Handy Manny” gang as they prepare for the famed Wood Valley 500 race. Manny and the tools team up with Eliot to revamp his used race car, as race time approaches, Elliot’s nerves get the best of him. Famous racecar driver, Chase Davis (Earnhardt, Jr.) and Manny both jump in to help. You can see a sneak preview on YouTube!

I know we’ll be watching this on Saturday!  The really cool thing is that we will be going to see Playhouse Disney Live that day and Handy Manny will be in it.  This show will be a great encore for us!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Playhouse Disney. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Now, I don’t know how long You Tube is going to keep this video up, so make sure you watch it right away.  It is awesome. If you want to hear the whole story, Read the Cnet article about what Warner Music has done. Star Wars fans will love this. Heck, even if you aren’t a Star Wars fan, this is awesome.

I want this husband! This is one of the funniest first dances I have ever seen at a wedding. It even beats the “baby got back” one that we all saw on TV and YouTube.

Let me know what you think. Would you do this at your wedding?

I have often posted on here about the different products that Vat19 has that I just absolutely love. They have everything you could ever need like giant remote controls, instasnow, and remote control forklifts. Watch this video if you want to know what I am talking about:

You can tell that these guys have a warped sense of humor (like me!). You can learn how to operate the forklift and learn how helpful it would be in your home or office. Make sure you watch the video till the end where they blow up food! If you need a unique gift for someone, make sure you check Vat19 out!
