Disney Voices.......you've heard them more than once!

Okay, since Caleb just LOVES Disney movies, we see a lot of them. Now I saw them all as a kid, but as I'm starting to watch them again, I've noticed how many voices I've heard on OTHER MOVIES!! It started with Winnie The pooh and from there I couldn't believe how many voice doubles there are. Now ALL of these I noticed myself. Although I did do internet research for pictures and the actor names I promise there isn't a single voice on here that I put on just from looking at all these websites. I noticed all of these voices from watching all these movies with Caleb. Okay, here we go.














#1.Sterling Holloway plays:
-Winnie The Pooh
- Kaa the snake
- The Cheshire Cat













#2.Elanor Audley plays:
-Maleficent
-The Wicked Stepmother
Now this is one that I noticed when mom and I had a "girls night"....(cuz the guys went to a movie and left us at home) and mom bought Sleeping Beauty, so we watched it together.

#3. Verna Felton plays:
-The Fairy Godmother
-Aunt Sarah (from Lady and the Tramp)
-Flora (one of the 3 good fairies)
- The Queen of Hearts

#4. Sebastian Cabot plays:
- Bageera (from Jungle Book)
- The Narrator from Winnie the Pooh
#5. Barbra Luddy plays:
- Kanga
- Lady
- Merryweather (one of the 3 good fairies)

Okay this one I realized while I was in the shower this morning.....no joke!

#6. Jim Cummings plays:
-Pete (from A Goofy Movie)
-Razoul the first Guard from Aladdin

Okay now this one is kinda weird, because I'm sure everyone in the world can figure out that Mr. Smee and The White Rabbit are the same voice, but he does a buncha other voices that you would never be able to figure out just by listening.

#7. Bill Thompson plays:
- Mr. Smee
- The White Rabbit
- Jock (from Lady and the Tramp
- Policeman at the zoo (from Lady and the Tramp)
- Dodo (the dodo bird from Alice in Wonderland)
-The Walrus (from Alice in Wonderland) AND
-Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
AND!
- King Hubert (from Sleeping Beauty....Prince Phillip's father)
#8. Kathryn Beaumont plays:
- Alice
-Wendy Darling
And I'm sure we all knew that Balu the bear from The Jungle Book is also Little John from Robin Hood. But it's also Thomas O'Malley the alley cat from Aristocats.
Finally James Earl Jones (the voice of Darth Vader) is also the voice of king Mufassa from The Lion King.
And lets not forget the revelation from "Cars" the same guy plays:
-Ham from Toy Story and Toy Story 2
- The school of fish from Finding Nemo
- Mack from Cars
- The abominable Snowman from Monsters Inc.
- PT Flea from A Bugs Life
- The Underminer from The Incredibles
Okay that was really fun. Hope you enjoyed it, I know I did!















Short end of the stick.....

Incase you were wondering how the job hunt's been going......I went to that interview last Thursday for a two-day-a-week job in Meridian. The interview went well, and the dentist asked me to schedule a working interview with the front desk. So after it was over, the hygienist was up there, and she said, "well I'll just schedule your interview for when I'm working, cuz we like to be there during working interviews to help you out if you need it." So she put me down for Tuesday at 3:00 pm. Well yesterday I got a phone call, and it was this same office. Only it was a different girl. This was the front office girl and she said, "I know they scheduled your working interview for tomorrow at three, but they did it without me, and we're just too booked. So we don't need you to come in tomorrow. We can't really do anything this week, so just call next week and we'll let you know where we stand." Not being the argumentative type, or the kind of person who thinks of any kind of refute on the spot, I said "okay" and hung up. I sat there and thought about it for like two hours. I was pretty upset, cuz basicly I knew this meant they'd interview all the candidates they have scheduled for this week, they'll pick one of them and when I call next week they'll say, "the position has been filled." Well, after a lot of thought I decided to call them back to see if I could figure out what it meant by "we're just too booked" and see if I could schedule an interview for next week so I don't get swept under the rug. So, after building up all the courage I could muster I dialed the number and waited. Basicly they wouldn't even talk to me. She just said, "Oh, just call us in a week." and every time I tried to explain why I called back they just said, "just call next week." They were quite short with me and once again I hung up disapointed.
So as far as the "she-gets-the-short-end-of-the-stick" department, things are same 'ol same 'ol. However, yesterday when I told Parker about another lost interview, he gave me a number for a dentist in Burley. And I called them up and they're looking for someone to work full-time to fill a maternity leave for one of their hygienists. I have an interview scheduled on Thursday. Phew. As long as there's something in the horizon, I'm not too depressed. Granted it's only a three-month job, but it'll at least give me an opportunity to find something else and make some money (full-time money) while I'm looking. I'll let you know how it goes!

It's BROKEN!!!

Okay, the funniest thing happened today. Parker and I were wrestling with Caleb on our bed today. And we were also scratching Parker's back (cuz he loves it, and Caleb loves to help), and caleb jumped off the bed to get something. While he was on the floor, parker pulled his already pulled-up shirt over his head, so it was just over his head and shoulders. When Caleb got back on the bed, he noticed Parker's head was gone. He kinda looked at it from all angles, and then he looked up and me and said, "It's BROKEN!!!" Parker and I almost died laughing. I'm sure he just meant to say that daddy's head was gone, but when you're two, and you only know so many words, how else do you say it?! Parker was laughing so hard he had tears coming out of his eyes. He's such a funny kid.

Mystery kindness......

Tonight as we were eating dinner, we heard some shuffling around outside. The front porch is under construction, and there's boards everywhere. It's impossible not to trip. We heard someone outside kinda trip on something, but we weren't sure. I know we heard it too, cuz Caleb gasped...."wuzzat?" Then as I was getting Parker another sloppy joe we heard a knock on the door and found this on the porch. HOW NICE WAS THAT?!! I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea who it's from, but if I had one guess I'd say it was Pat. That's right, you're not that tricky.....the smiley faces totally gave you away. PLUS! You might not know what that "feedjit" thing is on my widget column, but basicly it tells me who's hitting my site. It says someone was on Pat's blog, and then went to mine an hour and fifteen minutes ago.....and then again four minutes ago!!! I could be wrong, but thanks whoever you are. That was really nice!

That rainbow I was talking about...


Here's those pictures I promised about the rainbow. They TOTALLY don't even do justice. And remember, the pictures and videos are taken from INSIDE the car while it was still raining.

And of course, the best picture of all is Caleb sleeping in his car-seat. Note his long hair, talk about shaggy! For a view of his haircut, check out Jayne Nelson's blog (linked on my family blog list) cuz she posted some pictures of Caleb after his haircut. He's so adorable when he's sleeping.


You didn't ACTUALLY think I was gonna get the job did you?.....

I got my phone call today as I was driving to interview number TEN (part-time two days a week in Meridian). Someone in Burley got lucky.......of course it wasn't me, why would you even think that?! Great timing too, cuz I got to walk into a job interview with shaky hands and on the verge of tears. cc

Stress headache....

Well, I haven't posted in a while (less than a week, I know....... it's been FOREVER!) for a couple of reasons. We took some awesome pictures of the most beautiful brightest rainbow I've ever seen while we were driving through this hail storm on the way to Burley on Sunday. I don't know how it happened, but somewhere between that drive and packing our stuff from the car to the house I've mis-placed the camera. Actually I blame Parker cuz he had it last, but I AM the one who brought all the stuff in from the car.....but I don't remember grabbing the camera. So anyway I've been stalling, hoping that I'll find it. So far no luck. The other reason I haven't posted is cuz I've been waiting to so the next post could bring down some awesome news. So far no luck with that either.......
let me explain....
Monday I had that eighth interview in Burley. It went awesome! I got there, and this guy (I think he's the office-manager) asked me all kinds of questions. The interview lasted about thirty minutes (one of the longest I've ever been to). Then he asked me if I'd like to go see the new building that the practice is re-locating to next month. So I followed him over there, and he showed me all the new stuff that's going in. It's gonna be pretty nice. Then he had me go to lunch with him and the other two dentists I'd be working for. (they crammed all this interview meeting stuff together cuz they knew I came from out of town). Since we had SO MUCH TIME to literally discuss EVERYTHING, I feel like it went especially well cuz I got to ask all my questions (that you never think of at the time....but always later) and they answered all of mine. At lunch each of the dentists had a copy of my resume and asked me questions about what was on it, like "tell me about your experience in Fort Hall"..... or...."tell me about your research project on the multimedia patient education systems"......or....."tell me about what you did for 'give kids a smile' we do that here too!" and so on. So it was really awesome. I also think that they liked how open my schedule was, and that I wanted to work full-time. Anyway, when it was all over he said "I'll probably call and let you know tomorrow.....Wednesday the latest." He said there were two other people they were looking at.

Yesterday I was yoked to my phone. I just knew they were gonna call. Also yesterday I did interview NUMBER NINE! Over the phone for a full-time position in Lehi, Utah. Crazy I know, I don't REALLY wanna move down there, but I guess if it means a job! The phone interview went really well too, it was weird cuz she asked me questions like, "what is periodontal disease?" and I had to stop and think, "did she really just ask me that?" I mean......nine interviews and I've never heard that one. Luckily Nina ENGRAVED that one into my brain and I'm pretty sure I gave the exact textbook answer. Anyway, the practice sounds awesome and I'd love to work there. It's just so far! And I'd have to get a license in Utah (and figure out exactly how to go about doing that). Not to mention that average rent in Lehi is about 800 dollars a month, and the average mortgage is over 200,000 dollars! YIKES! Expensive living! But I told them that I was waiting to hear about a job here at home, and the second I knew I'd give them a call and set up a time to maybe drive down there and spend a day there doing a working interview. (If I don't get the job up here of course). And so it's been a WAITING GAME and I'm sick of it. And I literally mean sick. After they didn't call yesterday I was sure I'd hear something today. "Wednesday the latest".....that's TODAY! And the clock ticked on, and nobody called me. It seems that NOTHING, no mater how great it sounds, no matter how great I think my chances are, seems to work out like I think it will. Today the pressure just kept building and building and the anticipation was killing me. And the longer I waited, the more I'm thinking they must have gone with someone else. Why else would it take so long? They've probably already decided and told the lucky girl and were too lazy to tell the ones that lost out, and so I'm gonna have to call THEM and hear the run-around "Oh, we decided to go with someone else"......like I haven't heard THAT one before! I could write a BOOK on all the ways to be told you didn't get a job........including getting the job and then having them change their minds. Augh! I can't stand the waiting. And the stress just gets worse. This is WAY worse than school. There's still a chance of good news, but it's been so long......who knows what I'm gonna hear. They'd better call me tomorrow.
Oh P.S. I gave Caleb a haircut two days ago. He's a little spike-head again. I really don't like his hair short.....but it's just so outa control when it's long and he gets a pretty silly-looking mullet when it gets long. So I butched it. I call him "butch" too, cuz he looks like a little soldier....standing straight up. He's still cute of course. Sorry no pictures, I REALLY don't know where the camera is.
