Two more days. Two more days until the world gets a bit more of the Twilight saga material for their addiction. Two more days until I will be rushing to the nearest bookstore to get my own copy to  enhance my Twilight book collection. In two more days the greatly anticipated new Twilight saga book The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner will be released. Stephenie Meyer's new book is tagged as an Eclipse Novella to partner and extend upon the brief character introduced (and destroyed) in her Eclipse novel.

This video of the mommy and baby Jaguar's is from March 5th 2010, filmed at Mesker Zoo in Evansville, IN.  The video does a good job of showing just how close patrons can get to the animals and the ingenuity put into the design of the Jaguar cage.

For our family it has always been the start of the craziest months of the year. My career has been in the retail industry for the past nine years.

It was amazing and spending a whole weekend with my family was a dream come true. It ...
