We'll admit it: we love Disney movies. As adults, with no children, we have a questionably large collection of the movies. Last night we got excited that The Little Mermaid is going to be released in just ONE YEAR.
For several weeks now, we have had good intentions to purchase Cinderella, which has escaped the Disney vaults for just a short span of time. We don't want to miss out on that, do we?? No. And last night, Roger brought home the little golden nugget of goodness, promptly popped it in the DVD, and it played for a solid 45 minutes before we realized it was time to go to bed.
And still today, I have this song stuck in my mind:
We can do it, we can do it
We can help our Cinderelly
We can make her dress so pretty
Inside the DVD was an offer for a chance to win!! I love
chances to
win!! It doesn't matter what I'm winning, it's just the important fact that I HAVE WON!!! Except, I never do win, unless you count the increasing bundles of junk mail delivered to me each week.
We all know the grand prize is something wonderful, something like a trip to Disney World. I don't think that anyone really wins those, though. Perhaps I'll start visiting the grand prize websites and finding the lists of the "winners" and then hunting them down to verify whether or not they actually won. I can be scary that way.
When Roger and I looked at the prizes that we were only somewhat more likely to win, since the chances are 1:5,689,342 instead of 1:9,301,618 for the grand prize, I thought, "How exciting! A Cinderella TV and CD Jewelry Box!" Can you imagine this in our bedroom? So snazzy!
Or, the joy! A Cinderella Magical Talking Vanity! I can put my makeup on every morning at this vanity, AND, it's magical! So magical! With the batteries! I don't recall Cinderella having a magical talking vanity; and for that matter, I don't remember her having a pink television and CD player. Perhaps I should watch the DVD again. I'm sure they're hidden in there somewhere.
In his interest, I suppose it is only fair that I tell you that Roger counter-balanced purchasing such a girly movie with another purchase. The Terminator. Two. Because, "it's a classic."
