Rebecca has a craving for pizza. Even more so than usual.

I had a dream the other night that I was watching a movie with Shirley Temple and Peggy Ann Garner, when they were both about twelve. Shirley played a girl whose family moves into a haunted house, and Peggy Ann played the ghost of a murdered girl. (What an odd combination – two of the last young actresses you'd ever expect to do horror.) That summary makes it sound awful, I know, but in my dream, it was incredibly creepy and gothic movie, and now I'm damn disappointed it doesn't actually exist. This is not the first time I've had this problem.

After years of using Aim toothpaste exclusively, I recently bought a tube of Colgate, and now Aim doesn't make my mouth feel clean anymore. I've tried to go back to it, but lately whenever I use Aim, I have to brush my teeth a second time with Colgate because my mouth still feels dirty. For some reason, I am rather annoyed by this. Wow, Rebecca is posting about toothpaste. When did this LJ get so boring?

At the request of relatives, I have made a list of things I want for my upcoming birthday. This is all I could come up with for now, but I'll add on to it if more comes to mind.

• Black socks. To wear to work.
• A dust-buster. A good one. And if you can, please also buy me the will to use it reguarly once I've got it.
• 2G SD Cards. Nothing bigger than 2G, please – my camera can't support that. These start at $8 at my store and can probably be found cheaper elsewhere.
• Movies: The Secret Garden (1949). I've never seen it – although I did do a comparison video as part of my Secret Garden series – but I love the 1993 version to death, so I can't imagine I won't like this one too.
• Books: Plain Beautiful: The Life of Peggy Ann Garner, by Sandra Grabman; Little Girl Lost: A Child Star's Descent into Addiction and Out Again, by Drew Barrymore; Choosing a Jewish Life: A Handbook for Converting to Judaism, by Anita Diamant.
• Donations of any amount are welcome to a very charitable cause, The Change Rebecca's Name Fund.
• Note: If you would like to buy Rebecca Mockingjay, please check with Sara first to make sure she has not already bought a copy. Both of us having our own would be pointless.

Holy Long John Silver, Batman! As of today, only ONE ... WEEK ... LEFT until Season 8 of NCIS! Of course, with my luck, I'll probably have to work that evening, since I foolishly didn't request off for it.

I am a Colgate gal myself :)

Ally and I are thinking of officially changing our last names to a hyphenated version of both of our last names. How much is it anyway?

I'm buying you Naming a Jewish Child and Eating Jewish Sour Gummis. Two of Anita Diamant's less-known books. Oh, and a new belt made of the dark one's hair. Bwahahahahah!

aunt connie here, toothpaste is a very important topic, I had to stop using toothpaste a few years ago because they made them so pepperminty that my mouth would break out and my lips would get all swollen. I had to use baking soda, but I found Tom's toothpaste that is all natural and doens't have sorbital in it, that is what causes toothpaste to foam up and It Is So MUch Fun to brush my teeth again, I can brush for hours now!!!! Thanks for the birthday list. We are well here, fixing to put in new floors and so of course my crazy husband says we HAVE to paint the walls before we change out the floors. Oh Lordy I am going to be tired. all for now, lots of love.
