Chase takes much better iphone pics than I do. See? Like here’s his photo of his meal at Narcoossee’s. mine looks amateur in comparison LOL View from…

    disney trip report part 1

    Well HI (said like the viral cat video) We are obviously back from Disney and I’m still recovering. I had WANTED to post about the trip on Monday (before I forgot everything…) but I was lazy over the weekend and didn’t download our pics. I got my iphone pics downloaded Monday and then had to struggle through individually downloading photopass…

    there’s a great big beautiful tomorrow

    Mondays aren’t so bad when you have an impending Disney trip. I don’t have any new sewing updates on anything even though I said I was going to try to start on Padme — and even though I was off Friday. Instead I became a whole-ass new person over the weekend. I took off Friday for my lash appointment: the…

    and talk about the weather

    I have just 8 more days of work before Disney. In those 8 days I am scrambling to have everything ready for work for me to be ABLE to go out of town without being stressed about it. I blocked off some time one morning this week to focus only on making sure all of the info for my coworkers…

    Disney Projects Updates

    Because I have anxiety brain and making lists of fun things is calming. Chip and Dale: So of course, Dale has been 95% done for ages now. I finally hemmed the top and put the zipper in last month, and finally finished the hat, too. So it’s wearable as is, but I had wanted to do something other accessories for…

    all for freedom & for pleasure

    Well we are over here thawing out after the snow. When I posted Wednesday I talked about how much snow we’d gotten on Monday – well we got WAY MORE on wednesday! It ended up being a record – most snow we’ve had in something like 53 years?? Crazy! The backyard Wednesday night: The cove Thursday morning: So yeah Chase…

    i need a fix

    Hey look I’m posting twice in one week. Because I’ve got disney on the brain and need to dump it all out in a post. So I’m feeling pretty good about our re-re-re-scheduled Disney trip (was May 2020, then Nov 2020, now April 2021) is actually going to happen this time. While I know there’s still going to be restrictions…

    Snap back to reality

    UGH We’re home. Don’t really want to be LOL Because Disney World was fantastic as always. Even though by day 7 we were EXHAUSTED and ready to be home, I still would rather be there of course LMAO. SO! Let’s start at the beginning. Chase and I both took half days off work Friday. I got home and got the…

    it’s a disney hype post

    So I went in to find a pic from the December trip to Disney World Ash and I took…. and discovered Ash had dumped all the photopass photos in my account! Of course I’m currently super hyped for our upcoming trip, so getting to comb thru all these right now is just doubling my hype. Here’s a few highlights. The…

    beautiful pain

    Sooooooooo I hinted at it here and there but didn’t out right tell anybody I was going to Disney World the week before Christmas. Part of it was because it was kind of a sudden decision, and part of it was because I wanted to keep it Ash’s trip! Last week was Ash’s birthday and we celebrated it in the…

    Trip Photos – Round 2

    So I wrote the whole trip report out yesterday but of course I only had iphone photos. Today I have our photopass and Chase’s pics uploaded! So here’s a few. Kevin hadn’t met Mr and Mrs Easter Bunny, and we were able to pretty much walk right up and get a photo with them the first day. Honestly I probably…

    Home again

    We’re home! And I’m sick with a sinus infection AGAIN. I think I’ve come home with a sinus infection from at least 4 of our Orlando trips in the last year. This one is a real bear, it came on Friday night so all day Saturday and Sunday my face HURT. But I’ll get to that later. Let’s start at…

    Disney post

    I got to wondering why I hadn’t heard anything on our magic bands, logged in this morning to see they shipped last week but I never got a notification and neither did Chase. That’s really weird. Thankfully I’d done our customizations ages ago when we booked it, so they didn’t ship out grey and boring. I’m sure other people’s are…

    Disney Wrap-Up 2016

    I thought it would be fun to do a “wrap-up” of all of our Disney trips during our #MouseEarsforaYear experience! As a refresher – we bought annual passes this past year! This was a one time, special thing we did – we planned, we scrimped, we saved to be able to do 6 trips over the course of the year.…

    The Photopass post

    It’s the traditional post-Disney photopass picture post! In front of the Christmas Tree at Magic Kingdom! The photographer told us to throw our hands up and look like we owned the place LOL We like catching photographers in places we hadn’t seen them before – like this one right outside of Big Thunder Mountain. This one cracks me up. Kevin…

    So this trips concludes our #MouseEarsforaYear… our last trip as Annual Passholders (for now — maybe again in a few years??). It’s been really great but honestly I’m so exhausted after this trip (and having 2 so close together) that I’m ready for a few months off LOL CAUTION… there’s some puke in this post so if you don’t like…

End of the night… Kevin and I about to ride our fav! Chase won’t ride it with…

    Disney, Again

    So we finally got to go on our rescheduled October Disney trip! Thursday we left directly after work, drove to Atlanta to spend the night. Our usual overnight hotel in Columbus was booked solid, so we had them move us to one in Atlanta… and it was not great. (When I said “Oh then just move us to one in…

    being a grown-up sucks

    Well right about now we should had been nearing the Florida border on our way to Disney World. We would have left after work yesterday and spent tonight at our first ever Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Yesterday we would have spent at Epcot Food and Wine with my cousins, aunt and uncle, and Saturday we would have gone…
