    disney trip report part 2

    Ok this isn’t really trip report but I uploaded Chase’s pics and the pics off the camera last night so here’s some selections from those. Black Widow Grand Flo selfie View from narcoossee’s. 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…

    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…

    I forgot it was monday

    I nearly forgot it was Monday and time to make my weekly post! So last week I took a break from working on Chase’s suit – we’d gotten the fabric ordered and it was scheduled to arrive Wednesday, so I took that time to do something fun before diving back into the horror that is men’s tailoring. First set was…

    Birthday Blog: Disney!!

    Ok so I did this post last, it’s just kind of an extra thing… but I thought I’d be remiss to not include our Disney adventures here, especially since it’s become such a big part of our life in the past couple of years. Buckle in, this is going to be a long post. My first trip to Disney World…

    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…

    One more Disney Trip Report

    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…

    Photopass Photos, plus some website thoughts

    Uploaded my photo pass photos last night! Meeting Jack and Sally: Kevin’s face!! LOL Rose made this which Kevin was in stitches over: Kevin and I in front of Pirates, being Captain Hook Me in front of Haunted Mansion, with a ghost friend! 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…

    Disney Trip Pics, Part 2, & Restaurant Thoughts

    Chase gave me his photos last night! I also wanted to talk a little more about the food, because it is one of my favourite things to talk about. Eating way too much food at ‘Ohana: ‘Ohana thoughts… The food at ‘Ohana was a little bit of a disappointment to me honestly. I mean it was perfectly fine, I guess…

This post consists of my iphone photos and our photopass pics – I haven’t gotten Chase’s photos yet so that will be part 2. SUNDAY! We finished up our audiobook of Deathly Hallows that morning…

    The Disney and the DragonCon

    I haven’t posted much lately… haven’t had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma’s for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I’d do it… I did it)… this time I wasn’t messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got…

    Ren Faire, boredom, and packing

    I’ve never had free time in August. It’s so weird. I was actually bored this weekend because I had no costumes to work on. And we had time to go to the Ren Faire Saturday! Unfortunately we totally picked the wrong day today. We were torn between Sat and Sun based on the weather, but Sat ended up working better…

    Disney Photopass photos!

    Got all of our photopass photos downloaded last night! The Joy & Sadness meet and greet was fun and worth the 40 minute wait. Gotta do one castle shot of course… We met Lilo at Typhoon Lagoon! So exciting! I’d never met Lilo before. They had a photographer stationed at the end of the Crush N’ Gusher who gave us…
