disney planning
Below you’ll find my blog posts talking about planning our various trips to Disney parks (mostly Walt Disney World). Mostly me trying to figure out where I want to eat.

the heart of 90s guilt
Vacation is imminent. Please ignore the black bits on the floor. Our green luggage is reaching the end of its lifespan and everytime I get it out, more plastic crumbles into dust. I haven’t used this wardrobe back since our honeymoon in 2008. Not a lot to talk about this last week, I did get the Star Wars dress hem…

please stand clear of my vacation
It’s now that time period before a vacation where EVERY SINGLE THING is bothering me. Work is bothering me, people are bothering me, everything is bothering me because it’s all standing in the way of my vacation. I barely have any pics to post this week so I’ll sprinkle in some cat photos. Last week I mostly focused on finishing…

hello strange person
So here’s a fun fact about facebook for you. I’ve been trying to “lessen” my facebook footprint for a while, deleting photos, removing anything personal, and the other day I decided to start removing pages I’ve liked, especially since I “liked” a ton of random cosplay pages back in the day when doing “like for like” things with people in…

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…

easterrrrr
Good grief this weekend was busy. Busiest we’ve been since this whole pandemic craziness started. I bought this bunny years ago at goodwill because I felt sad for him. He’s missing an arm and his hat is messed up. I was gonna fix him this year but didn’t. I’ve left him out to fix one night this week so he’ll…

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…

here we are again
Another week of fresh hell. I’m so tired of this timeline. But in good news my parents are getting their vaccine today and we have our second shot scheduled for this Saturday. Yay, I guess. I mean I’m glad to have it but the doom-loving news just keeps telling us that nothing will ever be back to normal even with…

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…

there is no sign of land
Hey first I have some sewing stuff WOW I finished the lake shrug. Here it is from the front. I think I had the front finished when I posted lat week so if I did, well here it is again. So last week I was struggling with not wanting to cut the excess off the back because I loved how…

this week is a test of patience
Well this weekend was weird. To start off with, last night, I woke up in the middle of the night totally confused. We have a clock in our bedroom that shines the time up onto the ceiling. We haven’t changed it since daylight savings so it’s been an hour behind. I woke up at one point and was like “it…

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…

it is (almost) time
Half hour til I’m out of work for the next week yeeeeeeeeeees!!! Still got errands to run this weekend, and packing to do, and a little more sewing. Need to fix Kevin’s belt and I need to tighten up the yoke to the collar stitching. I realized my tunic is a little long and looked at trying to raise the…

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…

go, and never darken my towels again
I’m breaking this up into sections so I don’t forget everything I need to talk about because my brain is fried. 1. Art I’ve done a few more in my little Star Wars project since last week. Here’s Kylo Ren: whatever Here’s Lando: meh not happy with how his clothes turned out. Heres Ahsoka: Pretty happy with her! I started…

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…

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…

#MouseEarsforaYear – Trip 2!
It’s actually pretty difficult to plan multiple trips at once, but with the way you have to schedule eveeeeeeeryting in advance now it’s unavoidable. I was already planning Trip 2 before we even left for Trip 1, and now that we’re coming up on Trip 2, I have Trips 3 and 4 in motion. You should see how ridiculously long…

The most random post ever
This weekend was CRAZY busy… Well let me start with Thursday. I started pulling out stuff for our trip this week, and decided our one stitch patch on our park bag looked lonely, so I dragged out my patch collection to see what I could do. After some fiddling around with placement and seeing what would fit, I ended up…
