    Back from Disney (Again!)

    We had a super short 4th of July trip to Disney over the weekend! I didn’t take a ton of photos on my phone — we forget the power brick for recharging, so I was trying to save power, especially on Monday when we were at Magic Kingdom all day from 8am to midnight! And Sunday when we did Typhoon…

    Halloween Party Planning

    Chase & I bought our Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets yesterday… ya’ll don’t understand, I have wanted to go to this for AGES but with it falling right after Dragon Con every year, it was just a no-go, money-wise and vacation-time wise. Since we’re severely cutting back on Dcon this year, we are finally going to be able…

    I’ve gotten my portfolio updated — I added Disneybound Leia and Edith! And I got Chase’s photos uploaded! Brainfreeze: Me & Kev Me and Kev Part 2 Walking thru Hollywood Studios Oddly enough, this is now the 2nd photo we have of Kevin being menaced by a blow-up Stay Puft Marshmellow Man. This Guardian of the Galaxy group was one…

    Disney Trip w/Kevin – Part 2, plus Megacon!

    Saturday morning I was up and getting in costume, while Chase got Kevin into his Luke costume. Thankfully, Edith was easy to get into. Like I (think I) mentioned the other day, I decided to forego the wound prosthetics, which made getting ready much faster. We got to the convention center early, and….. parked in the wrong parking lot. We…

    Disney Trip w/Kevin – Part 1!!

    Wednesday after work, Kev and I started loading the car waiting on Chase to get home. It was raining which didn’t make it an easy job! Kevin thought we were just going to the convention. He had noooo clue. Nana & Kristie got him a Stefon shirt for the trip! That night we stopped in Columbus, GA for a quick…

    #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…

    More Disney Photos!

    Last night I got our Photopass pictures downloaded, as well as what was on our little digital camera. (Turns out there was only like, 6 photos on the digital camera and 4 of them were repeats of our photopass photos… LOL) Me & Jake: Yes, I stood in line by myself, a grown woman who has never even watched this…

    Back from Disney!

    This trip was a whirlwind. The shortest trip we’ve ever done (yet) it was a big experiment for us. This was our first time only doing 3 (technically 2 1/2) days, our first time in a long time NOT doing the dining plan, and our first time driving straight through the first day. Let’s see how those experiments turned out……

    DISNEY!

    Our trip has really sneaked up on us. I guess because I’ve been so busy. Just suddenly last week I realized we are 3 weeks out from our first trip of the year! We got our magic bands week before last… (Also, my Leia and Chewie tsumtsums!) We are trying to get some of the magic band colours we don’t…

    #MouseEarsforaYear

    So I’ve already been doing some Disney plannings for our trips next year. Mostly just looking at dates, and making some dining reservations! We are doing a short solo trip early next year; for that trip I’ve booked… 1. Be Our Guest – breakfast! We’ve eaten here for lunch and dinner, but breakfast started right before or right after our…

    Disney trivia!

    We went to 90s Disney trivia at rec room last night at Rec Room. I’d never been there nor done any kind of trivia! My friend Lauren had rented out a living room space for us, so in between rounds we got to sit around and play mario kart and super smash brothers on the giant screen. It was awesome.…

    a little mystery

    I’m posting a lot today. I was digging through old hard-drives trying to find some missing pictures last night when I came across some pics of a project that did not get finished. I’m sharing it today with Chase’s permission. Back in 2012 when I was making my newer Belle ballgown, you can find mentions and photos of the new…

    Diiiiisney Wooooooooorld

    We are home from vacation! Unfortunately I came home with a nasty little cold. I stayed home from work yesterday and, though I came in this morning, I’m probably going home at lunch. Honestly I don’t think I’ve had a cold like this in years! I was worried this morning I had pinkeye but now pretty sure it’s not, just…

    Sorry

    Sorry to anybody digging through my blog lately. For one thing, I know it’s a mess because I haven’t kept up with tags. Secondly, I must seem like a crazy person with my crazy happy Disney posts followed by my crazy sad Indy posts. That’s just my life right now. I’ve gone through and hidden a lot of my sad…
