boy oh boy
Do I have a lot to post about today! Well back over the summer I decided I did not want to be home for Thanksgiving. I looked around for cities that we could road trip to that we hadn’t done before, and decided Asheville NC fit the ticket. My parents decided to come with us too! So we booked an…

The New York Post
Get it? The New York Post? Haha Sorry I didn’t post last week; didn’t have much to say and we were busy getting ready to leave — but I will make a separate post of updates after this one, just to have the vacation content separate from everything else. So let’s start with Wednesday! We went out to my parents’…

new york, new york
We are BACK from vacation. Chase said today he didn’t feel like he usually does when we get home from disney, like he needs a “vacation from his vacation” but I sure do. I’m exhausted, my legs are sore, and my face is chapped from walking around in the cold. And I’m stressed but that’s a story for another day.…

post-vacation ennui
We’re home after an amazing long weekend getaway with the family. Wednesday night I finished up packing – was told to bring our D&D stuff, so I needed an extra bag for it – what better than the bag my parents used for the D&D stuff in the 80s? Then thursday morning it was off to Hot Springs! We headed…

looks like somebody has a case of the mondays
Good grief I can’t remember what I posted last week except that sad dog, I’m going to have to go back and look to see where I left off…. Ok. Now I’m on track. Last week I said I was going to dye that silk on thursday well I did it Monday night. I put both my excess fabric (meant…

all the things
I’ve basically got 2 weeks worth of stuff to post today. So hold onto your butts, it’s going to be a long post! Let’s separate this into topics. 1. Las Vegas So last week was Vegas for work. I didn’t think I was going to have to do this show again but it got pulled together kinda at the last…

what a drag it is getting old
Last week was Las Vegas for work. It was exhausting. I didn’t take just a ton of pictures this year because it was all pretty much the same. Here’s the view from my window: I ended up having Lobster Bisque at all 3 client dinner meetings we went to in the evenings. I ranked them all at the end. Dinner…

Disney World Trip Report/Photos Part 1
To continue from my previous Dragon Con post — we got up Sunday morning at 6 AM and started the drive down into Orlando! YAY! 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…

Last round of Photos!
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 stuffffff
I am ensconced in Disney On Friday, I pre-ordered our Be Our Guest breakfast for our May trip. Then I booked our hotel for the July trip. Then Chase got our package booked for the September trip! Then I booked our dining for the October trip! And when we got home our May magic bands were in the mailbox a…

#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……

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…

Oh hi blog
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while! Been busy… my birthday and then Las Vegas! Let me go back through my phone photos and see what I’ve missed. I got some very important fabric and a very important pattern (no clue what I’m doing with any of this, I just got it all for the stash.) And then I had…

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…

Diiiiiiiiiidny
So, a few thoughts…. 1. We booked our Fastpasses! Friday night (technically Saturday morning – Orlando time) I logged in and booked our fastpasses. There wasn’t a TON we wanted to do, since Chase isn’t big on rides and most everything else we’ve done a lot. We just missed the Mine Train when we went earlier this year, so that…

Back from Vegas
I’m back after a week long trip! I’d never been to Las Vegas, somehow. Never had a convention that drew me there I guess LOL I was asked to come along to be part of the booth team for a trade show through work last week, and Chase got to come, too! So I was excited to get to see…

The Red Folder
I’ve had this red leather folder I use for travel. I think my aunt gave it to me before I left for Dragoncon 2003 – or SDCC 2004? I know it was one of the two. Since then, I’ve used it for every major trip I’ve taken. Everytime I go to put stuff in it it’s always got the last…
