SIGH. My closest, oldest, and dearest friends all live so very far away. And I really wanted to spend time with someone to de-compress from all the frantic let-me-show-you-the-highlights-of-California activity of the past few weeks. (This is a perfect example of my whiny prayer life, but that's not important right now.) My very favorite ...
Disney
Finding Nemo (and everything else, too.)
It's not like I don't already have enough projects going on in my life. But this one I couldn't resist. If you're the holder of a Disneyland Passport (which we are) this will be as familiar a sight to you as it is to us.Most of our friends are also passholders and Lovers of All Things Disney.So last week Helen (my niece) calls me: "It's ...
The word of the day is “Anticlimax”
We love going to Disneyland. It's conveniently located just a few miles from us and we conveniently have annual passes so we can go anytime. And we never get tired of it.It's not just the rides, but we love walking around and seeing things. I love taking my camera because something different and fun will always catch my eye. Even though it ...
When life gives you lemons. . . Go to the Happiest Place on Earth!
Completely distracted. Completely. Because I'm in mourning. Or maybe I'm in denial. They say you do crazy things when you're in denial. . . My PC has died an ugly, bloody death. Here is his carcass, sitting impotently on my floor. I did call someone to come and retrieve my documents and memory, but it's still pretty dead. I don't know why I ...
What I know
I make them take this same picture with me over and over. Every single time we go to Disneyland.And we go a lot. The beauty is that they do it.Every time.For me. My girls are pretty easy.They love being on both sides of the camera. The boys, however, take some coaxing. I know that the things that I insist on documenting now will be meaningful to ...
1 camera + 2 girls = 3 (hundred!) pictures
I am sort of grounded. (heavy sigh)My mom is staying with us for a few weeks. So I couldn't go to Disneyland with Lucy and Amy today. =( But my camera could.... ;-) (don't worry. I only uploaded 18 of the 300. =D) http://widget-0f.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf Is it just me? Or are they both just really adorable? =D ...
No more sombreros for Mami, thanks.
There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who look good in hats And the rest of us. I was still massaging my bruised ego from The Trampoline Debacle yesterday. And I had some other problems with orders and customers that put me in a blue funk. So, Amy took me to dinner at Disneyland to cheer me up. We watched fireworks and it ...
Serendipity
Ok. I knew the minute I posted this picture, we would be so busted. So I am coming clean. Yes. We ditched school yesterday.(even homeschoolers have the urge to ditch at times)But we had a great reason...Our friends, Gene & Pam were visiting from Hanfordand we HAD to go to Disneyland together!So happy to be with our friends.Then Amy joined ...
Easily entertained…
I know this is going to sound shallow, but I went to Disneyland last night to have dinner and see the decorations.... WITHOUT MY KIDS. I know. I know. I was raised Catholic and I don't know who did it, but I know someone declared this to be a Mortal Sin. (I can see myself writing: "I will not feel guilty" - 100 times on the ...
