Be careful what you wish for…

April 24, 2008 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

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 ...

Finding Nemo (and everything else, too.)

March 7, 2008 By Marta Darby 7 Comments

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”

February 19, 2008 By Marta Darby 6 Comments

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!

January 27, 2008 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

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

March 2, 2007 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

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

February 15, 2007 By Marta Darby 4 Comments

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.

December 5, 2006 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

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 ...

Easily entertained…

October 24, 2006 By Marta Darby 1 Comment

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 ...
