The theme for this year’s Mothers Day brunch is “crispy”. Whoops. Parents house is a bit smoky, but everything tastes fine…enough. 😊

Current weather at WDW vs my house. I chose poorly. 🥵

Me: Not getting another sipper. I already have too many. Where would I put it?! Also Me: Oh look, he’s standing on a little orange crate. 🥹

Earlier this evening I heard a bit of a ruckus and went to investigate. It’s a good thing I’m taking a break from runDisney, because I don’t have room left for any more shirts. (Did somehow manage to refold everything and squeeze them back in)

It’s the most beautiful time of the year…springtime in the Big Acorn.

The ladies operating the Einstein Brothers at DFW are an impressive combination of friendliness and ruthless efficiency. I love them and we should put them in charge. (Or maybe I’m just really happy to have coffee)

Waco mission accomplished: Spent a small fortune on merch from the Dr Pepper museum gift shop. Also grabbed a Strawberries & Cream float to go.

Up at runDisney time, but not at Disney 🥺 Early flight out of a regional airport means waiting to be screened by TSA because they are not open yet. 😴🙃 Have a Great Race everybody!

Tickets for RetroMagic California acquired. I’m going to Disneyland*! (*Harbor Blvd)

A highlight of our Seniors’ NYC trip was getting to meet some mounted officers during our Central Park tour. Our kids got to see them in action in the park, ask questions, tour the barn, and even help untack. Huge thanks to @nataliekreinert.bsky.social for helping make this happen!

My day started headed for the Jax airport with 9 High School seniors, 2 recent graduates, and 7 chaperones at 4:00 am on our way to NYC. Ended with the 8 pm performance of Wicked. Has been a long but good day.😴

Dragged my work bestie out for a fun night in Gainesville. Got to see @nataliekreinert.bsky.social, grab a copy of her latest book, and have a tasty dinner out at the Top.

Celebrating pi day at Blaze pizza. Wherever you are Alan, this one’s for you.

Boom Baby.

My meager willpower stood no chance against the barrage of Wendy’s ads MRN is playing during the race. The thin mints frosty is worth it tho 😏

I drove to Washington county (central time) Friday, ran a one day family camp program there yesterday, then came back home last night in time to spring forward. I’m doing great today. 😴🤪

The Daily Grind, local burger joint in Port Orange FL. Had the best burgers ever. Didn’t make it through the pandy.

Finally checked out our new Raisin Cane’s. It really is just Guthrie’s. Which is fine…but surprised at the hype.

Guess what time it is! It’s a Great Day for a 5k! 🤓

I call BS on the purple being harder/more obscure than the blue 🐓 Connections Puzzle #983 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨

Went out for a girls Valentines dinner with 3 coworkers. Scored some cute presents and had a fantastic dinner.

Hey y’all, the public hearing on this rule is happening now and the Department representative is giving a canned response to all concerns about the protections for LGBTQ youth in out of home care. If you care about this issue, and have time to read the rule and leave a relevant comment please do.

My feelings about daytime sub freezing temperatures in the Deep South where I live:

Ugh…so close 🙇‍♀️ Connections Puzzle #960 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨

Upside of Sissy having a late January birthday: back at Raglan Road on National Irish Coffee day. Seated practically on the stage. Brunch is going to be loud. 🤓🐑

The chicken & waffles from the Odyssey is surprisingly tasty. And they give you a good size portion of nugs. 10/10 The sour beer is also great.

It belongs in a museum! 🤓 (Paid our last respects to Dr. Seeker and the Dino Institute. Now sippin on fountain cherry coke and chilling)

We’re here for Sissy’s birthday tomorrow, but I might be going a bit too hard. 🫠

Have to pee, but must not disturb kitty. I’m definitely losing this game of chicken because he’s already put his head back down and is sleeping.

Figured the Hoth mug is appropriate for tonight’s hot chocolate. Also I just successfully finished off a half gallon of milk before it went bad. Feel like I should get adult points for that.

Check out this cute sign left as a thank you gift on my desk. I think it’s from our Director of donor processing for helping open Christmas mail. She really gets me. 🤓

According to an assessment we did at work, when I get stressed my “flip” is tranquil inertia. Going to embrace my inner nature and chill with my pals here on the couch. Also it’s raining. So perfect day for it.

Curses! 🙇‍♀️ Connections Puzzle #932 🟪🟦🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Wow! Thanks so much to my awesome Secret Santa @scottkumka.dissky.com I love everything and I had so much fun unwrapping it all! #DisneyFanGiftExchange

Glad to see the neighborhood onlookers seem relatively undisturbed following last weekend’s youth hunt.

I’m just now hearing we lost Rob Reiner. Wish I could go home, build a blanket fort, and binge When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride. Want to embrace the spirit of my favorite line “That’s the good thing about depression, you get your rest”

Our office is having a gingerbread themed door decorating contest this year. Finished my entry tonight. I think it turned out okay. 🤓

Boathouse’s reservation system is down. There’s a small angry mob forming, bringing a whole new meaning to #standwithboathouse Fortunately Chuy, saint of a bartender outside, is keeping us all hydrated.

Well I’m out. Off to Whamhalla thanks to the music loop at Headquarter Hyundai. Waiting for a new tire. #whamageddon

Yes, I post entirely too many sunsets but I just can’t help myself. Just loook at it. Yes, the world is on fire but at least it’s pretty sometimes.

Dragged myself out for a walk after a few weeks of slacking. Lots of deer out this evening.

It is once again time for DisTwitter (RIP) Secret Santa! Now spread over Twitter/X, Threads and Bluesky, come one and come all for a gift exchange with your fellow Disney fans! Click for details! P.S. Please share, report, etc. to get the word out! www.elfster.com/gift...

🤓 I must say the joy I get from achieving a reverse rainbow doesn’t even out the regular disappointment every time I don’t. I don’t identify as a perfectionist, but now I’m starting to wonder 🤔 Connections Puzzle #887 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨

First cookie butter latte of the season. It’s officially the most wonderful time of the year. ☕️🎄 #justlovecoffee

Oooooh. Nice job Florida.

I have done my civic duty. Now, I’m gonna make some soup.

Second cinnamon roll frozen coffee of the trip. No regrets. Also the hand dipped Mickey premium bar was delicious. 10/10 for Everything Pop treats.

Our awesome server Kaitlin at Le Cellier brought out the moose mousse to congratulate me for finishing the half. 😊

Here we go again. 13.1 to go 🤓
