Happy Friday! This time last week I was at Walt Disney World. Look at this magic! The fireworks started just as we came to the front of the line to have our picture taken. Gorgeous. SIGH. We left last Thursday…
Mickey Mouse Chia Pet
Two years ago, Coworker D bought me a Mickey Mouse Chia pet for Christmas. I tried twice to get it to grow and failed. And then work got REALLY busy (the Big!Work!Project! that I will never stop mentioning!) and I…
Stupid Sewing Tricks: Mickey Mouse Pillow
You KNOW when I saw a Steamboat Willie remnant in the pile at Jo-Ann that I couldn’t walk on by, right? I aimed for an 18 inch square pillow and it ended up … not that. I have very real…
La Ratatouille
“Your last Christmas gift came!” WM exclaimed as I came home from work one day last week. He offered me a large, flat cardboard box. I opened it and smiled. He hung it up outside of the kitchen. For the…
Our Adventureland bathroom
Once upon a time we had a lovely half-bathroom downstairs. And then we got a puppy! We decided that when we went to work we’d have him stay in the bathroom, because it was larger than a crate and he’d…
Throwback Thursday: Disney forever
Again, the Disney thing isn’t all of my own doing. It just stuck with me harder than it stuck to my brother. This is 81 or 82, maybe. (I also now realize where my desire for a red sofa came…

One more thing about the MagicBands
I forgot to put this in the WDW review post, and that one’s already long. Here is what the MagicBand looked like on my wrist from the top: Kind of okay, right? But here is what it looked like from…
The Frazzleds at Walt Disney World
Years ago while I was still at the C-P, I sketched a self-portrait at work. As you can see, my artistic skills are second to none. I named her Frazzled Kim and stuck her on my computer monitor. A few…
The Number of the Mouse
We have a trip to Walt Disney World coming up, and I gotta tell ya, Disney’s spending mucho bucks in order to track how many churros I consume in a five-day period. Our room keys, park passes and FastPass+es are/will…
Throwback Thursday: The first Walt Disney World souvenir
In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, I’ve been digging through my memory box – a literal box – of things I’ve accumulated on my journey from miss to ma’am. I have a lot of Disney merchandise hanging around. From the…
