Even if you’re a gigantic loser like me who bailed out of the movie Up after the first harrowing 10 minutes, you’re probably familiar with the image of Carl and Ellie’s house being lifted from the ground by a bunch…
I could have fixed Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser
Hi. I’m Kim. I’m an adult who likes Disney, but not a Disney Adult, which is why we never even entertained the thought of spending $5,000 on two meager nights in Disney’s Star Wars themed hotel with 100 windowless rooms….
Friday 5: 子供の日 (Children’s Day)
Happy Friday, which also happens to be National Hoagie Day, National Astronaut AND National Space Day (jumping on the Star Wars May 4th frenzy, I see) and of course, Cinco De Mayo. This week Mom, J&K, and Nephews A&B went…
Catching up
Hey Kim! What’s been going on? Personally: In July I joined a gym, which announced its closing 6 weeks later. Then I joined another gym, which is still open. I go in 2-3 times a week and do a mix…
WDW 2022 trip: What we did not like
There are 3 kinds of Disney Parks fans. The first group will never criticize a thing. The second group hates everything that has been added since 1980. The third group, the more centrist group, can love many things and still…
WDW 2022 trip: what we liked

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…
