Thoughts on Disneyland vs Walt Disney World

Pixar play ferris wheel at dusk, the wheel is illuminated in green and purple

It’ll come as no shock to you that I’m a fan of the Disney Parks, namely Walt Disney World. I had been to Disneyland before, but almost 20 years ago. My husband (the world’s biggest non-toxic fan of Indiana Jones)…

Current view

It’s our last morning of a whirlwind weekend trip to Clearwater to see a Phillies spring training game. The more beaches I see more I love beaches. We fly back tonight and while I had a blast, it’ll be nice…

Seattle 2024

Last month WM and I traveled to see our Seattle friends for the first time since 2018. I was a little nervous about how we’d all function in person after only having internet/movie night contact for the past 5 years…

January DC trip!

Kim, cheesily pretending to hold the Washington Monument in her hand.

WM and I had a difficult time figuring out what to give each other for Christmas. We decided that we’d go the experience route instead and take a long weekend in Washington DC. Our goal was a balance of visiting…

Savannah 2019

I had the fortune to be able to travel to Savannah earlier this month for work — the same PersoniFest that brought me to Austin last year — and ye Gods, what a gorgeous city. Savannah is a very walkable…

Friday 5: Stay and Let Me Look at You

Happy Friday from Lexington, Kentucky! I’m here for work. I exhibited on behalf of TNP at a Hospital Medicine Conference for the last few days. The hotel is lovely, but set on a highway which is unwalkable. That combined with…

Floridian Friday 5 on Saturday: Games People Play

Hello from RetiredLand, Florida! I’m here visiting with Dad for a bit, pretending that I’m retired, too. So far the weather’s been amazing by my standards, but chilly by Floridian standards. It snowed at home yesterday. I am SO SICK…

Florida travels

Longtime readers know that Dad retired to Florida about 10 years ago. I went down last September after Fall Business Trip #1, and decided to take a quick 4-day spring break trip this year. I mean, how could I pass…

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
