I Miss Disney

 

          I miss going to Disney and doing Disney stuff. I moved here just so I could go to Disney any time I wanted to, but it got to be a bit of a hassle to do so. Between the heat, construction, and crowds it was a chore just to get there. I am waiting until all of that calms down. Okay, I know the heat won't go away and the crowds will always be there, but at least I can wait out the construction LOL. They seem to be doing a lot of it.

          The park I miss the most is Epcot. To me it is the most fun. I can travel around the world in one day. The festivals are phenomenal, my favorite is the Art Festival, followed by the Flower and Garden Festival. It is so pretty with all of the blooming flowers. I also love the garden-themed souvenirs. I just wish they were not so expensive LOL.

          Disney passes are expensive, but as a Florida resident I can swing the cost. I just need  the construction to fade a bit before I go back. I need my Disney fix LOL until then I curb it by going to Disney Springs LOL. Might just have to do that soon.

Don't Forget To...

 

          Don't forget to be kind to yourself. You deserve it. After all: you go up successfully LOL yesterday you managed to get over 11k steps, you put up Christmas lights, and turned 56 years old. Today, you have already made a Mississippi pot roast (that smells delicious) put away dishes, and did school work. You have been busy, so you deserve some kindness and love :) now all you have to do is water the plants and scrub the floors, and you will have nailed another day LOL.

         Okay, that was a silly post LOL but it made me giggle.

Another Year Older

 

          I cannot believe it is my birthday yet again. This getting older really is not all it is cracked up to be. I thought it would be a lot different. So, now I am faced with a new start to my year. I really, truly want this next year to be a great one. 

          I want to focus on me getting healthier, so I have lots more birthdays LOL.  It would be nice to find some sort of hobby, no idea what though. I want to be more active and sleep less LOL sleeping is awesome, but I do it too much.

          I also need to stop spending so much on no clue what LOL but every month my money seems to just disappear. I need to find out where and stop it LOL. Most of all, I just want to feel good about my life in general. That would be a wonderful thing to accomplish by my next birthday.

Happy 10th Birthday Commander

 

It’s this lovely loafs 10th birthday lol my son rescued him from the shelter back when we lived in Jacksonville. The name they gave him was Danny, but he quickly became Commander LOL sometimes Commander Fluffle LOL He only knows one trick and that is headbutt LOL he is constantly begging to go outside, which is confusing since he never has been an outdoor kitty. He is still playful as a kitten and so cuddly. He has tolerated a lot with us and has never made a complaint. He is the sweetest cat ever. He is our emotional support animal and our friend. He terrorizes the veterinarians, but to us, he is as patient as can be. Happy birthday Commander. We love you :)

Faith, Hope, Love, Joy

 

          I am going to try and start inspiring me LOL I deserve it. I think the picture is absolutely beautiful and so it is inspiring me to choose wisely today. Focus on happy thoughts of faith, hope, love, and joy. So that is what I am going to do.

          Yesterday I accomplished everything on my to do list LOL today's list has already been started and includes making matzo ball soup and possibly going to Disney Springs with Staci to see the Christmas trees. Not sure just yet. Depends on when she wakes up and how cold it is LOL  

          Florida seems bent on participating in winter this week. Not a big fan, but at least the weather is making it comfy for me to wear my new pink pants and pink t-shirt LOL. I am all comfy cozy today.

Choose to be Happy

 

          I don't know why, but sometimes I find myself feeling guilty for being happy or having a positive thought like I do not deserve it. That is the stupidest thing ever. Everybody deserves to be happy, even me. Maybe subconsciously it is to make others not feel even worse by comparing themselves to me being happy? 

         I have had others get jealous and upset at me just because my life seemed better than theirs, which is completely unfair. I work hard to make my life the way it is. I have earned my happiness. Nobody gave it to me. I have nobody supporting me, I am on my own, and everything I have accomplished I did on my own. Part of me wants to say my kids helped, but they were just my inspiration and cheering section, I still had to do everything LOL. So if I want to be happy, I need to let myself be happy, who cares what others might think.

          

Hello December 2024

 

          Well, I cannot believe we made it to December already. This year flew by. Busy month ahead. With working and Christmas, it is also my birthday month (yuck). We have finishing up the school semester for both Staci and me. Then there is just all the general craziness of the holiday.

          Not all of it is bad though. Today we get to start opening our Advent Calendars. I have eight of them for us to open every day up until Christmas. I hope they all go over well. 

          Now just waiting for the lazy ones to get up LOL then I have to mow my backyard, do laundry, and go to Target to pick up a bin to put away all my Autumn stuff so can get out Christmas stuff. Not sure if the coffee is strong enough for all that LOL.
