Returning From Neverland

Travel

I find the return from Disney (especially a Disney resort) so unsettling. Leaving my house this morning I see that not everyone is smiling! Not everyone has a song in their heart! Some people actually don’t want to be doing their jobs! There are no bunnies on my front lawn when I wake up!

Not that our time within the Disney bubble of un-reality was completely sheltered from the outside world: as we dressed for the parks, the morning TV news showed us reports of stupid people doing stupid things with guns in the warm Florida nights. And we did see a few “child vs parent” melt downs that shattered the happy go lucky atmosphere inside the parks, like a fart in a bakery. For the most part though, we happily posed with fairies and bears and queens, though not all during Gay Days, with content smiles on our faces.

Expect pictures and stories soon.

Countdown To Disney – White Limo? Really?

Travel

Limo arrived early and clean. But white. Seriously! Who takes a white limo and NOT live in Miami?

Customs and security was effortless (I kept my belt on, shoes off, no bag inspection, three questions at the customs agent stamp stamp bye)

Now the three hour wait because Its better to be early and bored than frazzled.

Countdown to Disney – Disney Miracles!

Travel

My huge cardboard paper cut on the pad of my pointer finger (yes, it was as painful as it sounds) is nearly healed!

SharkBoy’s wart is gone!

The dollar is at $0.91 and rising!

I got all the clothes and crap I want and still made it under the 40lbs limit WestJet has sanctioned!

We found our $10 rain ponchos with Mickey on the back from 2007!

The buff on my manicured nails is still there!

I can feel the light! Amen! Allelujah! Yehova! Klaatu Barada Nicto!

Countdown To Disney – Fat No More

Personal Bits, Travel

I’m pleased to say that I hit my target weight of 211lbs a full 22 hours before my deadline this morning, even after cheating with a pizza for dinner. Why “211”? Why not a nice fingers and toes base ten “210lbs”? It has to do with the Wii Fit and it’s anal desire to keep you focused on BMI and not your weight. I couldn’t get it to squeeze out that extra pound when I set up my last goal on it because it would not be ‘realistic’ to lose that much BMI in such a short time. Or so my Wii Fit says. And I trust it.

I love you Wii Fit. Please, never leave me.

Strange thing is, after losing 36lbs since March, I don’t think I look different. Expect blog posts about finger banging my uvula in a little while as I try to come to terms with a dysmorphic body image.
