Escape from Winter 2014: Disney Happiness Style.

Lack of an Update.

I feel like this blog has been totally neglected, but I really don't have much to talk about these days. Not that I'm even whining about life, everything's going just dandy (granted the weather hasn't exactly been cooperating since its ALMOST May) but that's neither here nor there.

Spring break at Disney went splendidly. Weather was great, food was gorged upon, rides were ridden. Spent three days up to Mayo in the beginning of April trying to find answers for this constant workout dilemma I have. Learning absolutely diddly was beyond disheartening. Although I guess I did learn I have off the charts awesome cholesterol. My HDL is 93 and LDL is 91. But I guess there's gotta be some perks when you don't like red meat or pork.

So there. A slightly informative update! Non yoga related. Although I know that one will be coming soon....

 

DPP 1: December's Menu.

Chef Olivia is cooking up a spicy December!

  

Today starts the December Photo Project! 25 days of pictures! Love it. 

Yo Ho Yo Ho!!

Pirate Nessa hopes there's enough rum to last all October....

Fall is Here!

Nessa is beyond excited to go to kindergarten this year, can't you tell? Happy September!

TinkerOlivia!

I am off to Boston for a week(ish) but have a very magical first week of August!!!

Finding NemoMyla in July!

Here's wishing everyone a wet & wild July!!

Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming!

May Day Buggy Babies!

Day Four @ Disney Highlights.

Monday:

• Waking up to find 10+ bug bites.
• A sunny safari ride at Animal Kingdom.
• Dad turning around mid ride to tell us about UNI in the NIT.
• Moms Expedition something or other boozy beverages at our Yak n Yeti lunch.
• Another day getting three workouts in.
• The privilege of leaving our Wolfgang Puck waiter a note explaining why he sucked. (I wanted my sushi!)
• The chaos that became Mom and I watching the Bachelor finale (while I was in the gym, and she thought she was texting me from ten feet away).
• The classic raiding the fridge of all the tasty leftovers from the first half of the week.

Day Three @ Disney Highlights.

Sunday:

Three cheers for Disney serving egg white omelets!

Getting to check out the new and different story lines of the Star Tours ride at MGM (yes, it is still MGM and always will be).
Watching Mom get (re)served her collared greens with whipped cream on them and sharing a PB&J milkshake at a new (to us) 50s themed diner.

Not having to deal with massive crowds due to rain at the park.
But then leaving the park early ourselves and getting in three workouts.
Witnessing INSANE perfectly shaped orb hair during dinner at China.

Day Two @ Disney Highlights.

Saturday:
Had a great early morning workout at their fabulous gym.
Feasted on a french lunch at EPCOT, complete with cheese plate, quiche, and a delicious strawberry cake.
Which led to an accident afternoon nap.
House of Blues makes a killer bread pudding.
Bought some sweet SWEET 80s leg warmers for NLXF.
Got the chance to work off WAY too much bread, cheese, and chocolate with a late night gym visit.

Day One @ Disney Highlights.

Quaker Oats self serve oatmeal machine at the hotel. If you know how much I love oatmeal, you know how happy this made me. And all the condiments your oatmeal could desire!

An easy flight. The older I get and more I fly, the more I figure my odds of crashing are imminent. So each surviving flight is a win in my book.

Disney finally discovered how happy it would make me to have free wifi at the resort. Forget "more time for family and $20 for hardwired 24 hours", give me access!

Ponchos bought! And used!

First night dinner at Via Napoli. The glory of pizza made with Italian water is ENDLESS. Good god it was STELLAR. And the dessert of coppa di brutti ma buoni might have made me happy too.... :-)

Not even A&E?

I am the ONLY one at the gym, I ask the attendant to change the channel from ESPN. She chooses MSNBC. As a female in my 20s, ellipticaling to Hardball with Chris Matthews does not bode for a successful workout.

February Feelin Fine!

February has arrived (Mother Nature clearly hasn't noticed though)!

Mulan and her Dragon....February and Chinese New Year go hand and hand!

2012 is here!

This year's cat calendar! 2012 is the year of Disney felines. January brings lovely Myla as the Little Mermaid!
