Disneyland!

I was down in Burbank the past 3 days and as usual, I stayed pretty busy.


A couple of weeks ago I locked up a date with the ultra-busy Kate for us to go to Disneyland. Giddy was going to meet us there and everything. I made plans to go down to Burbank on Sunday to be fresh and ready to go Monday morning... And then disaster struck! Kate was going to be forced to work by her evil monster of a boss. I was, like, totally bummed. I decided just to mope down to Burbank on Monday instead.


Then I got a call from Kate on Sunday saying she was magically available to go to Disneyland the next day because she was going to quit her horribly toxic job. An hour after I congratulate her and hang up, I'm packed and waving good-bye to the husband and dog, merrily on my way to L.A.


We had a great time! We did not go on the Matterhorn, as I have enough issues with my neck and back thankyouverymuch, but I did snap this photo of its iconic silhouette. I had to look up how to spell "silhouette" because even the correct spelling looks horribly wrong. Moving on.

Here's a picture of my lovely friend on the Alice in Wonderland ride.

We went on Kate's favorite ride, Heimlichs Chew Chew Train. It goes very slowly, yet only lasts about 45 seconds. When you go through the big animal cracker-box, it smells like animal crackers... and when you go through giant watermelon, it spits watermelon scent on you. Um. Moving on.

Here's the hams, hammin' it up. Giddy, Mr. Giddy and Kate at California Screamin.'

We also went on the new Toy Story Mania and HOLY CRAP it was fun. I'd have taken pictures but I was too busy gettting my heinie kicked by the lovely, gentle Kate. I'll get you next time!

I got a Halloween decoration because I love Halloween. Oh, and Tinkerbell is all right too, I guess. If you're into that sort of thing.



Then after we had fun at Walt's Place, Kate took me down the road to Angel's Stadium where I met my hubby for a Yankee spankin' game of baseball. Final score that day: Angels won 12 to 1. (BTW, the Angels clinched the AL West today. I know you don't care but I'm excited.) We had great seats and there was a bench-clearing brawl that was awesome.

That was my Monday.

On Tuesday, I went shopping! I met a couple of girlfriends for dinner where we gabbed and they showered me with love. Then I went to my old meeting hall and got to sit in on a great women's meeting.

Today I got to wear my wedding dress again (long story), which is good because I LOVE IT. All in all, a very good trip. And now I'm home. YAY home!
