I Hate Disneyland


It's true. Although this, my third time, was much more successful than preceding visits. Honestly, the first day was almost a success until I was tricked into riding the elevator to hell. Straight to hell.

I know that you can't wait to read how I really feel about it. Here are my thoughts on the "Magical Kingdom".

A. Its full of people, thousands and thousands
of people. Let's face it I can't even go to
Target on a Saturday without getting a little
angry.

2. Germs. You can't have thousands of
people without billions of germs crawling on
things from unwashed hands, sneezing,
coughing, throwing up, etc.

III. Walking. I appreciate a nice brisk walk
now and then, but 20 miles later the
appreciation start to wane, just slightly.

Q. Strollers. I hate strollers, it makes me
shiver just to think about it. Although, I
might change my opinion on strollers if
next time someone pushes me in one.

In conclusion, I love Space Mountain, I want to ride it every day 15 times. My vote for expanding Utah's public transportation system would definately include some kind of unlit tunnels with stars. I love Space Mountain. I hate the tower of terror. I love observing, from a germ safe distance, the incredibly strange behavior that comes out of normally sane people. Disneyland is like the twilight zone of happy cartoon goodness.

My recommendation can only be that you go, at least once, have a corndog, drink several gallons of water and enjoy. I'll see you when you get home.

ps. I stole this picture from Katherine's blog, which I can only assume is legal since she's giving it away for free on the internet...its on computers now.

LOL... I feel the SAME way about disneyland, except I LOVED the tower of terror. I think it was my favorite, I did it three times! However, Disneyland is definitely a place I won't be re-visiting until all of my kids are old enough to remeber it, so I never have to go back!

Thanks for your comment!

Next time (if there is a next time) I will personally push you around in a stroller. But only if we win fast passes. And you assumed wrong, the picture isn't free. ;)

i thought the trip was a success. although you came close, you never actually had a complete melt down. i'm sorry about the tower of terror. that was a mean trick because i really wanted to ride it.

good day to you.

Sugar.

I felt like making a special tribute to Sugar, my long time friend. From a very young age I began a relationship with this delightful substance. My mother would add Karo syrup to my formula, and we haven't been parted since. I think to say that I love sugar is an understatement. I love water, I love hotdogs, but Sugar?...I can't survive without it. Although avoiding diabetes could be impossible, I can't resist. Whether it's a brownie for breakfast, a little sugar packet while waiting for food at the restaurant, or what ever misc. sugar laced deliciousness I eat in my sleep I just can't let go. I can't say that I've never tried to stop, to break the connection that we have. It was a terrible experience, that left people wondering if I was really a coke addict (not the beverage). So our relationship will be life long, its either all or none of us, we'll go down together. Here's to you sugar, and your secret powers to brighten every day.

Summer Project #1 - The Hydrant Sprinkler

So, I recently took after my sisters and made a lengthy list.  Mine is of house projects I would like to do, or save up for (is more realistic).  My first project was to move my birthday present from Jeremy, a Pacific State fire hydrant, from my patio so we wouldn't be the junk yard neighbors. Birthday Present 2010 Pre Make Over Although it was a good looking hydrant before I started working on it, our patio is only 10' and it was a little out of place, and in the way. A little TLC is understatement.  I took the entire hydrant apart (hydrant anatomy lesson post forthcoming), drilled new holes in different pieces, greased it up, repainted it, designed and implemented a new plumbing system and........ VOILA!!! I had a brand new sprinkler for our flower bed/veggie garden.  Note:  there are three sprinklers built into the hydrant, which I might have connected to our landscape sprinkler system without permission from the HOA.  Also n...
