Into the New Year

January 1, 2015, 18 Comments

As I said in my previous post, I tend not to take New Years all that seriously. And with that I forgo resolutions, and sometimes even celebrating. Originally Patrick and I gave thought to ringing in the New Year at Disneyland, but eventually we opted to loaf about home… Until about 4 o’clock that is when…

Christmas at Disneyland

As mentioned in my previous post, Patrick and I spent Christmas Eve with my sister, her husband and my grandmother and her boyfriend (oh my, that does sound scandalous, doesn’t it? But it’s true. Her last husband died when I was in grade school, and prior to that her first husband, my dad’s dad, passed…

Christmastime in Orange

One thing I love about the new city we call home is the old town area of Orange. It’s a charming area of old buildings that are home to a variety of businesses, including many antique malls. The area also has a roundabout that features a small park in the middle, complete with fountain. Earlier…

Over the weekend Patrick and I did a bit of last minute Christmas shopping. We’ve been super busy lately and while getting dressed up to go shopping is always appealing, we were rushing around so I opted for a more casual, but still festive look. So here’s a somewhat random fact about me, I love…

Once Upon a Wintertime

Earlier this week Patrick and I went on the Holiday Time tour at Disneyland. Like the Happiest Haunts tour we took in the fall, the Holiday Time tour is also seasonal, limited to the time when the Disneyland Resort is celebrating the holidays. For our tour I wore a pin from a trio I bought…

While I finally finished decorating awhile ago, I hadn’t felt up to photographing, especially since the living room had become a bit of a sick bay for me, complete with blankets, humidifier and mug of tea, Jamba Juice, bottles of Gatorade, and a massive pile of DVDs. But I’ve been feeling better, and as December…

Patrick and I had a pretty low key Thanksgiving for our first Thanksgiving as Californians. While we were invited to my sister’s, I just wasn’t feeling up to it, as I can’t seem to live without a buffet of tea, Gatorade, Jumba Juice, cough drops and of course medicine. I made a pot roast (I’ve…

Christmas Time Is Here!

Last night Patrick and I went to Disneyland for dinner and to enjoy the Christmas decorations that recently went up. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting several people who love vintage and Disneyland, so we hung out with them as well. I’ve been having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit (I think it was…

This is Halloween!

Ah, yes, another Disneyland post! Last year Patrick and I had such a blast at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party that we had to do it again! The Halloween parties at Disneyland are a lot of fun, and are one of the few times when those over the age of nine are allowed to wear…

Happiest Haunts Materialize!

I can see the end of our move in sight! We’ve had so many random little hiccups during the move in process, but I think I’ll be able to share our new place with you all in the near future! There will still be a few bare spots, as we still quite haven’t found some decor…
