One more Disney (Leap) Day...

Leap Day at Disneyland. One More Disney Day. One more day to make some money and one more day for those of us who love Disneyland (and were up to the challenge) to spend 24 hours at one of our favorite places.  At first I was nervous, because I was worried I wouldn't be up for the challenge, after all, by the time we left the park, Troy and I had already been up for almost 26 hours (we registered about 20 minutes of catnapping between the two of us during the 24 hours).

It's hard to believe that it has been a week since our foray into sleepless craziness and while I am not sure that I have fully recovered from that fantabulous event, I do know one thing, it was worth it.  I have memories, met new people, saw 'Modern Family' being filmed (Thursday afternoon too!), got some pretty decent pictures of them filming, spent the entire day with my bestie since 9th grade and just had an all around great time. 

People say we were crazy, and maybe we were, but we did it and this event is something I can say I was a part of. I was also a part of making history as Disneyland topped out at 88,000 people and the two parks together combined for a total of 106,000 people, 66,000 of which were annual pass holders like myself and Troy. Maybe this wasn't the first time Disneyland reached capacity, but I believe the amount of passholders is what made it one for the books.

Great Memories. A good thing to have...! =D

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials?  Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay.  First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness.  Smile sincerely and be happy for them.  Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow.  Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night.  Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day?  Take your power back and put you first.  There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day.  Severa...

Need a tip? Don't let Social Media kill your self-esteem.

This is my fifth draft on this subject and I find that the more I rewrite this, the less redundant I seem to become.  I'm also a little less cynical, since my first draft. I am trying to take the more positive approach to life, what can I say? New Year's Resolution? Probably, but that's a topic for another day. So, let's get to the nitty gritty of the subject line.  Do you ever feel like you are ignored or 'not worthy' when on Twitter?  Maybe even Facebook?  I have a friend that does when it comes to Twitter.  Yeah, okay, it's me, but Facebook isn't my problem, in fact, I know personally 99% of my Facebook Friend's, because I don't just friend anyone, which is also why I don't look like I have many friend's on there. *shrugs*  Besides, that's what Twitter is for... From time to time I like to comment or retweet things I see.  I don't expect a response or a like, but when I don't get one, I think 'Oh Crap, did I ...
