your sympathetic vibrations

You know the phrase “I need a vacation from my vacation?” A little bit of that was going on when we got back from our Disney World anniversary vacation, but then once I was back at work all I wanted was to be back in the parks. Luis and I are already planning our next Disney adventure.

When we went to the Haunted Mansion the first time this trip, a cast member complimented my dress and said, “Oh, it’s like looking in a mirror!” I was hoping to elicit such a response. But the real thrill came later…

At the end of our first tour around the manse, as I was stepping out of the Doombuggy, another cast member saw me, looked at her watch, and said, “You’re late!”

superb day for a seance

I was so excited that it was all I could talk about for at least the next hour. 

Stay spooky, my friends.

sense a disquieting metamorphosis

I’m going to Disney World next week with my husband for our anniversary. I’ve been looking forward to this for almost a whole year. So you can probably imagine how much I don’t want to be at work right now.

We packed our bags last weekend, because we’re such planners. On Monday night, I sat up in bed because I remembered that I needed to pack my Haunted Mansion Minnie Ears. Luis laughed at me like I was delirious, but it’s a good thing I remembered! I’m planning to wear a Haunted Mansion Disney Bound outfit on our anniversary, when we’re in the Magic Kingdom. Green and black striped dress, purple wallpaper leggings, matching Minnie Ears. Anywhere else, I’d be embarrassed to wear such a silly outfit, but not in Disney World.

It’s strange, but now that it’s closer, it feels like it’s not real. I guess it won’t feel real until we’re actually there, walking around and experiencing things. I thought this week would go by like molasses, but it actually hasn’t been that bad. I had to go back to the office for the first time since March 2020, but it’s been pretty relaxed and quiet, thankfully. 

I used to hate waiting, but I’m realizing that anticipating things is part of the fun. Maybe being excited is enough to get me through.
