Disney World!

This is what some people look like while they're waiting for the first of several Disney transportation devices you have to take to get to the Magical Kingdom from the parking lot.  We parked in the villains lot.  Caption Hook Section.  Anyway, it's an excited look!





Some of ya'll know I harbor a great love of camels.  They're so badass and silly at the same time.  My animal hero!







Felix was scared of EVERYTHING. We paid him $1 for every bravery test ride he had to take to spend later at Legoland.



I love this picture for obvious reasons.  Are the reasons not obvious to you?  Ok, I'll explain.  That guy.  His lady friend.  Also that print on my top plus the place my body got cut off makes my boobs look both huge and weird.  Hey boobs!  You are kind of big and weird.  This picture captured your personalities!



It's a Small World is probably my favorite ride.  I feel like I'm on drugs, but no drugs are allowed at Disney World.  The magic is the drugs!!





Felix loves Pluto!



I loooove Felix's face when the fireworks started!  He was oohing and ahhing audibly, not just inside like I was!







This is  us at the end of the night, waiting for the second leg of our trip back to the villains lot, Captain Hook section.  We are tired, freezing, and our shoes hurt.

Thanks for letting me post one thousandy pictures.  Oh wait!  I do what I want.  Now have an awesome weekend.  Was that bossy?  Good.

SeaWorld!

SeaWorld is awesome and I highly suggest you go there.  Right now. I think they're open.





I love these flamingos!  Here is a story about a flamingo.  We were driving back to our hotel from Legoland when I saw a bird flying through the sky.  It was pink.  I asked Chainsaw what it was.  He says, "Flamingo."  And then I died from the triumph of seeing a wild flamingo flying through the sky.  That has never happened to me before, and I never suspected it would.  It wasn't even in my wildest dreams because I'd never thought it was a possibility.  Dang!  Time to revise my Wildest Dreams.



We petted some manta rays, which felt kind of gross to me.  Felix and Chainsaw also fed and petted some dolphins, which I did not see.  I believe them.  Mostly because they took my last $14 and came back with fishy fingers.



The Shamu show was AWESOME.  There were eleventy billion people there. It made me tear up a little.  You know when Hootie says he's such a baby because the dolphins make him cry?  It was like that a little.  I understand, Hootie.  I understand.





Felix made a possum buddy.  We later saw his cousin dead on the side of the road.  Sad.



I made this walrus buddy.  For reals.  The walruses might have been my favorite part of SeaWorld.



I could watch these guys all day.  I also liked their across the tank neighbors, the belugas, but the walruses were the best.

After SeaWorld the Chainsaw treated us to a Medieval Times show, which was also super number one badass.  We cheered for the green knight, who is the bad guy!





This picture sucks, but I assume you can get the feeling of how awesome we were while we were there.  I bought a flag.  And I spent a brazillian holes on drinks in collectible goblets/steins.  From now on we only drink like royalty, and you MUST refer to us as milord and milady.

Blur-Drunk

No, I did not forget about ya'll already.  I just neglected to warn you that I was going on a long fambly vacation (slash partial work trip for the Chainsaw).  We spent four days in Miami Beach (South Beach, to be exact!) and drove to Orlando where we went to SeaWorld, Disney World, and Legoland.  It was pretty awesome.

Here are a few of my favorites from the beachy portion, which involved Felix and I entertaining ourselves all day.  That includes occasionally taking my son out for juice and 32 ounce margaritas.  You guess who got what.



Here's Felix the very first time he saw the ocean.







I have an evil story to go with these seagulls.  You're just going to have to keep your pants on and wait a smidge for me to work up the proper amount of giving a crap to upload a video to youtube.  That was kind of dramatic.  I do give a crap, I'm just lazy.  So just chill.  It's worth it.







Felix took a couple sunset pictures of the Chainsaw and myself, and boy is he a... special photographer.



I like this one, but it makes me want to throw up a little bit.



This one is the only one that is not blurry, and someone appears to have fallen asleep in the middle of everything.





If you stare at these long enough, you might start getting a little blur-drunk, which is a term I just made up for when a blurry picture makes you feel a little drunk.  Does that happen to you?  I guess I could also use the term dizzy instead of drunk, but what fun what that be?  This was a vacation.

Click through on any picture for more beachy goodness.  Unless we're facebook friends, then you done seen em already.  You can even cheat and see a sneak preview of the rest of my vacation pictures, but you're going to have to wait for stories.

Horseshoe Review and Spooky Mountain Fun

Last Saturday was the last Horseshoe Craft and Flea Market of the year.





I made a new Hot Butter bunting the week before.  My old HB sign was approximately 8"x10", which means pretty small.  I do have sentimental attachment to it, but it was time for a bigger sign!







You can count on seeing a ton of awesome dogs at the Horseshoe.



I didn't bring any vintage stuff this time.  I just didn't have any time to get it ready.  Oh well!  It also didn't go as well as I had hoped, and I'm starting to feel kind of discouraged from doing markets (except for the holidays, of course).  They cost money to get into, and then if only make my booth fee back it's not really worth it.  Maybe it's the economy?  I don't think I'm the only one who's been having market troubles.

Ok, I'm done telling you the whiney, sad truth about all the markets I did this summer.  Onto other things!



We took a little trip up to the mountains last Sunday for leaf peeping.



We stopped in Nederland to eat lunch and ride the Carousel of Happiness with my dear sweet girl Laureal.



I rode the peacock!  No glorious action shots.  The Chainsaw took some, but they're awful blurry due to the moving.



My only leaf shot is this from the road to Laureal's house, where we filled our water bottles with fresh delicious spring water.



We didn't have enough time to get up to Rocky Mountain National Park, so we settled with a stop at the Stanley Hotel.











Oy, this is getting long.  I'm working hard on more Half-Moon Handbags.  The others cleared out fast!  I hope you're all having a great week.  Any plans for this weekend?
