Can I come too? I know at least three things about Star Wars.

Here's another one. I bought a teacup ride mug...the saucer is attached.
Also we pick an ornament every year and I picked this one because it's pretty much the closest depiction of roxyhubby and I at the parks that exists. Him with his phone taking pics and me eating ice cream.

I don’t souvenir but did get a Teacups tea cup leaving Epcot our last day. I have a real soft spot for that ride, it’s always our first ride on our first day. The DLR version at night is absolutely magic!

ETA I also got one of these mugs in New Orleans:

I'll go call my good friend Tiana...(who by the way promised she'd bake a 5ft tall chocolate birthday cake for my kiddo and I have not seen it yet so I'm starting to wonder if that was an empty promise)

Never trust a Disney Princess.

Running update!

It's snowing right now. And it's 28 degrees F. My husband texted me that he smelled snow in the air last night. And sure enough we woke up to it. I think his days of being an avid skier have turned him into a blood hound for the smell of fresh powder. All of the trees are still mostly green because of the weird hot fall we got, but they all looked like they sneezed their leaves off this morning. Just green leaves everywhere on the ground.

So my weather stalking now begins for the opposite reason as the summer...now I want to find the warmest part of the day to run. Because I want to run again. I'm ready to run again.
So tomorrow it looks like it will be 38 degrees at about 3pm. That should work! Take kid to ice skating, do all the laundry, beg kiddo to nap, probably she won't nap, and then run. Maybe 40 min, maybe 45, maybe an hour? I guess I'll see how cold my butt gets

Sunday is going to be rainy because weather is weird.

Ok, this concludes me typing about running so that I have to back that up with actually running otherwise y'all with think I'm all talk.

Never fails in the spring on the first 40 degree day and people outside with flip flops and shorts on.

I am in the same boat. Try to find the warmest time to run. Why do I live here again?

So true, most of the Patios up North (where I am) try to open on March Break (or around St. Patty's day) and despite it still being quite cool (or down right cold), just becasue their may be sun out, they are full to bursting!

And in the fall... on the first day <60F, I'm in boots and a scarf.

I legit make fun of the people in full parkas when it's 60 out. So at least you haven't gone that far.
I am totally guilty of of not wearing a coat until it is freezing out, but I just may run hot (run pun not intended.)

YEP! Totally me!! I actually just took my winter coat out for the first time this morning. It was a "Feel's Like" of -7.6 fahrenheit-yes, for real...I live in Canada (-20 celcius)

Ha! I am guilty of this by default, especially this time of the year. We have an attached garage, so I don't really think about needing a coat until it's too late and I'm at work. BRRR.

Yes i grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, then spent more time in the crappy weather of the Midwest. Then decided that was not enough cold and spent some time in PA. I am in GA, yes it is hot in the summer and still cold in the winter, but not like is up there. Unfortunately tomorrow i will also be running in cold it will be about 39 F, but i will be running at 7 am and not 3. if i waited it would be a lot nicer.

I will happily take the high 30's for running. Just makes me sad that true Fall weather was so short lived this year. Where was my full month of like 55 degree clear sky perfect days? i think it went from 95 to 35 (I'm being over-dramatic.)

I lived in New Orleans for a while for college so I remember well 72 degree Christmas seasons with no coats! It was probably the hot and humid Augusts that made me eventually move back.

I guess I'll see how cold my butt gets

In my experience, cold butt only happens below 25 degrees, so I think you're good at 38!

I hear you, we got robbed for sure, and I was hoping the snow would hold off until December, but not so.
