Tower of Terror & Aladdin Actors

Tower of Terror is THE BEST. Who doesn't like falling down an elevator? LOL! It never gets boring because no matter how many times you ride, the drop will surprise you EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. and your stomach will go up into your throat. Good times. My purse went flying up in the air as well, even though the strap was around my arm. It is even fun to go through the line/queue because the theming and decorations are so damn cool. It's kind of like the haunted mansion, but with a "Twilight Zone" twist. It's a must-ride.

As we were walking around, all of a sudden "Aladdin" and "Jasmine" appeared, so we had to stop and get a pic. Here is Jim with the pretty lady and the pretty man. Jim looks frightened, doesn't he? LOL.

Splash Mountain

OMG I'm laughing so hard right now! Look at how WET my hair is!

This ride is such a HOOT! It's a good thing it is hot out today, because I am completely SOAKED from head to toe! I couldn't stop laughing when the tidal wave of water came over our log. I mean, it was insane. The heavier the log, the more likely to get soaked, so that doesn't go well for me, LOL.

I feel like a kid today, and it's a good feeling. I wish I could feel this way every day. I now have the theme song to this ride in my head and can't get it out. It's pretty silly. I'm silly.

Disneyland Again!

At Disneyland again, it is much cooler today. Thank God! I thought I was going to die last time. More pics to come!

The sign lies, they kick you out at midnight. :)

Mocha Frappuccino at the Coffee Bean!

I can tell by all the enthusiastic comments that my posts are thrilling you beyond belief. What can I say? I am a super exciting girl. To excite you further, I have captured the beauty of my new favorite coffee shop here in California, "The Coffee Bean", or as my mother calls it "The Green Bean" (She always gets words mixed up), which makes me laugh of course and make fun of her, which she loves. Haha.

Mocha Frappuccino, NUMMERS!

Lazy afternoon.

Everyone has been snoozing, including the dog. I love this time of the day here; it is cool and breezy with pretty sunsets.

The pics include the view from my bedroom balcony, the pool of course, and my lazy pooch. We had a late lunch at Carl's Jr., and now I'm hungry again. Crap.

Fancifying

It's all about my hair today. I straightened it, and since that takes so much time, y'all are gonna see it. I even did pig tails. Silly, I know. I also needed to inform the world that The Body Shop's Coconut Body Butter is the shizzle.

I'm going shopping today, that's why all the fancifying. LOL.

Ravioli, Nails & Skinny Dipping

It's kind of been a shit day, I hate to say. Welcome to my life. I'm not going to get into it because I want to salvage the rest of the night. I'm trying so hard to have a good time, but it's like I'm fighting the forcing of darkness, I swear!

Right now, I'm sitting out on the patio enjoying the warm evening breeze. As soon as it gets dark, I think I'll do the skinny-dipping thing again. I really need to move into a place with a pool, I like this naughty swimming thing. It is so freeing! The water is very still and very refreshing. I like to float on my back and look at the stars at night; it is so quiet and peaceful. It's really cold getting out, though! Yikes!

My stupid pictures are as follows: My dinner of ravioli in a tomato cream sauce with shrimp (from Biagio's!), and I am proud that I have not yet broken one single nail! This is a record! I know you will quickly copy those pics and use them as wallpaper, because they are so cool. Maybe I'll use them as wallpaper. It would be SO me to have ravioli as wallpaper. I'm mental. Not my fault.

Grumpy People

This would only happen to me!

Massive grumpiness abounds today. It's not me this time, surprisingly. I don't really know what to do. I guess I'll swim and spend a lot of time underwater to drown it all out. LOL. I could also bury myself in my laptop, play with the Crackberry, use my camera, go get coffee by myself, or any other number of distractions to keep out of the line of fire. That is my escape plan.

I know I am the one who is a grumpy ass most of the time, but on vacation I try not to be! Not now! However, there is some other force that seems to be at work to take me down, and I'm not having it! Help me. I think maybe I need to spend some time in prayer or something. Only God can fix my life, because I have certainly failed to. It just figures, doesn't it? GAH!

More Laguna Beach Photos!

A Day at Laguna Beach

I had a really nice day at Laguna beach. I took some random shots of things I thought were cool-looking, and of course the ever-famous toes-buried-in-the-sand picture. I also tried to get a shot of the last of my sunburn. Because I know you care.

Had a teriyaki chicken sand (the "sand" part is just for you Hole) for lunch at Hennessey's Tavern. Scrumptious.

Teaser Pictures

Teaser beach pics, I mainly used my good camera, so you'll have to wait.

Beach-Bound

Well, I'm supposed to be beach-bound today, that is if I can walk. My calves are worse today than they were yesterday! My sunburn is turning brown now, so I'm allowed back in the sun. HA. I'll post lots of pics later, K?

Midnight Margarita

A little midnight margarita in a Tupperware cup. Whatever works, right? Then I did a little skinny dippin'; albeit alone, but still fun! Yeehaw! LOL. I know, I need help.

Louie goes swimming.

Lou-bear went swimming today. He did not like it. It was pretty funny, though.

Sixteen Hours

OMG. I cannot walk. My body hates me. Sixteen hours at Disneyland almost killed me. Blisters, more sunburn, and MY CALVES. If I walk, I cry, if I flex my foot, I scream and fly onto the roof. Next vacation will require no walking. I feel so OLD.

Oh, and I'm going back to Disneyland on Monday. (Shakes head in hands.) I have been in bed most of the day, and now I seriously need to go find coffee.

Bengal BBQ & Hair Frizz

My hair is frizzing into oblivion, and for lunch we had Bengal BBQ hot and spicy skewers which were YUMMY. I was surprised because Disney food generally sucks. Waiting now to get on "Soarin' over California" with our "Fast Pass".

Thunder Mountain

Wheee!

Fun but it's fricking HOT.

My Beloved Space Mountain

Space Mt. Rocks!

Embracing my inner child.

Getting ready for Disneyland Resort! Yes, I am 8 years old. You have to embrace your inner child sometimes. Yup, I'm taking the Crackberry. Shut up.

Peeping Landscapers

I'm a little cranky, or so I'm told. The air-conditioning broke, and I hurt my toe the day before Disneyland. Mother of hell. Then there were the neighbor's Mexican landscapers staring down at me swimming when I was here alone. It's a good thing I took 8 years of Spanish. I said a few things and they smiled and shaped right up. LOL. Then I took his picture. Don't mess with CrazyDogMama.

More advice from Dr. Juice.

Also advice from Dr. Juice. To kill the sunburn pain. I am lucky, though, it will go in as a tan for me. Which rocks.

Dr. Juice

Taking Dr. Juice's advice with the Aloe. We're off to Disneyland tomorrow!

Lobstered

CRAP. I lobstered myself. Going to have to stay in the shade today. Oh well, guess I'll have to sip margaritas and play on the Crackberry. It's a tough life here. I have to be careful with the tequila, because it is truth serum for me, and I'm already TMI girl. Plus, it makes me do other questionable things.

Come on in, the water's fine!

Maxin' the relaxin'.

In order to keep from sizzling myself, I'm taking a break from the sun and sitting at the home bar playing on the laptop with a margarita. I wish this was my life EVERY DAY.

Biagio's pizza to the rescue.

Even vacations for me have a dark side. (Bet you've never heard that before from someone on vacation.) My poor grandpa who is in a Demetia home here, fell yesterday and we got a call. My mom and I went down to the hospital at 8pm last night. He is OK, but it was very hard to see him.

On a lighter note, California speed limits are higher than Washington's, and I feel like Mario freakin' Andretti when I drive.

I did get to go pick up some of my favorite pizza last night (YUM) but Mr. Cuervo had to be put on hold. Such is life.

Pure Bliss

Took a most refreshing swim and now it is nappy time in the sun, suckers!

Arrival

CrazyDogMama has ARRIVED! Um, sorry about more icky feet pics, but the first thing I had to do was stick them in the pool. And here is my buddy Jose Cuervo, although a tad early to start with the margaritas. I'll wait an hour. LOL.

We do have some earthquake damage. *sigh*

Passing Magic Mountain

We'll be there in an hour or so. We're dead. Need sleep.

Pics include some lake near the Grapevine, and Magic Mt. which I loved as a teen, but have been informed by Juice and Hole that the late 30's and crazy rollercoasters don't pair as well as expected. Noted.
