forever and a day old

after pro-ing and con-ing for days on end, i decided to go to Disneyland on my birthday yesterday after all and it was FREE :) i kept waiting for the catch... but there was none... it was indeed entirely 100% free. and i get to go back for a second day for free... how very strange and un-Disney-esque! Danny kind of liked it (i think... we stayed two hours before he begged to go home - "puweeez Mama!") i am still wondering if $5.42 a month is too much to upgrade to a pass. yup, i am that keen on the place ;)

i am getting a heat rash on my legs from excessive laptop use. i am totally addicted to walkscore.com - every single house in America is graded on how many libraries/schools/grocery stores/restaurants are walking distance from it! it is the best invention since being able to drive around neighborhoods with google maps looking whether houses have mailboxes by the curb, in a communal cluster of 20 mailboxes, or by each front door (must be by the front door or i can't live there). anyway now i am househunting in soooooo many states, i have to toggle between realtor.com, google maps and walkscore to find out how many minutes/miles to Albertsons, Supertarget and Superwalmart. can you believe some places don't have an Albertsons? at all - never mind within walking distance. that means some Americans don't have hot fresh bread everyday at 4pm. such places actually exist and thankfully i have the internet to keep me safe from them.

snapshots from the happiest place on earth. i find it hard to say that without adding the silent "cr" to happy :) and i really really should love disneyland because we spent many wonderful carefee dates there (not to mention second date) in the days of yore... before exploding bags of pretzel goldfish, getting home for naptime and lenses complicated life. back in the days when you could park right outside the turnstiles and California Adventure was a space age idea. i am soooooooooo old.
