Downtown Disney Day

We had an absolute blast with our friends on Tuesday. It was so nice to have a day off with everyone and do something different and just hang out. After breakfast we did a little shopping. Of course it was a gorgeous Florida day, we haven't had too many lately because the weather has been chilly, but its back and it was perfect. I had forgotten my bathing suit and shorts and such, so I had to got to Target and pick up some, I know twist my arm.

I picked up an awesome shirt too...



Then we just hung out at their hotel, which had a heated pool and of course not a cloud in the sky..


After a couple of hours, we were ready to head back to our place and unwind some more and get ready for the evening. James and I both took a nap and then showered and dressed..




We are pretty cute if I do say so myself..

Downtown Disney was pretty close to where we were all staying which was nice, but of course we found a way to get lost. But once we got there it was a great evening. I couldn't get a lot of pictures because it was so dark, but the whole area was a fun atmosphere. I even went to the Fit2Run that is there! I got a new T-shirt, post tomorrow, and some chomps for my race. The Princess Half Marathon is there this weekend, so the store was packed with runners. I could live there I love that store and so happy I got to get a Disney type running shirt from there.

We stopped into stores, had a night cap drink and ate at Earl of Sandwich because the Rainforest Cafe was a half and 45 minute wait. I mean really?! nothing is worth waiting that long. Earl of Sandwich turned out to be exactly what we wanted. Soup and sandwiches never are a bad option in my book. The two little girls had a great time, seeing the lights and people and music everywhere. We went into a huge Disney store and got a coffee mug (which I accidentally broke the next day) and a magnet of course. We walked a lot, I earned 5 activity points and was sad to say goodbye.

It was a great little day trip and I think just what James and I needed. It was awesome to get away, see a little bit of home and be away from our regular lives, we have vowed to do this more often, even if no family or friends are in town.

Here are some pictures from the night..

   


These were all made out of legos..pretty neat to see..





She loved to grab onto his finger. It was the cutest thing. I absolutely fell in love with her.



All the girls!


Of course I found Sparkly Minnie Ears to try on!!


Not Disney related but it was a delicious end to a great day. And worth every point!

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
