The Happiest Place on Earth

I somehow made it 26 years without ever visiting a Disney park. I can officially say that I can never claim that again! And that I believe everyone should go!
I love rides, but usually after a day at a theme park I've fulfilled my need for a while after long lines, the heat and humidity, and crappy expensive food. I want to live at Disneyland ha. There's just so much going on-singing, dancing, Disney characters- all in addition to the rides. And the fast-pass is genius! We only had to wait "significantly" (over thirty minutes) for one ride and it was well worth it. The animations and graphics that accompany some of the rides are just amazing... It feels like briefly living inside some of my favorite Disney films.
And for the first time in so long, I had no issues fitting into a ride!! That was a beautiful thing. I promise I'm going to overwhelm you with more photos once I upload them from my camera but here a preview.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
