Glitter makes everything more fun

I think I have ADD, because sometimes I feel like I can't just sit and watch TV - I have to be doing something else.  (Actually I think a more appropriate term for what I have is ADOS - see below.)

When I was younger, I used to color, make jewelry, sculpt or draw while watching my favorite movies and shows, but I guess I've gotten pretty lazy and boring because now all I do is eat Capt'n Crunch.....
Luckily for my waistline, I was in charge of getting the decorations for the latest YSA dance, and because I had a pretty difficult time finding stuff for the "Awesome 80's" theme (unless I wanted to shell out a ton of money on ebay), my sister suggested I make some of the wall hangings for the dance. 

And, because I'm me, I made them sparkly. :)

If only I'd had more time, I would've made a giant Rubix Cube.  Oh, well - maybe next year!

What is the statute of limitations......

......on time between blog posts?

Since I don't know, I'm hoping that - if there IS one - I can slip this in under the wire. **Insert smiley face.**
I really don't know how I let so much time go by without a post, and the worst thing about it is....is really doesn't make any difference because I mainly do this blog for me.  And my dad.  (Hi, Daddy!)

Here are a few of the highlights from the past couple of months that I failed to mention - perhaps one of them will get a full blog post in the future....

1. Gina and I hit up Disney World

They now have Kermit and R2-D2 Mickey Ears.  How awesome is that??

We saw the Castle lit up.....

















And fell in love all over again with Donald Duck.  (Check out his cute winter outfit.)

 2. My obsession with "Despicable Me" and "Tangled" began

 You MUST see these movies!!

I really want a pet chameleon....
































And a boat ride like this......

And I wouldn't mind one of these.

3.  Reunited with Mick after 5 years!

 My uber-successful bestest bud took time out from rockin' Z104.3 FM for a little visit to Florida, and we had a chance to catch up (once I found my way through the maze of confusion that are the Florida roadways).
Hopefully we can get together again in LESS than 5 years - maybe for some spaghetti.
 
4.  All of the Gabriel siblings were together for Christmas for the first time in 5 years!

Joy, Joe, Mia, Me and Gina - it was the best Christmas ever!!!!

 
5. The annual trip to the Grand Floridian to see the Christmas decorations

As always, it was gorgeous!

6.  Daddy-Daughters Sushi Date (and "Tangled" again)

Sushi + "Tangled" = Super fun Daddy-Daughters Date. 
Seriously, what could be better??

No Unagi, but the Sweet Potato Roll was pretty darn good, too!

Gina and Daddy huddle to keep warm.  The restaurant had great food, but was FREEZING!!

7.  We made Dessert Sushi

Take some Rice Krispies Treats, Fruit By the Foot, Swedish Fish, and presto!  Dessert Sushi!  (Thanks to Gina for finding such a gem!)

 
8.. Gina and I hit up Disney again.....

And we met the characters from "Tangled"!!!!
(Yes, I waited in line for an hour and a half to meet them.  I am not ashamed.)

This is the best profile picture I've had since the one of me in the T-Rex's mouth.

And I got "Tangled" crayons and a coloring page.  Best. Day. Ever.

These are just a few of the highlights!  Hopefully I'll do better at keeping the good ol' blog up to date.  Especially for you, Dad. (**Insert winky smiley here.**)  TTFN.
