Hair Color and Cruising

Image
My friend and I were experimenting with temporary hair color WHILE we recorded my podcast so I promised my listeners that I would post photos of the process. This is the product we used. Not too bad for a first try! I was curious to see if it would show up on the dark portions of my hair. If you haven't heard the podcast just Google, Not Strictly Disney and you can find it on just about anywhere podcasts are available.

Galaxy's Edge - Looking Back

The excitement is mounting for Galaxy's Edge now that everyone knows the opening date at Disneyland. You can find pictures all over the Internet like this one. But I thought it would be fun to see just how far we've come! These were taken from the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure a while back.  What a difference! And just in case you are wondering, I took these photos on July 10, 2016.

There were many tempting choices on their new menu but I immediately knew what I wanted. I chose the cheeseburger and I was not disappointed. Loot at that thing! It's gorgeous! And huge! And juicy! Do not wear long sleeves when eating this burger. The juices ran down my hand and on my sleeves. Why didn't I roll up my sleeves? I had no idea I was gong to bathe in burger!

The rains have kept me away for the Park but I did manage to run over there one day and absorb the atmosphere. I really needed it! The Teacups weren't running that day so I stood there and simply admired them... And now, an announcement. (Insert sound of trumpets playing here, LOL.) A lot of you know that I was a regular on the Disneyland Gazette podcast. I loved doing the show with my buddies and I dearly miss it. So... I've decided to start my own podcast. It won't be as fancy as the Gazette but my entire heart will be in it. Yes, I will bring you Disneyland related tidbits and recordings from the Park because those were always popular with the listeners. But I will also talk about other things that interest me such as travel, food, photography and the paranormal. So take a minute to check it out and please tell your friends!  Thanks!!
