Not growning up!

Tillymint and I are going to go and live in Universal Studios, Orlando. We've decided! She says its the best place in the world and I'm inclined to agree with her! I didn't go on 'experience' nearly half the rides but was totally blown away by the whole place!

Day 1!

They certainly know how to build a Theme Park!

Tilly and Tilly's Friend cartooned!


We spent 9 ½ hours in there one day...goodness knows how far we walked or how many bottles of water we drank (gosh was it hot!)

Looks like I'm supper!

(I did feel such a plonker posing for this...I hate having my picture taken)

It's just like living in the TV!

Of course, this is just a ride...I saw the real Spidey in the shop later.

The colours and shapes were amazing...I was like a kid in a sweet shop

This Ice Cream parlour was great

Yeah...they look ready for anything!

Blocked Qi?

I've returned from our holiday with a singular lack of enthusiasm for anything.

Summer is always slack for me on eBay and the web site and I was going to take the opportunity of the 6 week break from school to build up my stock of 'stuff' in readiness for Christmas. I'd made notes of slogans for badges, been inspired with colours for charm bracelets...but can I sit down and create? NOPE!

So, I decided, maybe - just maybe- my workshop was the problem (see Organised Chaos). Maybe I had a blockage.....maybe all those positive energy vibes were taking one look through the window then heading for the hills!
Well, three hours later and half a wheelie bin of crap lighter, it looks fabulous.
Of course, I'm too knackered to do anything now.
Maybe tomorrow......

Jet-lag sucks

So far the desire to see strange new worlds just about out-weighs the terror of flying...but its a close call. I think I'll need to put in some serious therapy to get my panic under control if we're to step foot on a 'plane again.
Then, of course, if we will insist on long-haul there's the 3-4 days (if you're lucky) of body-clock mayhem when we return. I managed a day at work then had to call in sick with the almighty mother of a migraine. We still can't sleep and we've been back a week! (Maybe that's just depression at the thought of real life catching up with us again).
Note for self improvement: dump the negativity!
