Here's one of my new favorite blog hops today:
Three Things Thursday!

Since I already have a blog (and three blogs preceding this one) what haven't I already shared?

Once Upon a Time there was a princess who...

1.) LOVES running.
I blame my love of Disney for my love of running as the women's magazine advertisements for the Disney Princess Half Marathon inspired me to start running in the first place.


My running buddies back in the day.
One of my previous blogs "Lori's Running Start" actually focused on my love of running. I've run 5K's, five milers, half marathons and virtual marathons. I'm slowly easing back in after quite a while off of running (doctor's orders!) and hope to be able to be back up to running the Castaway Cay 5K next November. Then my dear friend and once college roommate and I have plans to run the Disney Princess Half Marathon in 2015 or 2016!

2.) Really Is In Need Of A Manicure And Pedicure.
Not so much for the relaxation time as for the aesthetics.
My poor cuticles have seen far better days.
I'll spare you a picture.

3.) Was On A Ridiculous Almond Butter Kick.
I mean seriously ridiculous.
I eat it on oatmeal.
I eat it on toast.
I eat it on pear slices.

Almond Butter and Jam Thumbprint cookies!

I've baked it into brownies and cookies and cakes.
I've blended it into smoothies.
If I'm feeling lazy I've eaten it with a spoon.
Yummmm.

If you don't mind I'm off to go make some oatmeal for breakfast.

    I want to like running - I really do! I hated gym class and running the mile in school. I'm just not athletic. But, I really want to learn to enjoy running enough to maybe do a 5K one of these days. LOL We'll see. Almond butter and a pedicure - both sound pretty great right about now!

Disney Cruise Line 101 ~ What Not To Wear

Image
Although Disney lists limits on dress (no swimwear in the dining rooms, etc.) here on their website, what exactly do people "normally" wear?   I've got you covered. Formal, Semi-Formal, Cruise Casual, Optional Dress Up, or Pirate will be noted as the evening attire on the front corner of your Personal Navigator each day. So let's break those down Formal These evenings, most guests seem to go with somewhere in the range of "Sunday Best" to cocktail dress. Some opt for tuxes and ball gowns (when else can you really wear one?) Jackets, although requested on the website, seem pretty rare. Dark slacks and a button down are more common.  Rocking the sweater vests and tiaras. The little princesses often choose a favorite costume from their wardrobe (yes, leftover Halloween costumes, tiaras and fairy wings are welcome) while the boys range from tiny suits to khakis and sweater vests and full length jeans are not unheard of in the elementary set. ...
