@MinnieM123 I'm glad you got to be the spy! I'm still waiting for my turnbut at least my boys have been more time than I can count
as for the lockers I like the system maybe because I always have at least one loaded gift card and I hate wearing things on my wrist
Different strokes, I guess. Plus, you're used to the new system, and I assume you probably have a favorite pass code that you use for things. I was just completely caught off-guard by the whole thing.

Happy farm market Saturday, the first of the year
Figgy, you'll laugh at this, but I thought of you Thursday morning, when I was in The Land. While I was on my favorite boat ride through The Land and looking at all the interesting plants in the greenhouse, I actually thought for a moment: this would be Figgy's dream wish here.
You'd take all those plants, cut them up, toss them in a huge bowl, and make a giant salad out of them! You'd be in your glory!!

Did you do Behind the Seeds this year?

Another great money saving tip for Disney food. Go VEGAN
Just curious--does that save you a lot of money? I found most things priced about the same. At the ABC Commissary for example, if you got the Mediterranean salad, that was $10, but if you got it with chicken it was $12.99. (That's only a few dollars difference--not much of a savings.)
Perhaps over the course of a week, that might add up. But I also looked a portion sizes as well. Some places were generous, and others were more skimpy. Unless a salad was more substantial (and I don't mean just more salad greens to fill up the bowl), those choices might not fill me up, if I was more hungry.
An exception might be the vegetable platter at Tangierine Cafe for $12.99.

I'm pretty sure that Heinz rolled out three or four ketchup colors- pink, aqua-green, purple, and then blue (or am I imagining blue?).
It was totally a publicity stunt, and I think the colored ketchup tasted just like regular ketchup, but it was definitely a 90s thing that I'm okay with not returning.

I loved the Guess Who's performance last time I was there.

You're making me blush, but yes
Didn't have time for Behind the Seeds this year. My flight out was early afternoon (I usually stick around WDW and get a much later flight; but had to get home earlier, because hubs had to catch an early flight the next morning). Hence, I really couldn't give up an hour for the tour.
Oh well, maybe next time.

About to go run (and walk) my first 5K! I walked one with a couple of cousins 2 1/2 years ago (got 2nd place in my age group... because there were only three people in the age group, won't be winning anything today), but this is my first time in the running category.
I realized this week that a 5K was over 3 miles, not over 2 like I'd been thinking. So we'll how this goes

I should have been more specific and say that if you are on I-95 headed north or south, at least one stop at SotB is necessary (no more then one). To drive out of your path to see it would be just plain grounds for commitment to a mental institution. It is one of the last of the old time roadside attractions. It has remained because of the traffic on I-95, but, certainly not a destination in and of itself. In other words, one can live a perfectly happy and fulfilled life without ever being aware of its existence. Over time... this too shall disappear.

Another chilly/rainy day here in Chicago. Well maybe all my seeds will start growing that I planted recently. I was hoping that I could get some more yard work done today. However, looking at the weather forecast, I might be able to accomplish something on Monday.

Do you remember
When there was green and purple ketchup?
or remember playing with the parachute in PE Class or when it was called gym class?
or do you remember wondering what Wilson looked like?
Or do you remember Mood Rings?
Or do you remember scented magic markers, yes we were taught to stick a marker to our nose and inhale.
or do you remember these Mickey Mouse watches?
I remember them all. I never got to try the colored ketchup though, my mom said that they were too expensive and would probably be gross.

I have ordered kids meals at quick service places in the past too, it is no big deal. The cast member doesn't know if you are ordering for yourself or someone else and they probably don't care. The chicken nugget meal is a good deal, it comes with a decent amount of nuggets and fries (if that is your choice) and a cookie or fruit choice. Oh and a little thing of milk, Juice or water. I like the kids size waters as they are easy to put in my purse for carrying around for awhile.
Oh, and we usually get the kids sized Mickey waffle meal for breakfast, it has a two full size Mickey waffles and choice of bacon or sausage (or if you ask nicely one of each) and the kids size drink. It is much cheaper than the adult breakfast and it fills me up.
