Becky from Disney In Your Day challenged me to figure out which five characters I would invite to a Disney Christmas dinner party, so I’m going to start with that because it’s more interesting and festive than anything else I have to say at this time, trust me. This is an unexpectedly difficult question and I had to do some pondering...

Another week mostly spent not in Walt Disney World. Eh. Roll the tape: Sunday | ran 3.08 miles outside in 31 minutes; according to my phone walked an additional 10 or so miles around Walt Disney World And then we left WDW.
Monday | ran 9.08 miles on the treadmill in 1:30 Tuesday | walked...
In Which Jenn Gets An Amazing Running Present
Pat is not a runner. Case in point, consider the following exchange: ME: The Star Wars – Dark Side 5K is still open. Would you like to – PAT: No. ME: I would run it with you – PAT: No. So there’s that. I mean, he’ll run a mile or two for conditioning purposes, but it’s not his thing...

“Alan Tudyk is a national treasure,” my friend Bob posted to social media the other day. “You really must see Moana,” I replied. And then Bob sent me this. JUST LIKE I SAID. This is my Christmas present to you all. Watch it when your mother is driving you nuts. Watch it instead of punching your brother in the...

I know – everyone’s doing it. But how can you not? Last November, I did not set foot in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Not once. Why bother? Rock ‘n Roller Coaster was done, I had no companion goading me into Tower of Terror, and the Great Movie Ride and Star Tours, while fun, are hardly enough to lure me alone....

I always like doing the December Happy Friday post (which is a monthly post of something to make you happy and that’s all!); there are invariably a ton of choices. This year I pondered the possibilities: another wonky Mickey’s Twelve Days of Christmas video? Park background music? Maybe go straight off the rails and share Eddie Izzard’s bit about the...

It’s CHRISTMASTIME! I firmly believe the Christmas season begins on November 1, but as this statement often draws jeers from the crowd I wait for Black Friday like all the boring people to begin celebrating. Well, we have arrived – and we have a Christmas tree! I may or may not have jumped up and down a bit while...

JENN: Merry Christmas Eve! And on that note: injury update! You first. How’s the hip? MOON: I think it’s safe to say I’m good to go. I’ve run 3-4 times this week? I guess I won’t know if it’s completely good until I do a looooong run, but I figure it will take me enough time to build back up that...
Continue readingHappy Friday: What, Like A Good Action Sequence Don’t Belong In Christmas?
Hi there! Jenn here. I considered throwing another Disney Christmas carol at you for our final Happy Friday of the year. After all, it would be thematically appropriate in more ways than one. Instead, my heart won out over my head, and I am presenting you with a video that is unrelated to Disney, running, or anything else directly...
