Pack With Me For Walt Disney World!
Hello and welcome back to another pre-Disney wardrobe rundown! If nothing else, it helps me assemble my packing list. Also back: my terrible photos. I swear, every time I go to shoot these pictures the weather conspires to make my already sketchy lighting conditions ABYSMAL. It was overcast the whole frickin’ time. Well, you can still get the idea....

That Time I Was Targeted By Disney Scammers
I could start this post by simply launching into the story of how I was once targeted by Disney scammers, but I’m an ADHD kid – I bury the lede by nature. So first I have to tell you how we got here: Pat and I have been receiving a fair number of phishing text messages lately, plus I’ve...
