The Muppet Animal jumping for joy. It is a bit of a spoiler for today’s connections, but anyone who follows me would be a Muppets fan.
Boom Baby.
A large German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois (sorry can’t remember which) sitting in front of a SWAT vehicle. He is happily posing for a group photo with kids who are cropped out of the frame
I met this good boy yesterday. Hannibal works for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. He was supposed to be a bite dog, but works in narcotics because he was too nice. All the kids got to pet him.
A thin mints Frosty in front of a Wendy’s bag. There’s a bacon cheeseburger and fries inside the bag.
My meager willpower stood no chance against the barrage of Wendy’s ads MRN is playing during the race. The thin mints frosty is worth it tho 😏
I drove to Washington county (central time) Friday, ran a one day family camp program there yesterday, then came back home last night in time to spring forward. I’m doing great today. 😴🤪
Sissy and I spent a small fortune on a bag from the m&ms store at Springs last weekend. I threw some of the peanut butter cinnamon roll in. I liked them. It’s an interesting flavor.
The Daily Grind, local burger joint in Port Orange FL. Had the best burgers ever. Didn’t make it through the pandy.
They were responsible for about 50% of my college weight gain, enjoyed many a late night chicken finger box. (The rest came from Pokey sticks)
Styrofoam take out container including a piece of Texas toast, fries, chicken fingers, and secret sauce that is basically zesty thousand island.
Finally checked out our new Raisin Cane’s. It really is just Guthrie’s. Which is fine…but surprised at the hype.
Princess Weekend Beer cup full of a red fruity beer. It’s called Pace Setter Splash. The 5k medal featuring Merida running in front of a bear claw is leaning on the cup.
I could either wait behind the “end of line sign” for a chance to meet Merida…or definitely get beer. I feel like I chose wisely.

Here we goooooo!!’ 😃
Early morning pic of Spaceship Earth lit up with her twinkle lights.
Hey Girl, Hey.
Screenshot of alarms set at 2:42, 3:21, and 3:35 dame am. They say wake up, make haste, go! Go now!
Guess what time it is! It’s a Great Day for a 5k! 🤓
I call BS on the purple being harder/more obscure than the blue 🐓

Split screen photo. On the left a menu of February valentines cocktails. On the right a pink cocktail in a wine glass with a strawberry garnish. It’s Cupid’s punch sangria.
Top left: a Miss Piggy Funko pop, top right potato soup with seasoned crackers, bottom two mini cheesecakes and a large chocolate covered strawberry.
Went out for a girls Valentines dinner with 3 coworkers. Scored some cute presents and had a fantastic dinner.
Hey y’all, the public hearing on this rule is happening now and the Department representative is giving a canned response to all concerns about the protections for LGBTQ youth in out of home care. If you care about this issue, and have time to read the rule and leave a relevant comment please do.
My feelings about daytime sub freezing temperatures in the Deep South where I live:
Ugh…so close 🙇♀️

A sandwich board outside Raglan Road advertising National Irish Coffee day. You buy the coffee, they buy the whiskey.
An Irish Coffee in a glass. It’s topped with a beautiful foam.
Picture of the Raglan Road stage. There is a large screen in the back featuring a pasture full of sheep.
Upside of Sissy having a late January birthday: back at Raglan Road on National Irish Coffee day. Seated practically on the stage. Brunch is going to be loud. 🤓🐑
A white paper cone filled with a red bubbly waffle encasing colorful popcorn, chicken nuggets, and a few pieces of mozzarella.
The chicken & waffles from the Odyssey is surprisingly tasty. And they give you a good size portion of nugs. 10/10 The sour beer is also great.
We are also doing FARTS today. Moseying over on the Skyliner now. Next: coffee! 😎
A sculpture of two large dinosaurs, probably T Rexes, fighting over a cheeseburger they each have in their mouth. It sits atop a shelf in Restaurantosaurus.
It belongs in a museum! 🤓
(Paid our last respects to Dr. Seeker and the Dino Institute.
Now sippin on fountain cherry coke and chilling)
My hand holding a Mickey Premium Bar. You can see the Art of Animation curtains in the background.
Proof that Sissy loves me and wants me to be happy. She bought my drunk ass a Mickey Premium Bar. 😊
Update: we decided to leave early to beat the post HEA crowd, so I am drunk on a bus 🫠🤪
A souvenir mug from Beak & Barrel bar filled with Plunderer’s Punch. It is shaped like a pirate’s skull wearing a bandana and eye patch.
We’re here for Sissy’s birthday tomorrow, but I might be going a bit too hard. 🫠

This is the first time my hot flashes have continued on into winter. So feel like I’m dealing with it on extra hard level. My old sissy FL kid strategies of two pairs of socks, three shirts, etc don’t work when I feel like I’m on fire and wish I could rip off all my clothes. The rest of the time 🥶🙇♀️
A buff tabby cat sitting on a blanket covered lap. His eyes and ears are perked up due to a mystery sound outside.
Have to pee, but must not disturb kitty. I’m definitely losing this game of chicken because he’s already put his head back down and is sleeping.
A blue and white Star Wars Starbucks you are here mug themed to the ice planet Hoth. It is filled with hot chocolate topped with chocolate whipped cream. Next to it is a container of cinnamon hot chocolate mix that looks like a tiny coffee to go cup with Stitch printed on it.
Figured the Hoth mug is appropriate for tonight’s hot chocolate. Also I just successfully finished off a half gallon of milk before it went bad. Feel like I should get adult points for that.
Yep. Mr. Rogers was my first Presbyterian minister. (I was also radicalized by Pete’s Dragon and Fraggle Rock)
