Vinylmation Update

I came home from work the other night and low and behold hubby had a surprise for me. He had a set of brand new only 1000 in the world Ducktails Vinylmation. After an especially long and hard day it was a nice surprise. Ducktails had to be one of my all time favorite cartoons when I was a tween. I remember watching a lot of it after school in middle school. I can still recall the song in my head but mind you of course I probably don't remember the lyrics exactly as I should. Ducktails WooHoo!



My Vinyl addiction has now introduced me to another addiction and that would be eBay and "winning." Believe it or not I had only used eBay a handful of times before and usually I would use the "Buy It Now" function. I had never participated in an auction nor new how it worked. So of course there was something on eBay I wanted and I had to find out how "to win" so I enlisted Hubby' help with explaining the auction process. It took me probably 2-3 weeks before I completely understood what all the bidding meant. anyhow, the first Vinyl I bought on eBay was a Princess Leia figure for under retail.



After winning that I went into a flurry of "watching" aka marking items you want to track until the auction is over but work as you can imagine made me miss a lot of items I wanted. I was able to log on for 5 minutes one after just in time, with one minute left on the clock to bid for a Minnie Mouse figurine I desperately wanted and low and behold, I won.



Now I know why people called eBay evil because you can get a high off trying to beat other people. I try to use it for good deals or when I can't trade for something I want.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
