Today marked the 10th visit to Disneyland for Ms. Penny! My 7th. Mommy and Penny had to squeeze in one last weekday visit before going on our new work adventure next week. Today's memorable activity was a special screening of "Sleeping Beauty." If you were an annual passholder today you had the opportunity to attend a special screening and stay 2 hours after the park closes. I thought there would be a huge line for this so we drove down early. When I arrived at the front gate there didn't appear to be a ton of people. I got to enter the park at 930amand was one of the very first people in the park. I immediately booked it to the Opera House to register to get my wristband for the movie. I ran up to an employee to ask where the line was and he said I was the first person. I've never been the first person before! I got our wristbands and we had time to get in line for Mickey! What good luck!! We also visited with other characters before seeing the movie at 11am. This was Penny's third movie and she once again did really well! After the movie we got hot dogs and went on some rides til her little eyes could stay awake no longer. We didn't make it to the extra after park hours but we had fun just the same!
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
