Penny is almost to the 20 visit mark! I'd say she is one very lucky little girl. We headed to Disneyland at a leisurely pace and arrived around 11am. Today, we entered the park by horse drawn carriage. We caught it at the beginning of Main Street and it took us to Sleeping Beauty's Castle. After disembarking the carriage we decided to find ourselves some princesses. We found 3! Princess Ariel, Snow White, and Princess Tiana, one of Penny's favorites. After meeting the princesses we went and found ourselves some ice cream and sat and ate our treat at Mickey's Magical Map, an awesome stage show that is just new at Disneyland. The show was excellent, very entertaining with cool hard to find characters like Sorcerer Mickey, Mulan, Pocahantas, and King Louie. When the show ended a bunch of confetti fired out from the rafters and Penny and I have funny playing around with it. Next we went to "Its A Small World" and Penny and I couldn't stand the singing anymore. Just kidding. Penny loves that ride. Isn't her Elvis impression really good? Afterward we rode the storybook ride which Penny wasn't too happy about. She was clearly hungry so we headed over to Tomorrowland Terrace. Penny was happy once again when she got her chocolate milk. After lunch we all learned how to become Jedi's at Jedi Training. Penny really wanted to participate but you have to be 4 years old. Soon Penny. Soon. She loved the sword's so much we had to cave and get her one at the gift shop. While we were there we checked out other Jedi merchandise. We tried to hit up the Tiki Room but someone wanted ice cream so we left the Tiki Room and headed to Gibson Girl and we all got ice cream. Penny even stole the rest of my Mint Chocolate Chip Cone. See the picture, two cones! Always a good time!
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....
