Laundry FastPass Requested

Posted on May 4, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Coming back from a vacation can be a reality check. After a week away, it is hard to jump into school, work, cleaning, and especially all of the laundry that accumulated over a week in this magical destination:

Ready to go back

The last thing I want to think about is all of the dirty clothing, unused clothing, and other items sitting in these bags that need to be put away and washed. Yes, I am hereby officially demanding a FastPass to get done with laundry. For those familiar with Walt Disney World and other Disney parks, you will get that reference. For others, FastPass allows you to get a pass for a ride to come back during a specific time to ride with a minimal wait.

So my question to you this week:

How long does it usually take you to unpack, wash laundry, and put everything away after a vacation?

It's Me

Disclosure: Although we paid for our own trip to Disney World to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, we were given an incredible deal from Disney. Also note that Disney never asked us to blog about this event. As a long time Disney fan, it is my pleasure to share my experiences from the event.

Hello from Disney Social Media Moms Celebration 2012

Posted on April 27, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

This year, TechyDad and I were both lucky enough to be invited back to the 2012 Disney Social Media Moms Celebration at Walt Disney World. The memories that we have from the past and the ones we are making right now will last a life time.

Last year at DisneySMMoms, the speakers were amazing, inspiring, and truly taught me a lot that I have used in life and the Social Media World. In 2011, I listened to these magical individuals:

This year the line up is:

While at SheStreams in September, I was able to snap this photo of Rene Syler and Lisa Druxman after they spoke to us there.

So my question to you this week:

Who would you love to hear talk at a conference and why? It does not have to be about social media, it could be about any topic of interest to you.

Also note that Disney never asked us to blog about this event. As a long time Disney fan, it is my pleasure to share my experiences from the event.

Snapple Memories Revived

Posted on April 20, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

While in college, I developed a few not too wonderful habits. Though I had no interest in drinking alcoholic beverages, I was very addicted to Mountain Dew for breakfast and Snapple Ice Tea for lunch. Several years into school, I kicked most caffeine intake to help with my headaches. That lasted until my little guy was born and suddenly I needed a small amount of caffeine to keep my headaches away.

With the warm weather coming quickly, coffee is not always an option. While my beverage of choice is usually water in my giant Nalgene water bottle, I do like to have a special treat. Rather than crave chocolate, I now like to treat myself to a cold glass of this:

Snapple Love

Yes, this is a giant bottle of Snapple Diet Peach Ice Tea that lasts me quite a while. Of course, it brings me back to my college days. I think I missed this, but will admit that there is no desire to restart my Mountain Dew habit.

Aside from a cold glass of water during the warmer months, what is your beverage of choice?

It's Me

Selecting Phone Sounds

Posted on April 13, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Two weeks ago, Violet came into my life. If you do not know who Violet is, let me introduce you.

Violet says hello

Yes, Violet is my first Smartphone and I had to name her. At first, I felt a little Bionic-ly challenged when she came into my life, but now I love the flexibility she allows me to have with her features.

One of the items I was most excited about was setting ring tones for different people, places, and things. It’s the little things in life some days. I had a lot of fun with this. While looking at phones one day, the woman at the store happened to mention an app called Zedge. This was the first item that I put on the phone (Instagram came out a few days after we got the phones).

Zedge time

At first, I put a notification sound that was just too much. Although I love Beaker from The Muppets, he was over the top. Right now, it sounds like Mario is here collecting coins when I get a text or e-mail. Then, it was time for music. For TechyDad, I selected a little of The Big Bang Theory Song. Let me tell you, I almost had Sheldon saying Bazinga for him. For my father, it had to be Elvis. Still not sure what to keep for my mother, but my son likes the Adele tune and keeps singing along when she calls me. Others have been selected for a few other people, but I still need just the right ones for others. Oh, I will never admit who the Jaws Theme was selected for.

So my question to you this week:

What ring tones do you use on your phone and is there a special story behind them?

It's Me

Extra Hour Wishes

Posted on April 6, 2012 12:00 am by TheAngelForever

Right now, I really wish I was here:

Disney Dreaming

The reality is that I am at home getting ready to have two Passover Seders at our house Friday and Saturday evenings. So I will be looking for a hidden Mickey in my matzoh, but not sure that will happen. Hmmmm….

Wishing for Mickey Matzah

So while I am off helping TechyDad get everything ready, I leave you with a not too serious question.

If you had three extra hours in the day that were just for you, how would you use that time?

It's Me
