much adoo

Here's a quick little peek into what we actually did this evening. I'm feeling a little under the weather, typing this in secret as we play Borderlands (Jason's in the bedroom on the other Xbox since we're playing with a friend....yup, we own 2 Xboxes from living apart), and definitely not dressed up. I used the laziest date night cards from the ones Jason gave me in Disney : pizza date night and online shopping! Here's a quick peek into the evening and my top photos at the night (and honestly, some of my favorite from the phone, especially the one of Teemo!) as seen through my HTC One X+ :

Teemo is being adorable! Tomorrow is our two year anniversary together!

Jason and Raynor like to cuddle on the couch together.

We went searching for a new dress for me with the online shopping car. I'm obsessed with Book of Deer and Jason decided the Kindling dress was 'the one'.

Most of the evening was spent eating a cheap thin crust pizza and playing Borderlands & Borderlands 2 on Xbox.

My husband Jason and I decided to do a really early Valentine's Day celebration while we were in Disney and get a nice hotel room for one night. We really want to visit and stay in each of Disney's hotels in our life, and the one night stay while we are there is a great way to do it. We chose Port Orleans Riverside, a Louisana river themed hotel near downtown Disney. It was a really pretty hotel and we loved wandering around the grounds and seeing everything.

We then ventured to Epcot for dinner and margaritas in the Mexico Pavillion at San Angel Inn. Jason gave me my Valentine's gift - an R2D2 heart box I had been wanting and hand made cards I can cash in for date nights. One set of cards is 'date nights' like 'fancy dinner' or 'Disney Date' and the other set is activities to pair with them like 'online shopping'.

I wanted to wear heels, but I was walking nearly 11 miles a day according to the pedometer. Here's the true image of what was going on. And PS. I always wear these tights technically backwards. I like them better this way.

I love birds, and it only makes sense that I have an animal themed DIY early in the new year, especially a nail one. Plus, this one is appropriately themed for Valentine's day - birds AND hearts. Feel free to only do hearts or just birds too -I chose bird silhouettes so they didn't get too overly complicated here.

I think Snow White is the most inspiring princess in terms of clothing because of her dress's primary colors and the fact she hangs out with a bunch of forest animals. Which is totally what inspired me to try and lump together a few woodland animals with my new woodgrain Tumbleweed sunnies all together for a day in Hollywood Studios. Ever noticed that most Disney princesses have animal friends they hang around with? I like to think that it's super stylish and that Teemo would be my talking sidekick if we were a Disney cartoon.

Visiting the New Fantasyland was quite a neat experience, though strange, because there is a giant construction site in the middle of all this new, beautiful decor. I was most excited about the new Beauty and the Beast area, because if I have to give a favorite princess, it's definitely Belle. For the record, I was obsessed with 101 Dalmations as a kid, and my all time favorite is Lilo & Stitch. I planned this outfit to be a take on Belle's yellow ball gown with gold accents, which was perfect since we ended the evening with dinner at the new Be Our Guest Restaurant.
