Pixar Weekend @ Epcot


How cool is this....

This year the theme of the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival revolves around the Pixar characters and apparently now they are going to have speakers from Pixar actually at Epcot to talk about the process of animation and their work... How cool is that??????

I have already signed us (Ricky and I) up to go and I am extremely excited. Granted I have registered us for somewhere close to 7 hours worth of lectures, but to get to hear the actual Pixar people speaking about their work should be incredible.

A huge thanks to Ricky for finding this information among his travels across the interwebs!!!

2011 = 30x2

Before you go and tell me that my math is entirely wrong, I am well aware of the glaring errors in my calculations... however considering that it is not a math problem at all, but instead of clever way to stating that, "In 2011 two people are turning 30," I'd say it does its job.

Both Ricky and I turn 30 this year and we have decided that the need to celebrate is stronger than ever. For those of you who experienced the Pirate Party many years back, you understand how fabulous a birthday can become. But unlike the Pirate Party we have decided that in order to celebrate our birthdays properly we needed two things: a 7 day cruise on a gigantic boat and UCF Basketball. You heard me... UCF basketball.

For Ricky's 30th birthday we will be setting sail on the big blue wet thing to destinations beyond the reaches of Florida in an effort to celebrate the past 30 years and to welcome in the years to come. We will be cruising on the Carnival Dream one of the newest and largest ships in the Carnival fleet and we cannot wait to head out. Exactly two months from today I will be mixing myself a fine cocktail of Dramamine and tasty tasty cruise food while ignoring Weight Watchers points and breathing in the fresh sea air while sitting on our private balcony.

For my birthday however, we decided to go for a more traditional option: family thanksgiving vacation to the Bahamas to watch the UCF Knights Basketball team compete in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. That's normal right? Needless to say I am excited. Not only are we going to spend the holidays with family, but we get to spend it on a tropical island while cheering on our alma mater as they take on teams like FSU, Harvard and UCONN.


One thing is for certain, I will not be shedding a tear over turning 30. Whoever said that turning 30 sucked obviously never met our travel agent... =)

It's all about the timing...

So here's the thing...

I know I have tried to keep the blogs going at miscellaneous points throughout the course of the year and I have continually tried to be more diligent in their maintenance, however, realistically it has not been in the cards. I think part of the problem is due to the fact that I was trying to maintain 3 blogs, none of which were getting the attention they deserved. So I have decided that the time has come to focus all of my efforts into one blog and perhaps the likelihood of it continuing may increase. My artist blog and my solid as a sponge blog will merge with Currey Creations and it will once again serve the purpose of providing information on everything Currey. What this also means is that I will be utilizing this mode of information transfer as the home of the Nemo updates and other such craziness. I cannot promise that I am going to be posting every day or even every week, but I am hoping that the frequency will increase significantly.
