Central Florida friends: anyone looking for a signed copy of Floating Mountains by Joe Rohde should visit B&N in Dr. Phillips. He had a signing event there last week. Picked up my copy today. 🤩

New to me: Dole Whip dessert in grocery stores. Has anyone tried this and is it any good? I will have to buy this...for science.

I've literally stopped in my tracks the past few nights because the moon is gorgeous. Trying to appreciate the small things a bit more. 🌕

Jumping into this trend. Here are My 9 Videogames. I spent so many hours (so many) playing these in my youth.

I don't watch a lot of TV so I can't say much about this 100 Best list. However, I am pleasantly surprised to see Andor so high at 32. No argument from me. I thought it was brilliant storytelling. #TeamMonMothma 🙌🏼

I wouldn't know what I would do without my fellow California transplants who moved here to Central Florida. We celebrated Bequi's belated birthday at one of our favorite Disney resorts and restaurants. 🥳

I just experienced disappointment and also peak #firstworldproblems. I went to Starbucks to try the Unicorn Frappucino and they were sold out. It was a limited promo for this weekend only. 🦄😖

That was a solid D23 Experiences Showcase last night. I wasn't expecting anything big, since most of the 2024 announcements are in construction. But I'm happy for all the Dreamfinder fans out there.

I was lucky to have been part of a production of Die Fledermaus a long time ago. I'm not sure why I had the sudden urge to listen to this again, but the Overture is a certified banger. 🎶 share.google/ZjT0cXB7kgeE...

What a great park and resort hopping day! I assumed the heat advisory 🔥 would keep my visit short, but taking plenty of indoor breaks did the trick. Even Stitch would agree. 😄
