    February 28, 2009 by Kelly

    Saturday, February 28, 2009

    I completed my 3rd 5k in a year..and my 2nd this year! Here are some pictures and a short little video from the run.

    This may have been my proudest moment of any 5k..I didn’t need to use my asthma inhaler nor did I even think about it during or after the run! You have no idea how happy that makes me. That is HUGE for me!

    My friend Angela finished in 31:52
    My mom finished in 49:18
    And I finished in 52:57

    P.S. — In the video, it’s my mother that is smoking a cig. Just her..

  2. American Idol..Is it really THE Experience?

    February 25, 2009 by Kelly

    Wednesday, February 25, 2009

    Jeff and I went to see the newest attraction at Walt Disney World — The American Idol Experience. It was mainly to go see Jeff’s latest work! Which was just exciting in itself!!

    This is a picture of a T.V. screen which includes Jeff’s work on the small screen.

    American Idol Today

    After seeing his work in the pre show, we decided to check out the actual show and see if it lived up to all the hype.

    I’m going to admit this..and it does not, I repeat does NOT leave this page: I watch American Idol and I sometimes enjoy it.

    Maybe had we had seen at least the finale I would have enjoyed AIE more, but it seems like to fully get the whole “experience”, I would have to see all the daily shows and then the finale. I can’t say that there will ever be a day that I feel like sitting in that room for 7 hours off and on. But hey, maybe one day. Plus, it truly depends on the “singers” for the show that you are watching. Yes, they have gone up against others that day for that spot, but maybe you don’t always agree with the judges and you would have liked to have seen someone else. I mean I didn’t agree with who won our show. But then again, that’s life.

    Either way, here are the pictures (that was my favorite part — taking pictures). Enjoy!

  3. Tweetup at an Irish Bar

    February 22, 2009 by Kelly

    Saturday, February 21, 2009

    How many non-Irish folk can you fit into an Irish bar? I wish this was a set up to a joke, but it’s not. The answer is about 100 completely different people from twitter! 100 people shoved into Scruffy Murphy’s in College Park makes for an interesting night.

    Jeff and I met up with our friend Tommy and we had a little walk over to the bar. We were early, but all was well and Mickey, from SomaCow, was there already so we grabbed our first drink of the night. Thanks to Mickey for our drinks! All of the SomaCow guys are great…well I can’t say that for J though..seeing as though he apparently doesn’t ever want to come meet others, so I haven’t met him yet..

    Shortly after, others started flowing in and by the end of the night I had walked around (yep..I continued standing the entire night, even after…oh…6? beers. Oops!) and met quite a few wonderful people (I also did some catching up with others that I got to meet at the Ichiban tweeup). Including, but not limited to: Carri, Sir Kyle (because that is what I will always call him), Ashley, Anthony “I don’t have a butterfly on my keychain” Richardson, Garth, Katy, Marc Middleton, Geoff, Jen, Mickey, Ross, Shawn, Etan, Daphne, Melanie,  and Susan (who is a great alarm system–she kept Jeff from stealing things from my bag! Which I greatly appreciate!)

    Thanks again to Etan and Daphne for putting together a wonderful tweetup. I can honestly say that I never expected that many people to show up. Who would have thought?

    Below are some of my favorite tweets the day of the tweetup! And then pictures from the tweetup!

  4. Mini Golf — Fun for Everyone

    February 10, 2009 by Kelly

    Tuesday, February 10, 2009

    I’ve been trying to plan a little miniature golf outing the past couple of weeks due to the fact that as a Disney cast member, we get a free round of golf through Thursday, February 12. Sunday, 2/8 was that day! Angela, Scott (aka Scangela) Jeff and myself (aka Jelly) went to see what was going on with the Disney golf courses. We’ve done them before, but hey, why not! It’s free! Plus I’m always up for some mini golf. You will see the details of what happened when we arrived.

    Highlight of the night: Scott AND Jeff both got a hole in one!

    Are there any places around the Orlando area that have awesome mini golf courses?! I’m always looking for some golf places.


  5. Adventures In Line Dancing

    February 9, 2009 by Kelly

    Monday, February 9, 2009

    My friend, Angela, and I tried a few line dancing classes out at Cheyenne Saloon a few months back. We went a couple of times, but decided that the classes weren’t that good. It could have been the teachers we had, but still. Plus, some of the people there dancing just kinda drove us crazy. So, Angela searched around and she finally came across a couple of places. We decided to try out the classes at Jesse Blacks and I must say, we’ve gone to 4 so far and we quite like them. The teacher is wonderful and the people there range from beginners (like myself) to pros, or so it seems, who put their own spin on the dances. For the most part some are just fun to watch. Here is one of the nights we went — Wednesday, 2/4/09.

    I won’t point out which one I am, but I’m not that good on most of the songs and I started to goof off toward the end of the night. Oops!
