Waaaay back in 2014, when this blog was a mere baby blog – a blaby? A blogby? – I did a post about all the foods I wanted to eat at Walt Disney World. Since then, I have made a small dent in that list… and since then, five years’ worth of NEW foods have popped up. So I did...

I come from Maryland, where individual counties set liquor laws, and most of those counties are run by puritans. Most grocery stores can’t even sell beer and wine, let alone liquor, and you’re sure as hell not going to find it in, say, a fast food place. So every time I leave Maryland and see alcohol sold in anything...

I’m not gonna lie to you guys – I’m not a Marvel person. I respect the franchise – my nerdy little Star Trek-loving, Disney-obsessing heart could hardly do otherwise – but it doesn’t do a ton for me. I don’t mind if someone puts a Marvel movie on, but I only see them in theaters when Pat asks me...

Yooo! I couldn’t let the whole of May go by without a single post. I didn’t mean to take a blog break at all, really. But it was so easy to let slip – we were moving into a new, permanent place in Puerto Rico, and I was settling into teleworking, and also I’m planning a wedding which as...

OHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO You may recall how last week I was all, hey! I signed up for the WDW Marathon! Duh! You may also recall how a couple months ago I was like, runDisney challenges aren’t for me, man. And if you read that post, you may further remember that I rather prophetically noted that this mandate would likely go out the...

Hola y salutations! Hello! Happy 4/20 if you celebrate! Okay, first things first: if you are a pale person in Puerto Rico, you need to wear MORE sunscreen. I didn’t say you need to wear some sunscreen, I said you need to wear MORE sunscreen. MORE. You can’t even trust the umbrellas with the margaritas under them. MORE. SUNSCREEN. ¿Entiendas?...

Today in surprising turns of events: yesterday I registered for the 2020 Walt Disney World Marathon. I KNOW! Shocking! I’ve only done it the last 5 years in a row while periodically gushing about how it’s my favorite thing to happen all year. It feels especially important to me right now as I am on a temporary runDisney hiatus...

I come to you today with another Disney Dandy discovery. Sort of. I might not wear this one. It is… different. My grandmother died a couple years ago – ah, memories – and my parents were finally able to sell her house early this year. This facilitated a major clean-out, as she was a collector. (Not a hoarder, mind you, a...

Hello and welcome to week two of Jenn Lives in Puerto Rico! I continue to enjoy being warm all the time, even if it comes at the cost of very sweaty runs. I talked about running here a bit yesterday. Although I just realized I forgot to include the fact that while I do all my runs in the...

While we apartment-hunt for a permanent place, Pat and I are staying in a little place by the beach in Ocean Park, in the northern part of San Juan on the coast. It’s not a proper hotel and there’s no gym… but like any good addict, I’m not about to let my training just drop, y’know? Mama needs her...
