Urp.

We spent yesterday at Valleyfair. The "happiest place in the world" besides DisneyWorld. Or something.

And gosh. What the heck, you guys. The older I get, the less tolerant of "motion" I get, and the more motion sick I get, the more I eat. 'Cuz for some odd reason, it calms my tummy.

Here's the catch. I LOVE rides. I've learned that the "spinny" rides are "non-negotiable", as in, I get so queasy and urpy after them that my day is ruined. The roller coasters though? Bring. It. On.

Except, yesterday, they were even getting to me a bit. Which means, well, basically that I ate my way through the entire day.

(Photo taken from our June trip to Valleyfair...yesterday was gray and chilly!)

A ride on the world's best "Extreme Swing"? Some fries to soothe my slightly yucky tummy. A front seat on the "Wild Thing"? How 'bout some chips and guac for that? A death defying drop from the "Power Tower"? Ickyness cured only by hefty amounts of grease washed down by Coke.

And, Texans, when I say "coke", I mean "Coke".

Needless to say, my gauchos and over-sized sweatshirt came in VERY handy. In fact my took a look at me at the end of the day and stated, "Yeah. She does look like she came to eat."

*burp*

Now...where did I put those running shoes?

  1. That's so crazy that eating settles your stomach after rides! I wish that happened to me. I am the biggest pansy when it comes to riding 'scary' rides. I still to the carnival games and mowing down on fair food. Glad you had fun and brought your over-sized sweatshirt ;) Although I'm sure you didn't gain even a pound!

    You should totally swing by and check out my giveaway:

  2. How did you ever find out that eating settles your stomach!?!? That is the last thing I would think to do if I was feeling nauseous after a ride!! That ride by the way, EEK! Awesome picture, but scarrrry!

  3. After my 2nd munchkin I gave up all rides with a height requirement. Hubby takes any kids who care to ride and I sun myself while feeding snacks to the toddler at my side! I also gorge on trans fats and run off the calories - good luck with that one!

  4. I used to be able to ride the whirliest twirliest rides but also now get queasy. Like you, I learned that food helps. When I was pregnant (all three times) I was urpy throughout. It also helped then to eat...and eat...and eat...and eat. Weird, huh?

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!

Oh, hold it...wait just a sec (again)...actually, I got this recipe from Melissa...yes, the Melissa of this story !
