In 2010 I had a pretty decent collection of Disney Pins. I’ve always liked die cast enamel pins. When I went to Florida for my first trip as a kid I went to a flea market and bought a whole bunch of pins. I remember getting a Bigfoot (The monster truck) pin and more and putting them all over a trucker hat. I have no idea where those ended up. That is weird because I pretty much have everything from my childhood.
Cut back to 2005 when I started going back to Walt Disney World and this time with Allison by my side. I ran the Disney 1/2 Marathon and while there I started picking up some pins. By 2010 I had a good set of pins on a camp counselor hat that I work on our trips. On the way home from that trip I put that hat in an outside pocket of one of our bags and when we got home it was gone. It was stolen and I was devastated. I had picked out each pin purposefully and had some ones that were special to me. I had found characters on Motorcycles, other characters dressed as pirates and even more. They were all stolen. I detail it all in my 2000th photo-a-day post.
I haven’t tried to rebuild that collection but I did pick up a few more pins for myself on other trips. The pins above were from other trips and a couple came from a large lot of pins that I just got for Eva and Andrew. In preparation for our upcoming trip I went to eBay and ordered a random lot of 50 pins for $22. The whole intention was for Eva and Andrew to divvy them up and put them on some lanyards that I also bought for them for the trip. Continue reading Prepping for Disney Pin Trading at #DisneySMMC→
Get ready to binge watch Netflix because if 2017 is any indication, 2018 is going to be a pretty incredible year from Netflix. Now, I do not know everything that is going to be on Netflix in 2018, new series, specials and movies are being announced all the time. But, because I am a Netflix Stream Team member I have access to see some of the things that are coming earlier than most. For 2018 Netflix has asked the Stream Team members to talk about what they are most looking forward to in 2018. I figured that I’d give a Top 10 list of what I am looking forward to. This past year I binged so many different series and shows that the first two items on the list that I am looking forward to are second seasons of shows that I really enjoyed.
Ozark Season 2 – It took me a while before I gave this show a chance even though I love Jason Bateman. I’ve been a fan ever since he was on Silver Spoons. I’m pretty sure I’ve watched almost everything that he’s ever done and in Ozark he not only acts but directs and he does a great job with it. Season 2 is set to return in 2018 and I am eagerly awaiting it.
Jessica Jones Season 2 – Set to return on March 8th this Marvel hero show is one of the better ones to have come out of the series of grittier shows highlighting more of Marvel’s somewhat grounded characters in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. Jessica is a smart-ass private investigator with super strength but she doesn’t want to use her powers or embrace the hero thing. We last saw Jessica in Marvel’s The Defenders and she was a bright spot in that series.
