Disneyland... The Happiest Place on Earth even for Lugubrious Lilly

My Babo... And his Boba
The kids face in the background is awesome!
I understand how contradictory I can be;
After all, the name of my blog is "Happiness is Way Overrated" yet I am a major Disney fan! An Annual Passholder as a matter of fact... Thanks to the LOML +Victor Ngo

And I have delayed this post because I didn't want to bore folks with a post about how well my detailed Disney plan was executed (shameless self-affirmation)...

The whole ride home, besides struggling to stay awake for my Babo, I thought about what I wanted to write about and I couldn't get this overwhelming feeling of awwwww... out of my chest.... And yes part of it was the magic of Disney but MAJORITY was realizing that I had fallen in love a little more with my fiance.... (Barf bag anyone....?)

Ugh... I know it's sickening... But I really did! Let's get real for a sec...There are moments that I want to strangle him...(But I won't til he signs that life insurance, commence the maniacal laugh... muahahaha*) It's kinda like that Pink song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsmUOdmm02A

But this weekend, it wasn't one of those moments at all (ok maybe once or twice when he made suggestions about changing the schedule, if you were a fraction of how anal I am about plans or had OCD and/or GAD you would understand how it sparks major attacks of the shakes) Back to my point, he was the Beast to my Belle...

He was on his "A" game, a caring fiance, a sweet son-in-law and a thoughful-spoiling uncle - At many points in the weekend I teared up thinking about how 5 years ago we visited this park as a couple for the first time, with neither of us admitting how much we loved all things Disney until Day 3 at Disneyland.

Then within those five years we have been back over dozens of dozens of times(So much so that I am sure we could have put a down payment on a car or something else really expensive) and we have visited with family and have converted family members to Disneyland believers!

And this past weekend we were there as an engaged couple and then later-later we're gonna be there as a married couple, and then later-later-later-later with our two kids (according to him 4-5kids...Ha) I Just couldn't help but tear up and fall in love with him a little more...

He is not afraid to tell me when I am being a pain in the ass, which is 99.99% of the time (Yeah I just quoted "The Notebook": Time for the 2nd barf bag) 

He helped me come up with the title for this blog, you see, my lil' orchid is technically his 2nd girlfriend, the one that helps him mediate the crazy-tiny person who resides in my head ... He expressed concern and asked +irlanea Luna , in front of me by the way, that all he wanted to do was make me happy and she gave him the most honest answer only she has permission to deliver, "Lillyam will never be happy" and he later responded that he had the rest of his life to give it a try...even if it did kill him*

Vinh and I discussed it later on and I told him about my bouts of anxiety issues and depression episodes -  that I eventually related being happy to being "cool" - I never craved being cool, it was never my thing and never would be- just thought being normal/cool was overrated - So he made joke as he tends to do (As you will learn later-later in the "Vinh-isms: Shit my fiance says")

So as I was saying, he then says to me, "So basically your saying Happiness is Overrated" hence the name of my blog - I had to add the "Way Overrated" cause the other one was already taken ;-)

And Light-Bulb - I am just never happy but with a little tru

st and Pixie dust.... And Vinh... This weekend I felt a bit of that happiness and fell a little more in love with my love (Barf bag #3)

Love you my love!

This shirt was too funny not to share with y'all
*I apologize to everyone who doesn't get our sense of humor but Vinh and I have realized, thanks to a friend of a friend, that marriage is wanting to kill the person sleeping next to you but you don't because you would miss them too much...if that still doesn't make sense go f**k yourself (whoa whoa that was intense but thats's how protective I am of US)

P.S. Also, interesting side note I find this post even more funny cause tonight one of my readers, haha my pretentious ass... that reader being Vi, Vinh's cousin,(Thanks to his text asking to support my blog) She told me she was happy to get to know me better through my blog- to learn about my life outside of Vinh...I couldn't help but laugh knowing I my next post was going to be about him...)

Fatshion 101: Return of National Polka Dot Day

Happy New Year's Y'all! I am happy to be back! I am happy that it's the beginning of the year when the days feel refreshed and reinvigorated. I am not so much of the "new year, new me" attitude BUT a new year does represent a much more glacier pace of life for me. I kinda fell off the face of the Earth or at least my blog since September 2018... October, our birthday month was superbusy, November at work is an insane time and December is for the holidays sooooooo by the end of the year - I am just waiting with bated breath for new years! Aaaaaaaand January is also home to one of my favoritest days of the year! National Polka Dot Day! In honor of the the Polka Dot Queen herself, Minnie Mouse! If it has dots! I want it! I got it! ;-) And dude!!! I celebrated in what I can only describe as pants sent from heaven! They are from Zara and I bought them ON SALE, maybe six months ago and they come in XXL! I fell in love with them the minute I put them on SO ...

EDC 2016: Modesty, nudity and feminism

Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent Give it to me to go to Vegas and come back more of an empowered feminist than ever! Damn right! First of all... (clap, clap) Let's get something straight! (clap-clap)) My anxiety/insecurity prior to this Vegas Wedding slash EDC thing had NOTHING to do with my body!!! (CLAP) I struggle with finding nudity an empowering source! And not because I'm fat but because I've always been a believer in less is more - in where, the less skin I show, the more enticing and the more empowered I feel. Yeah! Ladies and gents! It's possible! And an argument can be made of the same saying; Less is more - The less clothing you wear the more enticing and empowered you can feel! And I say "I struggle" with 'empowering nudity' because we are bombarded with nudity everywhere we look - We are meant to be made to believe that we should all be comfortable with nudity - well I hate to break it to y'all but - nah! I've written ...

Fatshion 101: Learning to Live with Intent and Balance

Note: I started writing this blog in March while on our way Home to the Happiest Place on Earth ---days before resigning from my job of six years... I’ve always enjoyed my time sitting at a desk looking out a window… Which is probably why as I sit thousands of feet above the sky I am inspired to pull out my laptop (That I’ve packed to finish work emails – on my day off)  but  as I type those words- I’ve chosen to f*ck that sh*t – I am going to use my laptop to blog! I am a little  conflicted on where to start –  I’ve had these thoughts, these words, this blog on my mind for a long time… (Clears throat: it has been well over a year since my last blogpost) I haven’t written for fun in ages and I know myself well enough to know that I shouldn’t have taken such a long break from journaling/blogging (Friendly FYI – I maintain a handwritten journal in addition to my blog) But even before the summer 2019 I stopped all forms of journaling completely – I insta-s...
