Adventure is out there!
I’m a Disney freak. I love everything Disney, especially Pixar. One of my all time favorite love stories is UP. (even though Carl and Ellie are only in it together for about ten minutes into the movie) The main point of the movie is adventure, and going on adventures while you can enjoy them in life, not waiting until it is too late.
Here is my latest adventure. We are going on vacation in a few weeks, (18 days to be exact, but who is counting…) to, you guessed it, Disney World, YES, again… I told you I love Disney. Anyway, while we are there, we are celebrating a late Valentine’s Day and early anniversary, by going to Queen Victoria’s Room at The Grand Floridian Resort. This is a very exclusive and expensive, once in my life time experience. It is an elegant 4 hour event with a 10 course meal, your own butler, and many foreign foods… Well, foreign to me. (such as quail, elk, sweetbreads, caviar) Here is something you may not know. I am a wicked picky eater. I am one of a few New Englanders who HATE seafood. I love all vegetables and fruits, but when it comes to meat, if it’s not chicken or beef, i cringe and have a VERY hard time trying anything different. In fact, I tried lamb for the first time a couple weeks ago. Even though it was tasty, I could not get into the whole “mind over matter” and it took everything I had not to spit it out. I know, awful right?
I was talking to a friend regarding this dinner, and how I am actually a bit nervous, as I really do want to try different things, but I don’t know how to train my brain so to speak, to let me enjoy them. She could not comprehend this as she would try pretty much any kind of food. I told her that I just want to be able to try things with out getting the urge to get it out of my mouth because of what it is, not on how it tastes. She showed me an article in a magazine talking about self control and how to try new things. This article said to open doors, brush your teeth, drink, with the opposite hand that you use on a daily basis. After you can do that comfortably and get over those small hurdles, jumping the hills won’t seem so bad.
This may sound so silly to some of you… (you can stop laughing now…) but it’s huge to me. So, adventure is out there, and I am ready to find it! Or taste it…I want to be sure to fill up my adventure book with new sights, new sounds, new tastes, and new memories!
