Just to let you all know I'm currently on the road to Disney. My brother is doing the Goofy Challenge this weekend (over thirty miles of running in two days)and we're going to watch the race and spend time with him and his girlfriend. So I'm currently sitting in a room at a Holiday Inn Express in Effingham. We left later than we thought we would ( Read more... )

Day three of our road trip and I'm happy to report there will be no day four. I'm back online fully and in Florida. The big question remains when will I get it through my head I'm someplace warm and shed the long sleeves and my jeans. It felt so good this morning to not have to wear a heavy coat or a turtleneck anymore. My boots, which I wore ( Read more... )

We finally got out on the road this afternoon. One way or another we were going to leave today. Mom and I scrambled around the house today getting everything done that we could. Fortunately for us we found a hotel that has a net connection near Champaign (University of Illinois land). We took advantage of the drive and took the new extension on ( Read more... )

Posting up a quick little entry here to get something in before the new day appears on the calendar. Mom and I have finally set a date of departure. We're shooting for tomorrow by noon. So that means I'm rushing around to get my stuff all ready to go. It also means I won't be online until at least Monday. I'll have my computer with me but it' ( Read more... )

There's not much happening here today. I started getting together everything for Florida. I'm not sure what I'll pack and what I'll send down but I have a good idea of what I want with me down there. I'm going to have to move it from my desk to another room so I can sort through it all. It'll be nice to get down there but it'll mean three days ( Read more... )

And so I have returned empty of the one thing I so wished to find. Unfortunately Avatar fans Paramount Parks and the online shop at Nick.com are the only places to find Appa and Momo plushies. Universal Studios in the way of anything Nickelodeon is devoted solely to Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron, and Dora the Explorer. I did snag some goodies though ( Read more... )

Wacky title there I know but it fits with the theme of this post. For the next few days I will be unable to get onto the internet as mom and I head north and to the east a little to Orlando. Our destination will be the Universal Studios. Located within the walls of that theme park mecca is the Nickelodeon Studios and somewhere with that two park ( Read more... )

It's been four days since my last little update here. Not much is going on with me here. I've been trying to get my files in order and get my financial stuff in order. That's been going pretty well here. I need to balance a few months worth of stuff and then I should be where I want to be with that. I'd like to have that in order before next ( Read more... )
