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... )

Day two of our road trip Florida. This morning we were greeted to dense fog in central Illinois. The fog was so thick it was hard to see the car in front of us as we drove. We left Tuscola around eight and made it to the Paducah area in Kentucky in time for lunch. At that point mom and I decided to switch driving duty and I took over for a few ( 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... )

First off sorry I didn't update from the road. I tried to update last Wednesday but I erased all the touch screen typing I did on the DS. That thing is great for checking e-mails and seeing who's replied to your journal posts and making quick updates on forums but not for long journal posts. So the three states in three days thing was okay but I ( Read more... )

Short update here. Got back from my trip last night but I was too tired to deal with going on the computer for very long. Checked a couple of things and pretty much crashed right away. Going into the gym first thing in the morning is no way to recover from a long three state trip. I'm quite tired and sore. I'll have more of an update later on ( Read more... )

I thought I was supposed to get all emotional and cranky and tired before the menace but it looks like as going home draws near I have become cranky and bitchy and downright tired as all get out. I haven't been drinking enough water lately. Heck, my fluid intake has been very minimal, which is not good and accounts for my general lack of pep and ( 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... )

Sitting here in the International Terminal at O'Hare killing some time before we have to board our flight to Fort Myers. The airline we're using leaves from the International Terminal so that makes things better. It's a "Girls' Day" for travel because my mom and I have her younger sister with us. Since my mom is with us it takes some of the ( Read more... )
