Can you say "fucking pimp?!"
So yeah, I'm pretty excited.

I've been sick for about a week now, which sucks, but it's getting better. I have so much mucus it's a little disturbing, but what can you do?
Brian and I will be leaving for Florida tomorrow night, though, so hopefully the warm ocean air will flush it out =)
We're going to Tampa to visit my Britt Butt, FINALLY, and spending the weekend with her in Orlando at Disney World! Free access to the parks + incredible discounts on lodging and food = yes, please. The plan is to leave around 2am Wed night/Thurs morning, drive down to St Pete Beach (<3) grab some breakfast, maybe a quick nap, and spend the morning on the beach with my sweetie. If we go down to the key we can watch the sunrise over the water, which I think will be a nice way to start Valentine's Day don't you =) Brittany gets home from work around 4pm that day, so we're aiming to be in Tampa around that time. I am very much looking forward to a long and relaxing weekend in 70 degree weather. I was hoping for 80 degrees, but 70 will do ;)
We'll probably leave mid-morning on Monday to drive home, and maaaaaybe we'll stop by Donna B's house on the way home... we'll see how tired we are.
I guess that's about it. <3
