So Thursday morning we leave for our vacation. I will be bringing the mini and hope to both get some writing done (it’s been over a week since I’ve written anything productive), and have online access. No promises on either though, so I apologize if I don’t respond to things right away. I know there’s a few comments I have not gotten to yet either, and possibly more that got lost in the laptop/virus shuffle. Sorry!

wolfie74’s mother got us a vacation to Disney World for Christmas. She was originally going to go with, but got extremely ill a few months back and did not think she’d be able to handle the walking and such, and bowed out, wishing us a good time. I’ve never been there before, though the boys have, and have to admit I’m not sure what to expect.
I’m going to be brutally honest here and likely sound like an ungrateful twat, but Disney is so not my thing. I’m not a fan of large crowds of people, lots of sun, lots of heat and humidity, and enforced “fun”. I get hypersensitive to crowds and feel like they’re pressing in on me, burn walking to the car, and prefer both the cold where you can add layers and making my own fun. That said, this was a gift and it’s friken Disney World, and you accept it politely and move on and see what’s what while you’re there.
wolfie74’s mother also just realized that she’s sending two ADD and two ADHD people down during the Fourth of July celebrations. She winced and said sorry and we replied that it could be worse and then pointed out that it’s hurricane season, supposed to be the worst in ten years, there’s the oil spill in the Gulf, and, really, at least there should not be flaming hurricanes a la xkcd. *g*
So that’s what’s going on if I go oddly silent for a while. For now, I have tons of month-end stuff to finish up at work, the boys have a soccer game on Wednesday (against each other – oh the car ride should be fun!), and Leverage episodes to move over to a portable device so I have something to entertain me on the plane.
