home sweet home.

i guess.

i got sick during my much anticipated vacation. so it was pretty much ruined. i stayed in the hotel room all day tuesday and wednesday until we left. serious cabin fever. especially knowing the rest of the fam was out having fun. :[

my brother got sick on monday... then that night i started getting sick too. blah.

i was really worried about getting on the plane, but i made it through the flight just fine. now i'm just fighting a sore throat and uncomfortable ears, lots of coughing and just the general feeling of being sick. not very fun.

i don't really have much to report from the vacation. i guess a few highlights would be that we got dream fast passes again. i don't think that getting them twice could happen to too many people since they only give out like 100 per day or something like that. and not to brag, but i was the one who found it last time and i was also the one who found it this time. so basically, if you want to get one... take me with you and i will scout it out. haha. no, but seriously here is the key... when you notice that everyone walking toward you has one on... you are heading in the right direction. that's about the only advice i can offer. once again, my dad had just gone up to the room to read some films, so he missed out this time again. how sad. maybe we will go one more time and he can actually get one.

otherwise... we ate at the blue bayou monday night for dinner. that is the one where the seating is in the pirates ride. we had never eaten there before... so we finally convinced dad. actually... it wasn't that great. fairly high prices and our service was really bad. it took a really long time for our food to come and the food was subpar. they did give us free dessert, and that was actually rather yummy. haha.

tonight, james and i coughed our way through pirates 3. there were only a couple other people in the theater and the movie was pretty loud, so we didn't really disturb anyone. i really like it. i only saw bits of the second one, so i had to ask james a few questions during the movie, but i thought it was actually pretty good. i've heard little rumors that there could be a fourth one. i hope there is. just to tie things up and make a happy ending. [of course, if there is a fourth one... i doubt it will be as happy as i would like. ha.] so have you seen the third pirates? what did you think?

oh and just as a little update. i started working on the scrapjack before i left, but i didn't get the chance to finish it in time. i'm going to try to get it done tomorrow. my sister saw it while i was working on it... i was writing the journaling, which is about the nicole situation and my sister just said a shocked "wow." haha. well the page is called "rethinking this friendship." so that gives you a hint. writing out that journaling did help me just sort of move on. also i need to do serious catch up on the word challenges. i still have to do stop, my and now the new one... which happens to be new, right? ha. plus i need to work on my little fiskateer assignment. i'll be sure to post it here when it's finally done, but in the mean time, you should join the fiskateers. just email one of the lead fiskateers [may is my favorite] and tell them that you want to join. then they will email you back with some questions and stuff and then when you answer, they'll give you the info you need to join. it's a really fun little community. :]

mmm kay. that's all for now. i'm going to go crawl in bed. :]

oh. p.s. if you don't read heidi swapp's blog, then you don't know about this, and you probably should. www.clubheidi.com was just launched. it's sort of like a kit club, but if you just click on july kit, then click on ideas... there is some really fabulous stuff there. good tips and whatnot. i have the book that those layouts come from, but it's nice to see them highlighted here and see the other projects and ideas too. i don't plan on buying the july kit because i wouldn't use much of it... but it is indeed a great value, and i'm going to keep a look out for the future months' kits. [sorry alyssa... i know i was just trying to conivnce you not to buys kits. haha. but i wanted to post for the inspiration.]

ok. goodnight now. :]
