Mood: Out of it.
Listening To: The Sorcerer's Apprentice from Fantasia
Word of the Day: 3

Today's word is brought to us by the number of shifts I have left until vacation starts.  It's been a year since my last one, and I'm very much looking forward to it.  And...maybe I'll go back to work with happy news, like the Troll is no longer my Troll.  Mind you, better the troll than that you know than the one that you don't? I have no idea.

I didn't have great luck when I had my resume out this summer, but looked at more of it not being the right time.  Maybe January will bring better results.  I really need to get closer to home.  Travel costs are just way too much.  I love my job...well, most aspects of it, but change is good, and working 15 minutes away vs. 90 minutes would be much better.

It was a long and struggle filled day today.  I wouldn't classify it as an overly horrible day, but with month end being tomorrow, we need some huge luck to go with our skill to bring it in.  Holiday shopping season is practically upon us.  I have 1/2 a brand new team, and the rest of us are all tired, but it should still be ok.
It didn't help today that I was sick as a dog, that made the day seem longer than it actually was.  I'm feeling better now, and after Monday I'll be able to relax.

In less than 2 weeks, I'm going to be on a boat with the fam.  For the majority of us, it's our first cruise.  I used to have a major fear of extra deep water, mostly when flying over it.  The ship we're on looks really nice, and from what I understand, you barely feel the waves unless there's a storm.  It's like a hotel...but on water!  With luck, we'll have calm seas and clear skies the whole time.  This will be my first time off of N. American soil, and I can't wait.  The kids have no clue where we're going, we've managed to keep it a secret since February.  Layne's Dad and Bear share the same birthday, and it's big ones for them, so that's what we're celebrating.

Much overdue, this family vacation.  The last time we all went anywhere together was in 2006 before we moved out here.

I've decided my ideal place to live would be a place with both mountains and the ocean, with a mild climate.  I know...I don't ask for much.   Actually scratch that...my ideal place is wherever my family is.  But I'd love it to be a place with mountains, the ocean, and a mild climate. LOL

I think that's it for tonight.  Gotta be up early for work.  I leave you with some classic Disney.  G'night interweb!
