What the hell's a FYI?

I'm going to California tomorrow.

LA-direction.

We're going to Disneyland. Then we're going to have fun in the desert. Then on Sunday if we feel like it, we might catch the Red Sox at the Padres. Then on Monday we're going to lounge by the pool and drink conspicuously blue drinks. I'm going to insist on fine dining and fine wining. Not whining.

In other words, we're having a little family vacation, and it's been too long since we did, so I'm off. I'll bring SeƱor Laptop, aka Little Dragon, but don't expect to see me. At all. I'm going AWOL.

See y'all on Tuesday.

Oh, and [livejournal.com profile] chrysantza, I got the package today. Mmm. I'm wearing Mars right now. it's kind of a floral-patchouli-some-earth-scent-undertone. I like it. Thank you! And I also want to wave a little shoutout to [livejournal.com profile] livii for being on the early bandwagon with this particular Amy Winehouse track. You got it right, miss. It's one of those songs that gets stuck in your brain and you can't get rid of it no matter how many times you hit your head against the top of the bureau.


And because I neglected to note the occasion yesterday:

Happy belated birthday, [livejournal.com profile] luu_alita!!!

I hope your day was splendide and that all your fondest wishes were granted.

Don't forget the sunscreen!

Have a great trip!

Got my sunscreen, my sunglasses, my driver's license, my iPod, and my credit cards. What more does a girl need?

Catch you on the return.

Have a great time, sis. I look forward to hearing from you (and then seeing you) when you get back!

Yo. Catch you later.

Have a fab vacation! Wave at me when you fly by SF. :)

And glad you like the song - other than the earworm part, heh, but I did warn for that. ;) Mmm, now I'm going to go listen to it again as well.

Heh. We heard it about six times on the radio today. Other than that, I've discovered that L.A. has THE SUCK for radio stations. I'm all sorts of surprised about that.

I like her voice. In fact, I just ordered the CD. I'm all about the good music.

And thanks for the good wishes! So far, so good. Disney California Adventure loved us today. Minimal lines! For a Saturday in June, that's almost unheard of. Disneyland itself was a little bit of a different story, but it's always more crowded across the plaza.

Hannah, of course, has been completely delighted by this trip so far. She had a blast at the theme park. We're roller coaster nuts, so we tried to get on as many of those as we could. It's been fun!

i have to still get ued to her voice. it's just htat it sometiems soudns to me as if she's drunk or on somethgn else but eh well.. what i've heard isshe's first listenedto a zillion motown and other sixties kidn of soul adn tires to weave that into this abum. if yo ugetthecd you shoudl listen to' back to black' which is the title track of course. i' mactually wondering why i evne said rehab ws the onl ysong of hers i liked.

i'd like to do some disney rides. the closest i can getto is paris but i hope to get to the us one time and have one of those days like te lack of liens you're talkignaboutright now so i can do all those rides. i only liek roaler-coastersif theyr'e not constantly doign saltos though so i'd onl ygo fort he ones that hmerely have lots of curves adn double turns.

I'm glad the package arrived safe and sound! Enjoy your Scorpionic oils!

BTW, you couldn't be persuaded to stop by here and say howdy on your way to SoCA, could you?

Alas! The plane, she does not stop in San Francisco. If we'd driven, you bet your ass I would have stopped by to say hello.
