Total Vacay!

Yo.

I'm going to Florida in two weeks, which is pretty rad. I've been to Florida once and I absolutely despised it. Granted, I stayed in an overpriced condo in the God-forsaken swamp of Orlando. I didn't even go to Disney World. This time I'm going to Stuart, which I've been told is near West Palm Beach. My dad and I are going to go visit my grandpa, who resides there during the non-hot months. My Papa Al is really a one-of-a-kind saint of sorts. He may be the most selfless, peaceful person I know. But he also has long term battles with my aunt Christine's cat and steals rhubarb from the neighbor's yard. Basically, he's a baller. Also, he listens to smooth jazz.

I love my family.

So I'm assuming I will be spending lots of time on the beach, which means I get to DISPLAY MY TATTOO. Finally. It's been a ridiculously cold winter and spring, and those little winged cats want to fly freely on my left calf for the world to see. Spending lots of time on the beach also means that I might see a manatee! Or a shark! Or old leather bag women in bright orange bikinis, but that's neither here nor there.

I'm excited to get out of Indiana, although a few weeks ago I went to Chicago with my boyfriend for his birthday. That was an epic adventure full of tropical fish (The Shedd Aquarium) and massive coronaries (Bennigan's). I'll post later about that. But right now my fluffy kitten Dobby is sick, and I need to tend to him!
