We're Going to Disneyland Bitches!

So I am a major procrastinator. Anyone that knows me well will attest to this. When we did our taxes at the end of January we decided that we would use our returns to go to Disneyland, my favorite vacation destination of all time! Our money showed up in early February and any sane person would have booked their trip then. The trip is planned for April 10th (we HAVE to go that week because Chris' boss is out of town for the week the office is all closed) which is two weeks from today and I just now booked it. Lame right? I honestly don't think that it would have been any cheaper had we booked two months ago but maybe my headache would be less? See, here's what happened... I tried to take care of all this last week actually and I'm doing it all through Expedia.com (a great site that I've used a few times before). Well, I get everything selected, the flight and the hotel and all, and I get to the final page where I put in my debit card info and I click 'book it' and it tells me that the price has changed! It went up like fifty bucks so I decide to change my options a bit to see if I can make it cheaper. I go back, change it up a bit and go to the check-out again and then it tells me that my card was rejected! So rude! I check my debit card account balance and of course I had enough money, but Expedia had sent through some temporary holds on some funds, which I understand because I work retail and I know how these things work, but the amounts totaled over $400! The most rude!!! I call Expedia and they tell me they will drop off in 72 hours and of course that doesn't happen so I call the bank people and they say it takes 4 days, which it did but in the mean time I'm STRESSING that the trip is so much closer and that the flight will be more expensive, which it was :( The flight went up about $100 each person. We were going to fly out Thursday morning, then back Saturday night because that was the cheapest option for the weekend. It was only 2 hotel nights and cheaper than flying back Sunday morning. I try about 7 different combos of days, airlines and airports and it's still well above the price we wanted to pay. So I'm sitting here all sad and dejected like my Christmas was taken away when I ask Chris if he can leave Wednesday instead. So I plug that in, fly out Wed. and then back Sat. morning and VOILA! Instant HAPPY! Three hotel nights with those flight options ended up being A) cheaper than what I had planned last week and been trying for all night and 2) $250 less that flying out Thurs.! Christmas is back on, Little JD is giddy! He's going to Disneyland in 2 weeks with his best friend in the whole world! All is well :)

My Husband is the Best!

I have loved the B-52's since I was about 15 years old. In fact, one of my very first concerts ever was the B-52's. My mom drove me all the way to Park City one summer saturday night to see them. She was a super sport! Well, ever since I found out that the B's were releasing a new album (their first in 16 years) I've been crazy excited! And then one day, they announced that they would be coming to Utah on the True Colors concert tour (www.truecolorstour.com). I was as giddy as a 15 year old gay boy! Now, Chris is aware of my total enjoyment of the B's and on Friday he tells me, "Don't get your hopes up, but I'm trying to win you tickets to the B-52's from the radio station". This is true love! He had to text the radio station all weekend long to enter the contest as much as possible and, what do you know, HE WON! Chris isn't as excited as I am. I know for a fact that he just likes the B's. Maybe even just tolerates them. But for him to spend the entire weekend texting a radio station so that I could get free tickets is amazing. I can't thank him enough. I love that he knows me so well and that his love for me is so deep. I have the best husband in all the world!

Beardy McNoShaves

So Chris and I have been rockin' the facial hair as of late. I just resurrected my goatee from years past, but Chris went full out with a total beard. Everyone was saying positive things about both choices. They said we looked older, more mature. Everyone like it, everyone that is, except us. I didn't like his beard and he didn't like my goatee. I mean, I was content with him being all beardy and I wasn't totally harping on him to shave (ok, maybe only a few times). It was fun, it was different, it was a nice change. Well, the other day we encountered a HUGE issue with all this facial hair... when we made out, it was WAY too prickly! And let's face facts here, we can't have anything get in the way of us making out! Chris told me I needed to shave. I told him I would only do it if he shaved too. So at 10pm, March the 8th, the grand facial hair experiment of '08 failed. On a positive note, we made out for like 45 minutes last night! WOO HOO!

Let's Talk About Cats

So I hate cats. I just want to put that out there. I hate ‘em. They’re bitchy and selfish and they always want to rub up against me and they’re everywhere and I’m mildly allergic. Oh, and the wild ones outside always walk all over my car and leave paw prints on the windshield. When I would see one running across the street, I would never swerve to miss it. I think this hatred of cats was passed on to my from my father, who got it from his mother. So when I think now, about how I have the cutest cat in the world named Skittles and how now when I see a dead cat in the road I kind of freak out and get all worried and I tell Skittles that she can NEVER EVER leave the house, I think my dad would laugh at me. Chris tells me my dad would be proud though. That I can care for something and that I can open my heart up in a way that I never thought I could. Yeah, he would be proud. And he would tease the every-living hell out of me.

Post Script, I still hate cats. I only like Skittles. She’s the only cat for me!

I Am Such a Nerd

I am so FRAKING excited!

My New Celebrity Crush Is...

James Marsden needs to be my new boyfriend. I just saw 27 Dresses by accident and let me tell you something, he is yummy! His smile and his desheveled hair just make me giddy like a school girl with a crush.

I Haven't Blogged... What's Up With That?

Well, ya see, I'm a busy boy. Ok, that's a lie. I work then I come home and don't want to do a damn thing. I sit in front of the TV and then go to bed. So that makes me just lazy. I do have ideas and thoughts I want to write about, but I always think of these ideas when I'm driving in my car or when I'm in the middle of my work day. These ideas never resurface when I'm home and I'm by the computer. That's my brain for ya!

Anyhow, I'm still here. I have things to say. They will be said. Maybe soon.
