Here. We. Go.

This week has been, and will continue to be, a whirlwind.  Here's what's going on:

1.  In a few hours, I'm getting a "new" car.  We're buying my uncle's 2004 Honda Accord to replace this beauty:

Power windows and locks, fully functioning air conditioner/heater, non-broken cruise control, and working radio antenna are just a few of the upgrades we're looking at.  

2.  In a few more hours, I'll be headed off to Orlando, Florida with Jeremy and Brooklyn.  We're going to play some music at a Harry Potter convention.  Get off my back, all you nerd-haters.  It's going to be totally rad.  Jack is staying behind with family as it wouldn't be too much fun for him to get toted around with us everywhere.  Plus we'll be going on family vacation in a few weeks so he's not missing out on much.

3.  Along those lines, packing for four people to go in different directions is a bit of a challenge.  Jeremy and I aren't even staying at the same place (I'm staying at a friend's mom's house so Brooklyn can get some decent sleep).  And I'm trying to fit everything for myself and a baby in one carry-on and a diaper bag.  I'm too cheap these days to cough up the extra cash for checking a bag if I don't have to.  Creativity is about to kick into full gear over here real soon.  I just have to make sure there's room for these:

Gotta protect those sweet baby ears!

4.  I'm fully healed, thanks to my Neti-Pot and raw garlic.  And after over a week of not going, Brooklyn finally pooped.  So with nasal passages and digestive systems in complete working order, we're set to go!  See you in a week!
