Another day here in delightful Valpo, getting all my ducks gathered and making sure I'll be ready when it's Disney time. I had a couple of realizations today. One: it was 43 degrees outside here, last time I checked. Checking up with the information at Disney, I realized that they don't project it being colder than 50 degrees...even in January when I'm there. When I'm in Florida, I'll never be colder than I am right now. Kind of surreal. Two: on the note of surrealism, I printed off a packet of paper upon which to sign my life away (it felt like I was applying for college again, the number of times I had to write out my social security number) but I finally wrote out the dates I'll be gone. 01/19/2011-08/05/2011. I hadn't written it out like that yet, but now that I have - uh, holy wow - I'm going to be gone for a LONG time. It got a lot more real as I wrote out those numbers (to the point of handshaking, put down the pen so your paperwork doesn't look crappy. Funnily enough, my immediate association was Martin Luther and his shaking hands at his first mass - this is what I get for taking a new members class and studing the reformation in my Christian Tradition at the same time.)
Right. So, that was my interesting information for the day. I'm going to get out of the library now, as we've just crossed the four hour mark. I watched the sun leave earlier...sigh...I remember daylight, vaguely. It'll be nice to be outside come January.
Oh, and 11,324? Number of those little triangle tiles on the Epcot ball. Legit, I know. Plus, because it's got an interior system of drainage that ball'll never drip or drop water on you. The triangles funnel it inside and it totes itself off somewhere else to be dumped. Pretty neat stuff.
