I'm out. Love and I are heading for an overnight to Disney. We still have three days we need to use on the four day passes we bought back in June (and they expire September 30th), Florida residents can stay in the deluxe resorts for about $100 a night and the way the paychecks fall, this is pretty much our last weekend with a couple extra bucks, so we're out of here. Sunday and Monday we'll be in Disney, park-hopping our little butts off and having a good 'ole time. This will be our first time doing something that involves an overnight stay in about four years.

So.....no post probably until Tuesday since we'll be home late Monday night. Ta!

snagged from Orb:

Memory Dream is deeply sensual. Her senses of touch, smell and sight are highly refined. And as for her taste? It's impeccable. Memory is extremely discriminating - when she sees the best, she won't ever settle for anything less. She would rather 'go without' than go for a poor substitute. But then that's Memory all over. It really isn't fair to call her 'stubborn as a mule.' Mules are adaptable, easy going creatures who are always eager to please - or at least, they are by comparison to Memory Dream. Unfortunately, for a person with such expensive preferences Memory is not a millionaire ...or at least, not yet. You never know, it may just happen because Memorys' relationship with money is very interesting. She treats it with a curious mixture of disdain and respect. She never lets it stand in her way, yet she will go out of her way to get it when she needs to. Memory is a smart cookie and a shrewd operator. It is not though, merely in the field of finance that Memory Dream displays intuitive wisdom.

Memory has an affinity with nature. She can make almost any plant flower and bear fruit. This is just as well because Memory has a hearty appetite. She likes her food as indeed she likes all her creature comforts. Fond though she is of all the above - and of all life's little luxuries - there is one more source of endless fascination that Memory cannot resist. Memory doesn't so much have a hearty appetite for sensual pleasure as a ravenous hunger for it! Which is funny really because you wouldn't necessarily think it to look at her. Memory likes to play it cool. Memory likes to pretend that nothing bothers her, fazes her or excites her. Like all Taureans though, Memory Dream is a powerhouse of passion, as those who are lucky enough to know her - or to love her - will breathlessly testify.

*laughs* No comment. Much of it isn't me, though some of it is. I'm not saying which is which. ;)

Ugh. Cramps suck. Finally putting two-and-two together and realizing that the mass quantities of Aleve you take (the only thing which helps take the worst edge off said cramps, backpain and general entire-body aches) causes you headaches sucks worse.

I finally realized last night that the connection between me taking Aleve to help get rid of cramps only to end up seeming to get a headache out of nowhere as soon as the cramp pain starts receding isn't just coincidence, it's probably some kind of allergic reaction or simiar. But, I confirmed it tonight (after all day trying to get by on just some Motron with little success) - the Aleve helps my cramps but gives me headaches. So once again I say, ugh.

Sleep now. Sorta crampy and sorta headachy. Should be a fun night.

Flash Mob - First Ever in Tampa
I went. It was cool. I even sang. Took some photos. Go look:

Tampa Mob Photos, Citrus Park Mall

There ended up being a LOT of people there. We got at the mall around 3:35 and the events were planned to start at 4:05. I wanted to see it and get photos. So we walked around the mall and waited for the time to pass (which it did, but oh so slowly!) Finally, at about 4pm, we milled over that way and hung out along the store fronts near where it was going to take place. There were a lot of people starting to gather and a lot kept looking at me since they were a bit nervous and excited and I definately kept checking my watch and scoping the place out.

Seems two different events were taking place. One involved people bringing chairs and booing/cheering while the other is the one I knew about. It involved everyone singing, Take me out to the ballgame as loud as you could and then looking for a missing baseball, then applauding for a minute. I went with the plan to just watch, but once everyone started singing, so did I. :) It was fun and cool and right before it started, people kept looking around - that didn't know what was going on - and one person asked if something was going to happen. I smiled and told her that there was and to stick around. Someone else said they missed it and asked me what people were applauding for - I quickly explained that it was a flash mob - a group of people who plan to get together at a set time, perform an action and then disperse. She smiled and thought the idea was funny. Pretty much everyone had come to see what was going on once the singing and the clapping took place. It was pretty neat because there were a good number of us participating and even more who were entertained and amused in their day.

There was, however, one nasty part to the whole thing. The mall security came and started yelling at people to move on and to shut up. One guy in particular was an absolute asshole. He would get right in the faces of the people who were teenagers (and only the teenagers, he didn't say a thing to anyone who was an adult) and literally scream at them in their face. My friend was with me (in addition to my Love who also joined in on the merriment and singing) and he told him off. Said he needed to pick on someone besides the kids. Called him an asshole. So the jerk actually called one of the real police officers who was around and had him physically escorted from the mall. The mall rent-a-cop was nothing more then a bully who wanted to pick on the kids - and single them out for his abuse. So, my suggestion is that anyone who was there, or even anyone who thinks that his behavior is just mean and he's nothing more then a bully, that if you ever see him at Citrus Park Mall, to boo him. Unfortunatly, due to the moving crowds and an inconstant flash, the pics I have of him are blurry.


Boo him serverely. This dude is an asshole! When all other mall security just milled around, trying to keep things under control, he got nose-to-nose with teenagers and screamed at them.

That's my flashmob info for the day. For anyone wanting more info on this group, feel free to hit their site, here, or to find planned mobs in your local area, go here.
