I was kinda let down today again. But my Love had a great day so that makes up for it a little bit. We originally didn't know what we were going to do for the day. He mentioned going to Disney and since I've been dying to go back and the park's open until 11pm tonight and it was a lovely day and all, I thought that was perfect. Instead, he, our friend Rand and I went to have lunch at Cracker Barrel. Blah. I mean it's fine and all but certainly a let down after planning, dressing and preparing for Disney.

The cool part of the day though was that we remembered on the drive home that Tampa Bay Lightning player Vinney Lecavalier was going to be signing autographs at a local store today. And my Love had just done a drawing of him. So we rushed back, grabbed it and went to the signing. The line wasn't that bad - heard earlier it was out the door - and despite my Love being absolutely terrified that the drawing was stupid and that he was weirded out over having Vinny sign it, he did. Turns out his aprehensions were for nothing - Vinny not only was surprised at having an original drawing, but excalimed that it was cool and awesome. He asked where he wanted it signed and took care to make sure he signed it within the border so we can frame it. Made my Love's day. And honestly, I'm really happy for him about that and how cool Vinny was over the image. Something we would have missed out on had we gone to Disney. It was a real boost to his ego and he's really pleased about it - and I don't blame him.

We'll be selling prints and eventually the original as well from his site as soon as we can get them - and several other peices - printed up. If someone's interested, let me know and we'll get you on the list. :)

So, it was a great day for him. But, I had gotten my hopes up on Disney so that was a bit of a let down. He says we'll go next weekend, but we already have plans to hit the Ren Faire and I don't think we'll have the energy - let alone the money - to do both. Bah. Had my heart set on one of those yummy Dole Pinapple Floats too. (pinapple soft-serve in pinapple juice - it's actually quite yummy)

Oh well. Still a decent day and I'm really proud of my Love for the compliments he received from Vinny today.
