This will be a two day post. And yes, for the first time in almost three years I missed a post on Saturday. Why? Because I was away from technology for over 26 hours straight. Goddamn it felt good. No computers, no tablets, and my phone was turned off for a good portion of that time except for emergencies. So you kind and gentle reader get the goodness of like 30 hours crammed into a single post. Ready? Let's do it...

Friday:
Was slightly hungover in the morning but needed to work and get ready for our trip. I was planning on sleeping from like 4 to 10 to make sure I wasn't cranky or had any problems driving down. Yeah that plan went out the window. I ended up working for the client from hell for the majority of the day. TGF took off around 11 since she hadn't been home and so she could get ready for the trip. I was supposed to be sleeping before she came back. Nope. I worked 7 hours on that damn client. I was getting cranky and pissed off as was my poor co-worker who also had spent the week working 14 hours days for these bastards. We started taking it out on each other until we slowed down and backed up. We apologized and started moving forward on things. In the end I didn't sleep. TGF came back around 6, the kid and KBF were there by 8. We played video games for a couple of hours and then decided fuck it, let's go.

Saturday:
We ended up leaving around 10:30 Friday night for Disneyland. We rolled into Anaheim around 5:30am. It was perfect. We all stayed awake on the way down with people taking the occasional naps. I drove the whole way and we sang and made noise to keep us all awake. Once we hit Anaheim we stopped at Denny's for breakfast because everyone needed to pee and wake up a bit. We got to the park around 7:30 and we were in the doors right at 8:01. We had the most incredible day. Everything decorated for Christmas. And then TGF surprised me with one of the most incredible things - I was given a budget of $150 and told to pick out my Christmas presents. YES! For most people they would think this is her way of getting out of buying me stuff, but for me it's perfect. I am really fucking picky about people giving me gifts especially at Christmas time. The budget amount was perfect and it gave me all day to find stuff. We hung out with the kid and KBF until about noon and then we went our separate ways until meeting up for dinner. WHAT A DAY! The park was lit up for Christmas, Haunted Mansion decorated, Small World all done up, the characters walking around with Santa hats, etc. We even noticed that Tigger was looking brighter than normal and that's when we realized that probably it's the costume they bring out this time of year only and they haven't been used and abused like the normal ones. Didn't matter - it was another perfect Disney day. I ended up getting 8 presents which will be wrapped up for Christmas. AND even better we ended up scoring 14 pins for our collection. We traded for 12 of them and purchased two. The two we bought were a special edition Christmas Nightmare and the first 2012 pin for the year. One nice thing that happened during the trip was TGF started talking about how we need to come back during the summer and spend three days down there. One, I like the fact that she is thinking about taking a trip in the summer and two, I will get to spend three days with her away from everyone. Something else she did on the drive down which made me happy was the random grabbing of my hand or arm. It's very important to me and made me feel loved and with someone who wants to be with me. THAT feels good.

Around 9:30 we were all tired and ready to go. I let everyone sleep the majority of the trip home even though I was so tired I started to hallucinate. I did pull over at one point and slept for 1/2 hour before continuing. We got the majority of the way home before I couldn't take any more. I made KBF drive us the last hour of the trip home. It was around 4am when we got home.

Today we need to sort things out, clean the house, etc. She is sitting on the couch right now relaxing and I   am getting ready to do some work to help out my co-worker. Other than I plan on wrapping presents and watching crap on the DVR.

WHAT A PERFECT FUCKING TIME. Jesus, I love this girl and how good she is to me. I am happy.
