Beachfront!

Well la-dee-da! We're on the beach!
We've switched hotels and now have a beach-front spot. Our balcony is facing the ocean, and I just watched a beautiful sunset. Sadly I was alone - Gussies still out there working.
I expect she'll be starving when she gets back - to alleviate that I have located a restaurant which I believe will be good to eat at. I want to eat out tonight because;

A: I like eating out, except for the paying part.
B: We don't have a lot of groceries - we really need to go. Will we go tonight? Maybe.

We head back to Illinois on Saturday. Yeah! Then Christmas. Yeah!

Gloating just aint my style (He LIES!)

Now I aint gonna lie; if I had a choice between an ice-storm in Illinois and 80 degree weather on Florida's beautiful Gulf side, I would have to choose the Gulf. That's just how I feel about it.
And as it so happens, the Gulf of Mexico is exactly where I'm at. Gussie and myself have been here for about 5 days, and until today it's been beautiful and gorgeous and all that. Today was stormy, which was neat in its own right, but prevented us from canoing, as we had so desired.
Christmas is approaching fast, which is exciting and terrifying. It's funny to be down here enjoying Christmas lights and music while heading for the beach. It doesn't feel right...

Well we entirely skipped posting for the month of November. Turkey was at the core of that decision, I believe.
We now (all of us, everywhere) find ourselves in December. I'm in a coffee shop called Cafe Kopi in Champaign, IL. It's fantastically cold here, and as I type I'm wearing knit gloves. This makes typing a slight pain in the ass, but my computer was in the trunk of our rented Ford Focus for about 3 hours, and is now as cold as a block of frozen ice. Maybe colder.
I'm taking a short break from my game-making work to report exciting news. Gussie and I got word today that we're off to Fort Myers Florida from now until sometime around Christmas. This is fantastic news for us, as we both would pick warm weather over cold, thunderstorms over ice storms, sandals over snowshoes, ect ect. We like warm, and if the weather channel isn't lying, that's exactly what we're going to get.
In cataclysmic camera failure news, our most recent replacement camera has gotten sick and been dropped off at Best Buys, so we havn't taken photo's in awhile. Soon though, we may have another faulty camera to use for a few weeks before it mysteriously breaks (or gets dropped off a cliff).
Next updates should be from the Gulf of Mexico. Cheers!
