Well its all paid for, my hotel is booked, I have paid the extra for insurance on my car since I am taking the drive down to TJ since its only 2.5hrs from home...I have been introducing shakes and broth and sugar free jello into my diet and I drink that much damn water that I think I need to move my desk into the bathroom, so I am ready, lets get this party started, hurry up, make it Wednesday Jan 28th already.
