[Prudence]

NA: Sugar! Lots of sugar! And THEN the alcohol, which makes me Really Super Chatty and I wave my arms about despite having no Mediterranean ancestry that I'm aware of. But right after the Super Chatty comes the Super Nap and I get all sleepy.

Zapppppppppop: So here's my pondering. I know gobs of stuff is going down in January. What do you think the odds are that they'll save bunches of it for the 9th? The 1st is on a Sunday this year, so many people have Monday off and are going to make a big weekend of it. Do you think the grand poobahs will start shuttering doors on Tuesday? Or will my gamble pay off and they'll wait that one more weekend?

Is this a sign that I think about this way too much?

It was great fun when we went around my birthday (12/16) a few years ago, but now finals week doesn't end until then and the 17th starts the weekend before Christmas. It wasn't so bad when we arrived on the 13th and left on the 17th, but I think arriving on the 17th would lead to disappointment. I think it would be better for me and my luggage to go just after the holidays.

(And I secretly loathe DL's Splash Mountain but Mr. Prudence loves it. I'm rooting for a closure!)
