7 Quick Takes: January 28, 2012 (Vol. 110)

~ 1 ~ I’ve been sick all week, and this has been pretty miserable.  It’s mostly just stuffed up sinuses, along with a headache (because my sinuses are stuffed up) and tiredness (because I’m not sleeping well because, well you know). I have a sneaky suspicion that having the weather go between warmish to really [...]

What We Ate at Walt Disney World on the Standard Disney Dining Plan (Days 1 – 4)
