Why, I'm in none other than the "happiest place on earth!" Well, technically, I'm at my hotel. Blogging from Disneyland itself seems a bit excessive. The hotel is nice. I really enjoy this chain of hotels. (I'll post what hotel I'm staying at in my first blog entry after getting home...wouldn't want some pyscho stalker coming to my hotel and finding me or something ;) )

Last night was our first night here. We went to Downtown Disney and ate at the Rainforest Cafe. Drake and I shared our meals because I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. lol So, I had the 2 lb. lobster and Drake and the macadamia nut crusted snapper. Both were HEAVENLY. I preferred the lobster though. (Go figure!)

Sera has a HORRIBLE time adjusting to new surroundings. At home, she has her own room and has complete silence when she's trying to sleep. Here, she's in the room with Drake and me. So, she had to go to sleep with us in the room, which was nearly impossible for her, but then she had to deal with the noise of the stupid sofabed all night long. (The kids are using the two double beds in the actual bedroom portion of the suite) Sera must have woken up at least ten times last night and just SCREAMED for who knows how long. Needless to say, I was HORRIBLY exhausted this morning. She's doing a bit better tonight, but that's just because she's so dang exhausted after a full day at Disneyland.

So, we went to Disneyland today!!! The kids had SO much fun. They LOVED almost all of the rides they went on! I was really concerned about the new Pirates of the Carribean. I was afraid it would be all cheesy since they redid it for the new movies. Thankfully, it was really tastefully done and a lot of fun. They stayed true to the majority of the old ride. The kids LOVED the Haunted Mansion. Tomorrow we're going to hit some more rides that we didn't get a chance to go on today. I think we may also hop parks and spend some time at California Adventure and see what that's like.

Ooooh, I almost forgot to mention...Drake fixed my camera!!! Okay, well, technically I suppose it's his camera, but whatever. I use it more often than he does. Apparently when I changed lenses last time, I didn't put the new one on correctly and that made the shutter not work and so on and so forth, so I didnt' actually break it like I thought I had! Yay me! However, that means you won't be seeing Disneyland pictures right away because I SO much prefer my manual over my digital and I'm HORRIBLE about getting film developed!

So, I think I have discovered LA's favorite song. I was able to listen to US 95.7 almost the entire drive up. Eventually, the static got bad and I was forcedto change the station. *sob So, anyways, I ask Drake, "Can you please change the station? The static is bugging me. Just find something good." By "good" I meant for him to find a local country station. His definition of good apparently differs from mine. So, anyways, I approved of the radio station he turned it to because it was playing Evenescence. I couldnt' have been listening to that radio station for more than 45 minutes because I just haven't been in the car up here all that much, but I have heard this song at LEAST four times. Seriously. So, because it has been stuck in my head for the past two days, you get to read it and get it stuck in yours!

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
Go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know

When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
Go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know

The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It’s eating me apart
Trace this life out

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

Who has to know?
who has to know?


So, now you know LA's favorite song...at least according to the radio station I've been listening to up here.
