My job interview went well. I think very well. I am getting more and more excited about having the opportunity to work with this organization. I am still holding out on the name of the company for certain reasons. In due time though, I will be able to share with everyone. In the mean time, it's time for a little VACATION!!! My girlfriend and I are heading down to Florida for a few days and WE CAN'T WAIT! We will be soaking up some major sun rays, relaxing on the beach, and maybe even flying through the air on some bad-AS* roller coasters!

As thoughts of the sun enter in my mind so does the idea of toting around my stuff. As we go down to the beach, I will no doubt be carrying around more than the average man. I'll be the guy with the hat, the crazy trunks, the cooler, the man-purse (for diabetes stuff), the umbrella, the book, the hot girlfriend and the list goes on and on. A day on the beach for a diabetic hardly fits the description "a day on the beach". Sand gets everywhere, insulin gets hot, things get dirty and wet. But all that won't stop me from soaking up the rays and scoping out the chicks (just kidding sweetheart). Besides the outstanding beach adventure, we're also planning on a trip to a theme park.

She wants Disney World and I want Busch Gardens. Come on, guys out there I need your support on this. I don't want to hang out with a bunch of kids and Mickey Mouse characters. I would rather be flying and dropping through the air at 70 miles per hour and screaming for dear life. Either way though I know I will be sporting my meter, some glucose tabs, and an insulin pen. I'll be curious to see how my sugar reacts after running around all day on adrenaline; I'll be like a kid on crack running from ride to ride. Hopefully my meter will understand that I was at theme park and not jump to the conclusion that I'm a "bad" diabetic with high sugars!

Wish me luck. Thanks for reading, a soon to be very tan and relaxed Andy.
